Editorial Reviews Customer Reviews Editorial Reviews 2010 Mazda 3 Review Re-engineered premium car at compact price. "The Mazda3 is known as an attractive, premium small car at a reasonable price, and the 2010 update only reinforces that hard-earned reputation. It does cost a bit more than most direct competitors, but it also offers a sportier character and several amenities normally reserved for luxury cars. The hatchback body style feels even sportier and provides useful space. If you're looking for a small car, be sure to put the Mazda3 on your shopping list."

Such is the prevailing sentiment whenever one ventures to follow up a successful first try, yet the second go-round often turns out to be a disappointment. The original Mazda 3 was a huge s..."

Fans of the previous MAZDA3, who want something that offers a new level of style and sophistication with better overall performance and handling, plus improved fuel economy, should be well pleased with the 2010 version. YOU MAY NOT LIKE THIS CAR IF... If Mazda's new 21st-century take on the Happy Face front end seems a bit too much – or if you really need something with more rear seating space – the 2010 MAZDA3 might not be the right choice."

The Mazda3 is useful, space-efficient, economical and pleasant across a broad range of driving situations. It also has the style, comfort, features, and personality to transform any driving experience into a sporting proposition. It's slightly less refined than its competition from Honda and Toyota, but you seem to get more car for your money, and that means personality as well as features. Compared to the competition, the Mazda3 is a driver's c" Read more Edmunds.com 2009 Mazda MAZDA3 Overview Vehicle Overview from Edmunds.com "Cars are usually not like a fine wine: They don't get better with age. Normally, if you plotted a car's year-to-year sales, you would see a downward trend as the excitement of its introduction wanes and newer competitors debut...."

If you're shopping for an economical small car that can be nicely equipped for around $18,000, check out the 2009 Mazda MAZDA3. Sharp styling and road-hugging handling are standard, as is a long list of uncommon options such as DVD navigation and Bose audio. YOU MAY NOT LIKE THIS CAR IF... If you're searching for maximum passenger space, the MAZDA3's rear-seat legroom won't impress. Though no wimp, the 2.3-liter engine can't compete with the high-powered turbocharged engines from Subaru, Volkswagen and MINI."

If you're in the market for a compact pocket rocket that can also serve as a daily driver, the MAZDASPEED3 should be at the top of your list. With a sub six-second zero to 60-mph time and a top speed of 155 miles per hour, there's nothing in this price range that can match the 2009 MAZDASPEED3's performance. YOU MAY NOT LIKE THIS CAR IF... The MAZDASPEED treatment is aimed at hardcore enthusiasts and includes a noticeably stiffer ride, increased interior noise levels and a drop in fuel economy from the standard MAZDA3. If you like the idea of a quick car that is still comfortable and quiet, the Volkswagen GTI might make a better choice." Read more 2008 Mazda 3 Review Sporty with worldly charm.

It's solidly executed, with no flaws, a strong engine, transmission, handling, brakes, comfort, packaging and looks. We like the versatile five-door. More than a great compact, it is truly a car for our times." Read more Kelley Blue Book ® - 2004 Mazda MAZDA3 Overview Vehicle Overview from Kelley Blue Book Read more
