But nothing will beat the resale value a Civic will have.
This. Mazda's are up there with Honda and Toyota for dependability and fairly cheap maintenance (especially when compared to American cars), but a Civic will probably be better long term if you plan on selling. Still, you shouldn't be basing a purchase off of selling it in the future.
I have a 2015 Mazda with 70,000 miles and nothing has happened since I bought it new outside of regular maintenance. Fun as hell to drive, but a Civic is a solid purchase.
