This popped up on my feed today. Kind of Interesting and definitely no surprises here when I was looking at a new cars last year. IMO the civic was just better value for the price and dare I say the manual drove a lot better.

2010 Black Mazdaspeed 3 - Lightly modded
And also because with Gen3 and up, the 3 has become a snoozefest. They've tried too hard to make the cheap interior look premium to attract luxury buyers who no doubt don't even have Mazda on their radar.
They forgot the success of their mainstream models was because of young professionals with a passion for driving. I drove Gen3 and Gen4 MZ3s and nearly passed out from how sterile and lifeless it felt.
It's not all on Mazda though, most brands are churning out ugly SUV after ugly SUV and the tasteless masses keep lapping it up, prompting other brands to do the same and ignore the sedan and hatch segment until you're left with unreliable VWs and overdesigned plastic Toyotas/Hondas.
Anyone interested in a stock exhaust? Going to be buying the Corksport setup and I don't have the storage room to keep the old exhaust.
Who here still has a Mazda?
This site is definitely a lot quieter than it used to be.

I'm jealous of how well your 3 has done, as well as being a 2.3L.
I definitely miss my little go cart. With grippy tires and how the suspension was set up, I would never break traction in the corners. I miss taking on/off ramps at stupid speeds.
The Honda so far has a much nice motor, shifter & clutch than the Mazda had, but it steps out sometimes when cornering.
Once my lease is over next year I might pick up a nice 2.5L gen2 hatch. Just make another clone of the clone of @Daileydose hatch. Minus the flies.
I still have my rally sedan. The thought of someone else owning her gives me shivers.
