Ok guys. Looking for a new compact sedan. Right now it's between the 2017 Hyundai Elantra and the 2016 Mazda 3. I'll be getting the base models on either, with automatic transmission (I don't live in an area when owning a manual is practical/enjoyable). What do you guys think? I'm not looking to be persuaded into buying a shitbox, so stay on topic please

In b4 manual complain thread.
The Mazda is more expensive so there you go.
>>15345706
I like the Mazda more.
Corolla and Civic are better.
There's a reason they sell more.

Mazda makes best looking sedans currently imo. I drove a 3 and it was great, both auto and manual. Mazda 3 has the 2.5l engine option which makes it even more fun. Just go out for a spin on both honestly, always boils down to preference on looks/features
Kys op
>>15345706
Why not a Chevy Cruze or Honda Civic?
>>15345706
Elantra if going for the base models.

Asks for recommendations on shitboxes

Lightly used Fiesta ST

He probably wants something reliable
>>15345706
Neither. They're both shitboxes. Get a nicer used car for the same price or shut up and buy a civic for <5k

>has never driven a mazda 3
Stop talking without knowing what youre talking about
>>15346838
And yet they're still far below all of its competition.

>mom I posted it again
>>15348827
I actually have. It's still just an econobox with shitty modern car design.
Why spend 20k on an econobox when you could get a C300 manual, g37 coupe or sedan, legacy gt turbo, Mustang, etc...
>>15348860
No you havent.
Youre a shit posting bus rider
>>15348860

>>15348902
There are some truths to memes. Otherwise they wouldnt exist
>>15345706
Mazda isn't that reliable
I'd say the Hyundai for a boring 4 cylinder car
