Slowly pushing Mrs. Khalbali into the process of looking for her next vehicle, we requested print brochures! Honda Civic hatchback, kias soul and niro, and Mazda 3 and cx-3. We’ll see which arrives first, place bets now!
Feel free to make suggestions as always, being a Mazda tech I’m biased but I want her to have a car she likes. New is pretty important as reliability is important to her and she likes hatchbacks. Current car is 2013 Kia Rio which has been good to us but not a long term interest. Gas mileage and power are wants as well, and somebody please remind me what that Japanese game show was where they set up stunts and you could bet at home on what the outcome would be!

Can you guess based on my profile pic? A bit biased myself.

No Juke. Apart from wear items, oil, tires, & age related issues mine has been very reliable over 25,000kms. The 1.6 turbo has lots of midrange punch.

Not really a Nissan fan and I think the styling is too out there for her, although it is the only one I’d really consider at all.

I could have just grabbed some from the sales dept at work tomorrow lol but thought this would be a fun test. Plus the salesfolk get in a tizzy if they think a non-salesperson wants to buy a car.

3 hatch! The new Civic hatch has a rear that’s ugly as sin.

No clue about the arrival of the brochures, buy from the cars themselves I’d almost certainly get the Mazda 3 over the other ones on your list. CX3 is smaller, less practical and doesn’t drive as well. Civic is ugly. Those Kias aren’t my cup of tea, at all.

The Kia Niro is a good choice, like a Prius but not ugly:

I have a 2015 Mazda3 manual hatchback with around 115k miles. Great car.
As far as brochures go? I’m gonna guess Mazda. Honda won’t be in a rush because they think people will buy the car anyway without any information. Kia is always running out of paper brochures because the hamsters keep eating them.

thought the new civic is a first model year car ?
there are probably a lot they’ll need to update
never buy a first model year

Very valid point, however realistically we’re probably a year or so out, need to pay down the kia a bit before trading it in, she’s beat the hell out of it.

Yeah i had a 2015 i touring manual that i traded in for my NC and she really liked that so that’s the front runner/standard the others will be compared to.
