Like its predecessor, the new 3 clearly ranks at the top of the small-car category, especially when fun is factored in.
Wow, what a great little hatch. This 2.5-liter I-4 pulls very well from idle to fuel cut, and the six-speed manual transmission is superb.

Of course, the last Mazda 3 was also terrific, so it's not surprising that the 2010 Mazda 3 is so delightful.
