What Edmunds.com Says: Already a class favorite, this Protege replacement should bolster Mazda's reputation for building affordable fun-to-drive cars.

What We Know: This replacement for the Protegé will likely debut as a five-door hatch similar to the current Protegé5 before spawning sedan and three-door hatch variants. Shown in concept form at this year's Geneva International Auto Show, the 3 is expected to maintain the Protegé's crisp styling and agile handling along with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine.
