I would get the SI, it's a cool nice looking fun little car.. And there are tons of parts out for it in the after market.

Just got done with the Mazda going to look at Honda one more time.

The Mazda I can get full tech package 24,995 brand new ...
Civic SI is 25880

Haven't made any decisions yet as far as the civic and the ms3 the comment above makes me weary to get the Mazda now.... Makes me feel like the civic would be better

Make no mistake, the MS3 will walk all over the Civic in a race (stock for stock). However, the Civic is a more reliable motor, has a smoother transmission and shifter, etc.

For me, I would consider the Civic and add some supporting mods or a small roots supercharger for a fun ride on a budget.

True point ...
