Mazda MAZDA3 Review

2010 Mazda MAZDA3 s Grand Touring Sedan Shown

There's a reason why the Mazda 3 has been a perennial winner of Edmunds.com's Most Wanted Sedan or Wagon. No other car in the segment provides as much performance and driving fun for the money. Even the base Mazda 3 comes with a stout engine and a surprisingly sophisticated suspension and interior. But since even the entry-level car has been tuned toward the performance side, some buyers might find the Mazda 3's ride a bit too firm -- a small compromise for the car's impressive handling characteristics.
