Carsabi Fair Price

$16,812

The first Mazda3 was produced in 2004, and until 2009 it had a four-cylinder that put out 156 horsepower with either manual or automatic transmissions. The compact Mazda also provided crisp handling, though without great MPG ratings. The current generation launched in 2010 has a “big grin” grille that can be off-putting to some. Power is a four-cylinder with either 155 or 167 HP mated to a six-speed manual or automatic transmission. Reviewers praise the interior, as well as a smoother yet sharp handling profile. Hatchbacks also offer split seats for cargo versatility. While Mazda doesn’t produce a hybrid, they do have “Skyactiv-G” models that offer 40 MPG or better. The MazdaSpeed 3 offers best-in-class acceleration at 5.1 seconds to 60.
