I believe that Honda are the most reliable car, well I own one, its a 1989 LX with 160k miles on it still running great, no major problems, just have to change oil every 3 months or 3000miles and change transmission fluid every 6 months.

So basically its a 22yr old car, but still running great, its just, I need more performance.
1989 Civic LX only have 92HP! Driving it nowadays in highway is a pain in the ass when merging, specially when the speed limit is 65mph.

But driving it on a 50mph speed limit is still ok, but not on 65 or 70mph hi-way.
Also I need a new car cause on summer, Im planning to drive to different states so, I need a new car.

Im leaning towards the Mazda 3, because its sporty, I have no doubt, that when I test drove this two car, Mazda is the winner, and its driving experience is far far from the Civic.

Im just a little bit concerned on the reliability of the Mazda 3, because I want to keep the car for a long time, like 10-15 yrs. I take care of car so its not an issue. Just look at my Honda Civic its 22yrs old and is still running great.

So going back to the question, what are your thoughts? Thanks in advance!
