Consumer Comparison Test results are in! Honda wins!
The results of our second Consumer Comparison Test are in. This time around we pitted leading economy sedans against one another and let six real-world consumers do the evaluating. While we arranged the track and the excercises we didn't tell them our opinion of the vehicles.
The three contenders were the Honda Civic, Mazda 3 and Toyota Corolla. The Honda and Mazda were 2008 models but the Toyota was the all-new 2009 model. The vehicles cost within $500 of each other and were nearly identically equipped. And, most importantly, no vehicle manufacturer had any part in the comparison. Other so-called "editor for a day" tests, performed by various and sundry automotive publications, can't make that final claim...
The results were most interesting.
