Is the civic si much faster than the Mazda 3? Which has better handling?

The car I'm comparing is a 2006 Mazda 3 I touring sedan with a 5 speed manual vs a 2007 Honda Civic si. Also which car can take sharper corners at higher speeds?

The Mazda 3 is a fuel economy car it comes with 180 hp at the most the civic si is a "sports car" and does 0-60 In a supposed 6.5 seconds which is fast by modern standards but that's also the 0-60 time of the new Buick Lucerne which is not a performance car and not meant to be a performance car but the civic si outperforms the Mazda 3 in every way easily

Both is averagely good.
For comparison, Honda has a sturdy chassis & and better power.
So, I think that Honda is managed to take a sharp turning at high speed.
