MSRP: $13,710
Mazda isn't joking around with its "Zoom-Zoom" campaign. In fact, the Mazda3 proves you don't have to sacrifice a satisfying driving experience or safety or hard-earned cash to enjoy a little fun in a small package. The 3 inherits a legacy of "best picks" and top-of-the-line reliability from its predecessor, the Protege. Not only that, it's built on the same platform as Volvo's baby S40 sedan, bringing with it all the safety you would expect from those engineers. And the interior build quality rivals some entry level luxury cars -- this is what a cabin should look and feel like. All in all, from performance to looks to price, the 3 is an unbeatable small car.
