Dunno they killed the civic HX off for the hybrids. I got a 2001 hx and I get 45 ( commute )-52 ( roadtrip ) mpg avg over the last 160,000 miles. Guys at work who bought 2002 hybrids only get about 45 mpg on their trip to work, and paid about 7,000 more for their car than I did. Mine was 12,700 out the door taxes and all. with AC installed. ( ac is addon for hx's )

However the Mazda 3 1.6 MZ-CD has indeed more torque (240 Nm). Which btw gets between 46 and 66 mpg.

Any half-decent turbo-diesel will make more torque. But due to much smaller engine speed operating range, it needs a much longer gearing. And you're back to what the Baron just said above.
And as Paul Frère mentions in Yamagushi's book, the RX8 HP has as much torque at the wheels as the Boxter S 986.

Hybrid still higher to about 4000 rpm
The thing about this almost 400 lb lighter vehicle is that urban use will be satisfying--the peak torque is there at 1000, 2000, and 3,000 rpm vs. 5500 for RX8.

Mentalhealth is overrated
^exactly....for all those people who bitch about HP and torgue.....you bought the wrong car and you should have known better before you bought it. There is so much more to this car unless all you care about is racing street light to street light.
