If you’re seeking a compact sedan or hatchback with fun driving manners, great fuel economy, and class-above looks and features, the Mazda3 is an excellent choice. That Mazda’s compact car starts under $18,000 and retains its value very well is icing on the cake.
If roominess and comfort are priorities, you may be happier in a Chevy Cruze or Nissan Sentra. Buyers needing all-wheel drive should look to a Subaru Impreza, while alt-fuel fans should check out the Honda Civic (available in hybrid or compressed natural gas form) or Volkswagen Jetta (diesel or hybrid).
