I was really set to buy the Toyota Prius until I discovered there is a 6-8 month wait. So I started looking into the Mazda3 & here I am!
There are of course advantages & disadvantages to each, and I do realize they are in two different classes. But I was wondering if anyone on this board had looked into the Prius before choosing the Mazda 3.
The Mazda3 does not get the gas mileage obviously that the Prius gets, but I'm more curious about the ride. The Prius gets good reviews about how quiet & smooth the ride is. With the Mazda3 being more of a sporty type vehicle, what is the ride like?
Also, I would definitely get the Navigation system. But I can't find any pdf's or online user guides to compare it to the Prius's system. Anyone know if it's available online somewhere?
Thanks for any info you can offer me...
