Regarding interior space, the Civic is better over the Mazda3. My brother-in-law drives a Civic RS and the rear seats can fit 3 adults comfortably though not as comfortable as with a midsize like an Accord or Mazda6.
Good to know that the Civic is quite spacious. I plan to ask for a test drive soon. Thanks guys!
