3 sedan or 3 hatchback? I'd take the hatchback in a heartbeat.

I drive an SI and I say go with the Mazda 3--- so there you have it! The civic is fun and the color of my car is very unique - but there are too many civics. The 3 has got good reviews and has some extra needed power.
But if your looking for a car that wont give you any problems at all -- Civic SI/SIR

the mazda 3 has 49% the same parts as the focus and s40, so there are 2 more cars to add to your list.

Actuall, the Mazda 3 shares a lot of its componentry with the NEW generation Focus (which hasn't yet been released) and the NEW Volvo S40/V40 which have only just been released. I would not recommend going for the previous versions of those cars, as they will soon be phased out, though for North America the Focus is only undergoing a restyle and will retain the old chassis/componentry for several more years.
My dad was in charge of the Mazda 6 for a while, it's a wonderful car, you might want to consider looking at the 2.3L version of that as well. If not, then the Mazda 3 is definetely a better choice than the Civic. Smoother engine, nicer looking, better handling, more space, better crashworthiness, you really can't go wrong with it.

Get the Mazda 3. It looks/feels way better than the Civic. I hate the Civic! Honda makes BORING cars!
