I was in the same boat last month. I had 2007 civic ex coupe that I used for work. We had a baby and figured that another 4 door in the family wouldn't hurt.
I went with a mazda3 5 door in white. 2011 Grand touring with Bluetooth and Bose. Paid 21k for the car.
I can't say enough good things about it. It's the same chassis as an escort and a volvo.
I can say that my Honda had more leg to seat room but Mazda is easier to get on and out of. Also I'm a chef and spend alot of time at farmers markets.
Civic had better millard though. Also it made power at higher rmps than Mazda. 1.8 compared to 2.5.
Mazda seems to have a stiffer body that Honda.
That's my experience between the 2. Good luck!
