We know. Gas is $2.50 a gallon, which means you're not interested in fuel economy.

We know. Gas is $2.50 a gallon, which means you're not interested in fuel economy. But you will be. As our job market recovers, it's almost a given that oil prices will too. Perhaps more importantly, the newly boosted CAFE requirements virtually guarantee that automakers will be trying to sell you smaller, more efficient cars.

2010 Mazda 3 5-Door Grand Touring - Mazda 5 Door Hatchback Review - Automobile Magazine
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. I can't think of a better example of a small car that feels just as solid and rewarding as a "real" car. Of course, the last Mazda 3 was also terrific, so it's not surprising that the 2010 Mazda 3 is so delightful.
