I'm looking to buy a car, I narrow it down to the 2011 or 12 Mazda 3 or the 2012 Honda civic. I keep reading about transmission issues with Mazda 3, is that correct?
BTW the mazda's available for me to buy have around 120k miles. I appreciate any guidance on the Mazdas issues.

 

BTW I was looking at the consumer reports and it says that the 2011 has less issues than the 12...is that correct?

 

Transmission in both years are virtually flawless.

 

Thanks....After thinking about I decided that it would be best to spend more money and buy a Mazda 6, 2016 or 17...I'm negotiating a purchase from a private user for a 2017, finger crossed.
