    Mazda3 vs. Ford ZX2

    Hey...my gf's sister has an '03 Ford ZX2 and when driving it I could swear that it had some nice low-end tourque...but I figured the Mazda3 s would certainly beat it (we're talking about $12,000 compared to $17,000 and the 3 is supposed to be pretty quick) but then I looked at some specs and it...
