2006 Mazda MAZDA3 Hatchback

Every once in a blue moon, a car comes along that redefines its segment. The Mazda3 is just such a car, usurping styling and features once reserved for more expensive cars and incorporating them into a hot compact sedan and hatchback. The Mazda3's talents don't stop with its good looks and impressive content. Blessed with a powerful yet fuel efficient engine and athletic handling worthy of Mazda's 'Zoom-Zoom' tag-line, the Mazda3 offers something for everyone at a price no one can argue.
