Civic vs. Fit vs. Mazda3i vs. new Sentra...

My uncle's looking for a reliable fuel-sipper as a daily commuter car. Which would you choose out of these and why?

I personally would go with the Mazda3i. I love their current designs and the interior feels European. Gas mileage is a little worse than the others, but it makes up for it in looks(my .02)...

What say you? He's planning on purchasing it and keeping it for at least 10 years...psst...he also keeps a Corvette in the garage for the weekend

I would get a Honda Civic EX. I don't really need a new car and I like them enough to go buy one. I test drove an EX about a months ago. The interior was very nice, acceleration more than acceptable w/ the standard transmission, and the ride was smooth. Gas mileage is 40/gal which can't be beat, and Honda reliablity is unparalleled.

I like the Mazda 3 too, but If iwere to buy a Mazda, I'd buy the speed 6.

Add another for the Civic. He'll also really like you when he decided to sell it at slightly less than what he paid for it.

I agree with you on the 3...it's hard to beat the good ole civic.

Go for the 3

I got a Honda Civic Ex 2004 and won't trade for nothing.

I'd get the 3.

Personally I love the VW TDI series (Jetta, Beetle, Rabbit) gives you just as good of gas mileage as the civic. And a lets face it diesels last forever.

I like the fit but it's pretty close in price to the civic! I would also get the Civic!
