Mazda Mazda3
Still as attractive as ever, despite its age, the Mazda3 remains the quintessential model of its segment, even with the introduction of very interesting rivals. The four-door sedan offers everything a compact automobile should have to please all, while the hatchback adds style and convenience. It comes with a choice of either a 148 horsepower 2.0-litre or a 156 horsepower 2.3-litre engine. And then, there is the Mazdaspeed3, a more dynamic version powered by a turbo engine.
