The Car Connection's Take | |||
TCC Rating | |||
|
|
||
TCC’s Bottom Line | |||
With its new Skyactive powertrains, the 2012 Mazda3 is the eco-conscious choice that sure doesn't drive like one. | The 2012 Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen isn't exactly like its sedan counterpart--it's noticeably smaller but nicer inside. | ||
