I have to get a daily driver and it's down to a 2013 Mazda 3 or a 2014 Jetta. Both are the same price and have the same mileage. Any input?

Mazda 3. is it the skyactiv model? the 2.5? or the old 2.0 MZR?
>>17209905
Just get a civic for 3k.

Don't listen to this guy.
Get a Civic for 2k
2.0
>>17209933
old 2.0

I'd still go with the 3, but it would be nicer if it had either of the other engine options
>>17209977
Fuck off. The whole point of an econobox is to cost as little as possible. Spending 20k on a shitbox goes against that completely. The bottom limit on a decent car is 2500.

unless you want a car with modern features but low cost. plus you get better reliability than the 3k civic simply due to age

Oh fuck. You done did it now, they gonna sperg hard enough to spam the board for at least 3 days about this shit

>He thinks a used mazda 3 costs 20k
God bless the poorfags.

>a new mazda 3 sedan starts at 17.8k USD and the hatch tops out at 33.3k
maybe if the 2013 is a hatch with the 2.5 and is loaded with every option and it's a shit deal, it MIGHT be 20k
>>17210365
Lol no, wouldn't even be close. A '13 speed3 with all the options is 14k. Source: I have one.
>>17210388
wow, speed3s are that cheap now? it's gonna be stickershock when owners see the updated speed3 when it comes out
>>17210241
Even with repairs (worst case scenario) the civic would cost half as much as a 13k mazda 3. Insurance and property tax would be more on the Mazda. It would need repairs every now and then too. Retrofit an aux jack with the stock radio and the civic is just as good. Then save your money for a car that's actually good. Or a house.

>actually falling for the 3k civic meme
>>17210409
Honda's stock radios suck ass and their speakers are shit paper that are likely blown. might as well redo the whole system
>>17210399
Yea it's crazy how much they dropped off. I'm not really sure why, probably because the ST coming around and taking up more of the market than it. Shame, can call me biased but I think it's the most fun of the hot hatches and easily has the most power/room to mod (Pre rs at least).

Bitch, I started the meme.

I've replaced the the fronts.
