Comfort
The Kia K5 offers rear passengers about the same space to stretch out as the Mazda Mazda3 with comparable rear head- and legroom in both vehicles.
The Kia K5 will be a favorite with taller drivers due to its greater front head- and legroom than the Mazda Mazda3.

Another consideration is the Destination Charge, which is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle to the dealer from where it's built. The Kia K5 and the Mazda Mazda3 have similar Destination Charges.
