Why the 2009 Mazda Mazda3?

Handling

Excellent handling around corners - very responsive to the wheel. Gives you a very organic feeling.

Safety & braking

ABS and DSC are available. The braking is excellent. The stopping distance is one of the best in the class, and the car never feels out of control when braking.

Exterior styling

Very distinctive, and a very powerful look. It looks more like a BMW than a Civic/Toyota . This is not to say the car actually looks like a BMW, but it is further along that continuum that most competitors.

Why Not the 2009 Mazda Mazda3?

Depreciation

Worse depreciation and higher premiums than Honda and Toyota. This may change over time (hopefully).
