    Question Mazda 3 Turbo Hatchback vs. Acura Integra

    I've reduced my options for a car to two: the 2023 Mazda 3 Turbo AWD Premium Plus Hatchback and the 2023 Acura Integra A-Spec with Technology Package and 6-speed manual transmission.

    In terms of performance, features, and enjoyment factor, I want the best deal. Since I would be keeping the car for a while, dependability would be a key consideration. The AWD that the Mazda would offer is not necessary for me because I live in the Midwest.

    Which of the two vehicles—with the aforementioned trims—would offer the best value in terms of performance, features, and fun given that they are both in the same price range ($35–$40k)?

    With 40K USD - for best performance and value - I would go a Build a Mazda Miata NC / Daily drive track car
    https://www.cargurus.com/Cars/l-Used...338506240/NONE for $14K
    and $10-$15K to add suspension, exhaust, ITBs & ECU = 200WHP car.

    As for your choices i would lean towards the Mazda 3 and soon VF Tuner should unlock the OEM ECU and and probably
    be able to add 50WHP

    Test drive both and decide which would be best & practical for your lifestyle.
    Since you plan on keeping it for a while, consider:
    • maintenance costs
      • dealer/mechanic convenience
      • gas requirement

    • insurance premium
    • aftermarket support for mods
