Just wanted to get some advice! I want to buy a new car and have narrowed it down to the Scion tc and the Mazda3 i touring. Honda civics could still be in the running.

Suggestions??

Unless you are referring to the Civic Si, the Mazda3 and tC are in a different league i think. Either is a fine choice. I did test drive a Mazda3 when i was car shopping and i believe the steering is a little sharper, more precise than the tC.
