There is a 6-speed manual transmission available on the base model in Canada but not in the US however, the US does get a manual transmission on the top GT trim with the turbocharged engine, this is not available in Canada.
I like the reminders you've been providing about fuel economy in sedans vs SUVs. A lot of the SUVs on the road now could've been sedans if people really questioned their driving needs.
I get 48 mpg on the highway quite often in my 2019 Jetta. Solid car.
The Mazda 3 should most definitely be one of the top 5, for many, many reasons (best handling, best looking, highest quality materials, fit and finish.....).
I very much agree. Seems to be little care for the Mazda 3 but it has a fantastic interior, great powertrain, unlimited mileage warranty. I bought a 2019 after trying nearly all cars they mark as their top-5 and the 3 is by far the best for what I was looking for.
Fuel economy is trash tho compared to everything else
Also very very reliable !!
With that torsion beam suspension, I'd pass on the Mazda. The Civic is a far better handling vehicle.
Agreed. I don’t know why they included the Nissan but not the Mazda
Thank you! My son has the base Jetta as his first new car, and it’s perfect. I have a GLI manual for my personal car, which I really enjoy. My wife has the Tiguan, which she enjoy. We didn’t intend to be a VW household, but that’s the way it went and if all goes well, it will continue.
KIA Forte. Have not had any maintenance issues after 3+ years of ownership. I have the hatchback (Forte5 GT) for the larger cargo space. Fun to drive!
Nissan SR with the manual transmission!! It ticks all the right boxes with me.
Compact has always been the segment that makes the most senses. I currently own 2 Civics. Mazda3, Corolla and Impreza were on the shopping list. Back in 2018 and 2019, "regular" Golf was available with 1.4T 8-speed AT. Mk8 Jetta has just introduced.
In the future, I would still consider anything gasoline and hybrid engines. As long as its not 100% electric, I would consider anything in compact class.
I may be nitpicking here but the 2018 golf had a 1.8T and a 5MT or 6 speed auto. 2019 it got nerfed to the 1.4 when the MK7 Jetta came out
Mazda3 no question. 6 speed auto turbo option 310lb ft torque and the materials/touch points are nice. Looks good too.
My new Kia Forte 2015 was about $11k Canadian. Was the very base model, but shocked how much car prices have climbed. Happy with the car though, still have it at 175 thousand kms.
That's like $8600 USD, no way it was that cheap. Even a Rio wouldn't have been that cheap.
@@nodak81 Yeah. MSRP for the base with 6mt was $15,995 plus freight/pdi, fees and taxes. Not sure how the person got it for half price. Or, they're just lying for some reason? Weird.
@@steve8803 maybe that was the price he paid with a trade in...🤔
@@jrs9264 Maybe, that's not what they said though.
@@nodak81 Correct, the 2015 Kia Forte prices ranged from $15,995 to $26,695.
Honda guy here. I love the new 11th gen civics. Definitely have a more premium/upscale look and feel to em. I'm going to be ordering mine in the next month or two, a 2024 sport sedan (cdn spec). Took one out for a drive at my local dealership when they first came out in 2021, absolutely gorgeous. Gonna be quite the upgrade from my current driver, a 2019 lx sedan. I've owned it for a little over 4½ years, and it's been amazing.
Got the 23 civic sport and I agree the 11th gen civics have seen a huge upgrade. Going to be riding this one for hopefully 10+ years.
Nice reviews but I would have loved to see the Mazda 3 featured as one of the Top 5. It gets my vote along with the Civic and the Corolla.
I was going to get a Corolla XLE, but got tired of waiting months and months for one to come into stock. I ended up getting a Mazda 3 in the preferred trim- I am beyond thrilled with the value, driving experience, and the interior- it blows away anything else on this list, even the Civic, in my opinion. It ended up being about $2000 less than the Corolla, and the buying experience was actually quite pleasant. Zoom zoom!
I agree with you about the Mazda 3 but for now, it is hard to get one here in Albuquerque without a wait. Prices are high, too. I am glad you found one, John, and are enjoying it. Too bad the reviewers in this video did not feature it in their Top 5 list. Sounds like they were overall not too impressed with it and it only made their "Honorable Mention" list.
Dude I’m in the same situation. I really want a mazda3 awd but cannot find one to save my life. Maybe it’s cuz I’m in Canada, idk.
If I were going as low in my budget as I could (and still be happy) I'd get the VW Jetta Sport trim. If I had a higher budget I'd get the Mazda 3 Premium. The Civic and Corolla are great, but Honda and Toyota dealers generally won't deal with you and tend to add on dealer markup.
Im looking for a late model used sedan. These reviews were so helpful. TY!!!
A couple of thing that everyone should know. The Nissan CVT transmission is known for being unreliable. They may have made them better the last few years, but they would just break around 80,000 miles and all you can do is replace with new or used, can't repair them. Hyundai (Kia, owned by Hyundai) have oil burn issues with their 4CYL engines. They claim it's normal after 10,000 mile to burn a quart every 5,000 after that. (I've had vehilces with over 100,000 miles and not burn that much, if any) Just took my Kia Sorento in for an oil change, and as soon as it went in to the computer, a warning came up that the engine burns oil. I was a quart down after 8,000 and I only have 32,000 on it. Just do your homework when looking at any car as always.
I’m sure you won’t buy a Nissan. But the truth is the transmissions CAN go 200,000 miles. Especially Sentra. There’s a TH-cam video of a Nissan rogue 2016 with 200,000 miles transmission still running strong in that Nissan rogue. It’s a lot heavier.
Love that you both love sedans instead of SUV's! Great review, as always.
I tend to keep vehicles for a long time so either the Civic Sport or Corolla SE. I know this is a look at sedans only but you can’t beat the combination of utility, dependability, and MPG of a Civic hatchback.
Do you have one?
Honda civic is the only New car Is ever buy
@@didafm I’m really considering a civic hatch. I think it has the looks and reliability. Is the sport trim good enough?
@@elijames2945 I have a previous generation. A 2020 EX. Much different styling, you either love it or you hate it. Had it 2 and a half years. No problems whatsoever. MPG average is at 36 in combined driving. I’ve gotten as high as 48 on road trips of at least 300 miles. Very happy with it.
@@JoKIA_-100 have you been able to use all your features?
Civic hatch hybrid max 33k cdn. Make it happen Honda. Great video guys
Enjoying your latest video listing your top 5 compact sedans Andrea, always informative. I prefer a sedan as a wheelchair user.
Glad you are enjoying them, it's always good to put a summary out of these different kinds of vehicles available.
@Andrea Spencer Most certainly agree Andrea and you both must enjoy revisiting them too!
Mazda3! all day, any day
Nice to still see sedans. I was always a car guy, swore I’d never drive an SUV. But out of necessity I had to trade my 08 Sebring on a Ford Flex.
The Sebring traded at over 300k kms with zero mechanical issues aside from brakes and tires. I quickly fell in love with the Flex and continue to drive suv.
I still like to see sedans on the road but some of them are really tough to get into such as my neighbours chevy Cruze.
How did Zack find entering and egressing these cars?
I think that most people worried about egress would opt for a crossover or suv
In the USA, the Nissan Sentra is usually sold at or below MSRP.
I've found myself liking your reviews the best. Thanks guys.
Woo! I was waiting for this! 😊
I'll take the Mazda 3 over all of these anyday ...
Great video, so many really good cars out there today that it is hard to decide. I have two single, lady friends (one is 50, the other 73) who I will be helping to purchase new cars in the next year. They both keep cars 10 yrs+. At this point I plan on recommending hybrids to them as I can only see the price of gas going up in the future. The Corolla hybrid is a steal (at least in the US) for someone like this. My 2nd choice for them is a Kia Niro as I think hatches are so practical it packs in a lot of nice features at a very reasonable price.. The Elantra Hybrid is also in the running but it probably bigger than they need.
The Sentra SR Manual! Looks like an amazing deal.
Great Comparison Video!
Thanks Guys!
Honda Civic, my pick
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!
mazda3 is my choice... its the only awd here, its a must for me for icy hills...
Corolla also comes in AWD (in Canada at least, maybe not where you are)
@@jeffb.6642 In the US, there is an AWD Corolla hybrid option as well.
Enjoy the torsion beam rear suspension (cheap) ........
No one drives Mazda 3
@@patone2184 Only CVT haters drive a Mazda.......
Just bought a 23 civic lx. I want to be able to keep it a long time and liked the look and space better than the corolla. The corolla was also going to be a 6 month wait. The lower price was tempting though.
No one can trash talk a small Asian 4 cylinder to me. Rented one on holiday in Costa Rica and those things are beasts, super tough and great fuel economy. For my personal though, I'm going to take the VW every time. Miss my Golf....
I actually like the look of the Jetta, especially the LED lights. Good size. I would be tempted to get the GLI, but the base engine is good too. :)
Exactly what I was thinking and the new 1.5 turbo looks good. The other thing is the Jetta is the perfect size for an urban commute, and easy to park.
Jetta the class of the segment
I hate the CVT and won't buy another car with it. For those of us who love manual transmissions, there are few options unless you go with expensive options.
Toyota corolla Hybrid, because the most reliable manufacturer among the ones I mentioned, because it's a hybrid, because in our country Toyota is highly valued and retains its value for a long time, More reliable in terms of failures than competitors, the best choice in this list.
If we needed a new sedan we would go with the Corolla due to reliability. We have a 20+ year old Corolla, just 81,000 miles, that we use for all those run around errands. Yes, back seat is a bit tight but it just runs and runs and runs!
We have two 2001 Toyotas. No need to shop for any more vehicles!
After driving my ‘02 Honda Civic LX for 18 years, it was WAAAY past time for an upgrade. I bought a brand new 2023 Honda Civic Touring in January 2023. Going from such an old car in the lower trim to a brand new one in the highest trim, I feel like I’m driving a completely different car! Honda tried charging me a $4K market adjustment fee. I said no. Ha ha! I paid $31.6K MSRP, $35K out the door. Pretty pricey for a Civic, but I love it. Honda has gone back to their design roots. I absolutely love the understated, polished exterior with the semi-luxury interior with all the tech. It’s a really beautiful car and I’m super happy with it. 😊
For those on a budget, the Sentra is a solid choice. If you can spend a bit more, get the Corolla Hybrid. The Sentra is a good looking car, with solid features and a decent price. I think the overall reliability will be pretty good as well. The Corolla Hybrid is as reliable as an anvil, sips fuel and will have a very low overall cost of ownership. The $2300 upcharge (CAD) for Toyota's Hybrid option will likely be made back in 3 years in fuel savings, but even if you can't swing the Hybrid, the gas versions are also very good choices. All cars get decent highway mileage. If most of your driving is in city, that's where Hybrids will shine as Hybrids are really just operating as regular gas cars on the highway (although they typically still tend to be a bit more efficient than their gas only counterparts).
Hybrid for me. The manual sentra would be reliable but not available in USA
It can’t get out of it’s own way. Virtually powerless
@@daniel8728 Maybe it's your driving habit? I see load of people commuting this kind of horse power vehicles.
Wow the Civic is priced high .....when I bought a new 2015 civic si it was only 28,000 all in CAD !! Nice review 👍🏽
We literally picked the Sentra SR w/Premium Package a month after this video came out. Styling and the 360 view. We went out to buy a Hybrid Corolla but was told that the waiting list would be many months. So far, we're happy with the Nissan with the exception of a fluid leak where the engine meets the transmission.
Make sure to do all the maintenance they say that you need to do transmission fluid every 60,000 miles or talk Nissan dealership
@bag499 yes. Car Wizard channel which maintains Nissans as well as others suggests 30k miles on tranny.
I bought a 2022 Jetta GLI before the price hike amazing deal underrated car!! My son just bought a 2023 Jetta Comfortline with Sport package and he is super happy. We are both coming from my 2018 Mqzda3 Gs. Go Volkswagen!!!
I would have no problem recommending either the Honda or the Toyota, they both are amazing cars with great reliability. You simply cannot go wrong with either, but… neither would not be on my shopping list. If I could afford it, my top car in this category would have to be the GLI… full stop. I am a huge fan of German styled motorcars (in/out) and their slightly unique approach to (German) engineering. If the price were paramount (and drive experience), I would personally visit a Mazda dealership. The only obstacle that holds the Mazda back is their styling and their tighter cabin size. But with that being said… for expected reliability, resale and typical ownership experiences… you’d absolutely have to go to Honda (1rst) and Toyota (2nd). You probably wouldn’t ever be disappointed. Thanks for the comparison video.
I grabbed a 23 civic si in pearl white this past January. I get 5.5L/100 and it's decently fun to drive.
Definitely the Mazda3 sedan for me... in Soul Red
The best choice here.
Great video, for me GlI takes the cake, second choice is the N-line, both with MT.
Wow! the Honda Civic is expensive in Canada. The Nissan Sentra seems like a good deal all around , a suprise about the Volkswagen Jetta fuel economy. All in all good choices 👍🙂. Great review!!
My soon got a 23 jetta with the sport package. I was pleasantly surprised. Great ride and love the inside.
Handles well and very comfortable. Was 3000 dollars lower than a civic. Great car for the money.
If I were in the market for a compact sedan I'd go with the Corolla AWD for our nasty Canadian winters.
I've kind of outgrown them though, being 6ft. 3 and 300lbs. and barely squeezing behind the wheel of the last gen Corolla. I had an Elantra that was much roomier and easier for me to get in and out of so if that was available in AWD, that would be the pick over the Toyota.
I put on 6000km in my Elantra N (in one month) in 3 really bad snow storm. That LSD in EN will pull up the worst hills in almost a foot of snow.
Hidden gem….Kia K5 AWD.
I own a 2022 Corolla hybrid. The car is very good in almost everything you ask for( Not a sports car). Great fuel economy on average 4.5 l/ 100km. It does have huge issue though, on highway it’s extremely noisy( road noise). It’s so loud that I’m thinking of getting rid off it. Have they fixed it for 2023? Please test drive on the highway if you are interested in buying.
Can you’ll please do a review for the 2023 Mercedes Benz GLB 250 ? Thank you
Out of that batch I’d go for the honda civic with the base engine for its simplicity and, as you mention, the reliability. I dont like the styling of the elantra, corolla looks boring, nissan too small, volkwagon hit or miss reliability and cost of repairs. Also have owned two civics and never had major problems with them.
The mazda 3 has a naturally aspirated engine which is not the most fuel efficient but the throttle feel and ride quality won me over compared to the cvt engines in most other cars named here. More premium feel for the price too.
Happy to see you guys in the morning, happy weekend!
Enjoy the weekend!
Thanks for another excellent review. New moonSwatch? Great match with your outfit! Super clear video👍 I like the Sentra's interior.
Good eye
Thanks, love it in pink!
I sit in my chair and having a coffee and chips and I did enjoy you guys talking about the sedans. All are great. But backseats are the problem for tall people like Zack and today kids are very tall. I would pick Jetta because of Interior design. Cheers! ☕️☕️
Great, so glad you enjoyed it! The VW Jetta and GLI are great for space in the rear seat along with the Hyundai Elantra.
@@andreaspencer9813 exactly 👍🏻
Love compacts, especially in stick. I was ready to get off my wallet with the new civic until the eye popping base price was $28k! After a a few bumps in the road my Subaru dealer was able to snag a 6 spd crosstrek touring for $1k less than a base civic. Not a sporty but it’s mountain goat ruggedness will make up the difference. And last gen manual to boot. Thanks for keeping small cars alive you two. ✌️
NICE GREAT OVERVIEW AM ALSO BIG FAN 🤩🤩🤩😍
Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed the Top 5
Tough choice thank you for including the American models and pricing❤
I chose the 2023 Sentra SR manual. I drove the others but at $25,000 Canadian for the top SR trim, it was not only one of the best handling cars, the seats are amazing but also the top SR trim price was cheaper than other competitors base models. :)
❤️ My elantra ❤️
The new Civic is nearly 4' longer than the first US Civic. Crazy.
The Elantra because the seller from Hyundai told me it was the best on the market! ;) No joke, I bought a new Elantra and it is great for the fuel economy, the inside and outside look, the seat and the driving wheel is so confortable, etc.
I still drive a sedan and believe they provide what many drivers need. Unfortunately many want a box where they sit up higher for a "better" view of the road.
I believe the Mazda has increased hp to 191 this year.
Yes, you are correct, we missed that.
I'd go with the Carolla for pure reliability, but the 2.0 NA civic is going to have an equally reliabile powertrain. Where the civic falls short in reliability is with thier paint, brakes, infotainment system, and AC.
It's crazy how expensive the Honda is nowadays, am I crazy or was the Civic touring about the same price as a Jetta GLI?
Honda pricing is on the rise in Canada, better pricing in the US.
And the GLI blows it away
I went with the civic Touring and although it is very nice i do have some complaints. The backup camera is shameful its so grainy i thought it was broken when I got it compared to my wife’s Elantra. The infotainment system freezes up often and don’t plan on wireless charging if you have a newer iPhone. I contacted Honda about it and they said they know of the issue but don’t have a fix……thanks Honda. Love your videos!
I drive a 2018 Civic Sport Touring Hatch 6MT. In a few words: it's a smaller Accord. 130 000km and we adore it! I'm seriously considering a 2024 to replace my other car, a 2008 Accord Coupe 5MT, with 260 000km... A bit $$$ but worth it IMHO.
Reliability should be at the top of the list!
Even when I'm off the beaten path, you guys already know about it... I traded my beloved 6MT Civic for a 2023 Elantra N (6MT) and already did 6k on some of the worst snow storms. Highly recommended for enthusiast that want a car that can handle Canadian driving. Sucks that EN consumes about 25% more then my 2017 Civic (6MT), but that old Civic was on par with a Corolla Hybrid for real world driving.
Can’t afford any new compact car. I’ll keep my 2016 Elantra GT GL Auto. 166,400 Kms no major problems.
I do not see much sense in buying midsize sedans especially for 30K price range so my choice is Toyota Camry TRD 3.6 litre with 300 hp which has superior characteristics in everything above puny sedans. This is called an asymmetric approach to the problem.
Mid sized sedan 😂
Great informative video, but, I'm a die hard Subaru nut..did like the civic though.
Waiting to see what the hybrid Civic will be like … power … mileage … trim levels . I hope they go with the CRV power train pushing up the hp and torque . Hopefully it will be the hatchback. The price will be upped no doubt . If it’s 10k less than the CRV … I might trade in my CRV … go back to a hatch.
I'd pick the Sentra with the manual, but only if it came with AWD,living in Canada we need AWD. I think that all cars sold in Canada Should Be AWD. Subaru got it right many Years ago, I don't know why the other manufacturers do not.
I love the exterior look of the Elantra!
I find it interesting that the Subaru Impreza didn’t make your honourable mention list given you gave the Crosstrek top marks in the subcompact SUV list and these two vehicles are essentially the same.
Plus AWD standard.
It’s a boring vehicle to drive and not a good value. Not a top five in this category
I had a VW Golf that had the 1.8 with 180 HP that was back in 2015 and then they went away with it but that was a perfect engine and I was getting probably 31 or 32 miles per gallon
Been looking for a MT, Mazda 3 seems like the best deal so far, base model has the options I really care for, namely cruise control and AC. I generally prefer the 5 door version, but I find the 4 door looks better in this generation.
Wander what’s the eyeball for. It’s strange. Thanks for the review!
Mazda 3 not in top 5 but the Nissan is? Thats a shame the Nissan has a really bad transmission that almost killed mazda back in the early 10s late 00s Jatco
Civic and Mazda 3 are the best by far
The price difference between Canada and the US is substantial.
72c Canadian Peso
I have a 2018 Civic and I hate the seat and I'm not alone with people hating Honda seats
Andrea is so beautiful
Corolla hybrid and Elantra hybrids are both decent, if you could actually get them in time at MSRP. Both are 1 to 1.5 year wait. I've put an order for Elantra Hybrid in June 2022 and still no word, the MSRP for 2023 model went up by 2.7k and on the paper I signed (not bill of sale) they added $599 admin fee, $599 rubber floor mats, $89 fuel, $110 wheel locks. Not sure why I still haven't cancelled and gotten my $500 refundable deposit back.
Look elsewhere, hybrid is nice to have especially for city drivers, but those hybrid vehicles currently are 6 months to 1 year wait times by order........
when a stealership starts adding on garbage like that to your deal, tell them to shove it , and walk away. in another 6 months to a year, they will be begging for your business. 💰🤑🤔💯👍
I guess I was lucky then I ordered my Corolla Hybrid LE AWD in September of last year and just picked it up last week I am in Ontario
I'm surprised how much of a good deal you can get with a Sentra SR with the 6 speed MT in Canada, and the car itself looks pretty good. Now, I have to mention this also: for once, I heard Andrea say that she did not like the look of a car. But i can't blame her, it's the Elantra and it is ugly. Good job guys!
Is there a hatch version? Nissan could have a winner for first kid purchaser tuner type
Sentra SR Manual was $22.9 in 2021 and now is $24.9 in 2023 maybe the 2023 Sentra S manual is a good deal at $20.5 MSRP.........
My friend had two Sentras and both were lemons. He got a full refund on the first one and they gave him another that was still mechanically messed up but not has bad as his original (new) Sentra. I would not buy any Nissan product.
@@happykt What year were those Sentras? 2020 and up Sentra are much improved over previous generations........
Bc Nissans are crappy vehicles
Great reviews..
Jetta would be my choice simply because it doesn't have a CVT. The Corolla hybrid would be the runner up for the same reason.
Neither does the Mazda.
@@joepowell7025 Yeah, but I owned a Mazda and it was a turd. Dealer had to buy it back under the lemon law after I made a stink about it.
@@nodak81 What year and model was your lemon Mazda?
Looking forward for civic hybrid long terms reliability
We look forward to driving that one.
@andreaspencer9813 hello Andrea, what would you suggest me among accord, camry and sonata hybrids for better value and milage?
Why is complementary maintenance not offered in Canada? 😤
Own a 2005 Toyota Matrix AWD, would like to replace it with a Corolla hatchback with the Hybrid Engine and AWD. Do you think they will be coming out with one in the future.
Get a corolla sedan and you won't look back
I have driven Corolla for 7 years, civic for one and Jetta for one. Corolla is the most reliable never had an issue, Jetta is more fun to drive and civic feels more luxury. If and only if Toyota improves the interior slightly by adding more features it can not be beaten.
What car are you guys in? I like the panoramic roof.
Im actually surprised you guys didnt pick Mazda as a pick considering how reliable their cars are with decent amount of space. But great video overall
EXACTLY !
I love my Honda Civic 😊
No Mazda?
What compact sedan is available in AWD and with ventilated seats?
I was going to get my daughter the turbo Kona limited. a couple year ago they sticked for 28K (US) but you could get them for about 25K. Now that they are 30K and they are't taking much off I am going to go Corolla or Civic.
We are Honda people , but not a fan of CVT , don't like the noise . We will wait for your road test and comment on the noise level . 'Till then we're happy with our '08 Civic coupe 5 spd .
Mazda3
