Other Choices

More Info

Why should I also consider these? X

The 2010 Mazda3 has plenty of competition, but the editors from TheCarConnection.com chose these based on size, refinement, and sportiness.

Ford’s Focus is a solid choice but doesn’t offer the refinement of the Mazda3 or the availability of high-end options.

It beats the Mazda3 in fuel economy and for the convenience of a Ford dealer in every town.

The Honda Civic is likely to be the most cross-shopped with the Mazda3, and if you want a coupe, it will win out, as Mazda doesn’t offer one.

The Toyota Corolla was all-new for 2009, and while it is available in a sporty XRS package, it doesn’t compare to the Mazda3 in styling or driving fun.

If price and warranty are your primary concerns, the Hyundai Elantra continues to evolve into an attractive alternative, though it's less entertaining to drive.
