How would my 4 cylinder SUV do against this fuel economy sport compact?

Last year, my previous car was a 2006 mazda 3i touring sedan with the 5 speed. The main things i loved about this car aside from its looks was the sporty handling that made it fun to drive and easily go over double to the speed limit. However, now i have a 2003 Honda element ex awd with the 4 spd automatic. Coming from a sport compact i feel embarrassed driving a vehicle that looks like a "toaster on wheels".

my question is how does the elements perfomance compare with the mazda 3 in terms of 0-60 acceleration, handling, and top end speed?

like if there where two drivers on the highway and suddenly a road rage chase sparked between them and each of them where driving these cars, which car would prevail in this scenario?

2003 Honda Element troll strikes again.

If you already HAVE the Honda, why can't you answer this STUPID question for yourself?

Hi so chances are well matched.

In the hands of a competent driver the SUV is toast against the sport compact.
But most such debates are settled by which driver is craziest.
