2. The Mazda 3 has for many years been one of the
best compact cars for those who enjoy the driving
experience; now for 2014 it's been completely
redesigned, with refined styling, more features, and
higher fuel efficiency that should, in theory, make
this a far more popular pick than before.
That's the hope; although the svelte, almost sexy
proportions that the new Mazda3 has been given—
those of a rear-wheel-drive car, really (yes, it's still a
front-driver)—do end up compromising interior
space. Provided you don't have very high
expectations for back-seat comfort or cargo
space—or want best-in-class ride comfort and
cabin quiet—the Mazda 3 should stay on your
list, as it's one of the best entries in the compact
segment.

5. The 2014 Mazda 3 is a standout, in terms of styling
and design, and its long hood and ‘cab-back’ design
really cast it in a different light compared to most
other compact cars. Adopting the automaker's Kodo
"soul of motion" design language, first seen on the
CX-5 crossover and Mazda6 mid-size sedan
launched over the past two years, the Mazda 3
loses the creepy smile of the previous-generation
car (or was that a smirk; we never quite knew) and
takes on the brand's new blunt nose and five-point
grille leading into thin, slanted, swept-back
headlamps. A sweeping shoulder line slows
gracefully along the body side and a more
slanted, fastback roofline on the hatchback ends in
what we see as a somewhat softer, less distinctive
rear-end treatment.

8. At its best, this combination of the aggressive front
grile, crisp edges, and gentle curves, and hunkeredback cabin altogether makes the car look taut and
sports-car influenced. At its worst, the Mazda 3
looks a little long-hooded—as if the hoodline of the
Mazda 6 sedan had been grafted to the front of
what’s otherwise a smaller car.
The entire structure of the new Mazda 3 has been
designed around the SkyActiv four-cylinder engine,
which Mazda began launching in 2012 models. This
highly efficient four-cylinder engine uses high
compression, carefully tuned exhaust systems, and
other refinements to provide power while extracting
maximum efficiency from every drop of fuel without
the added complication of hybrid systems.
