What do YOU think compares?
When looking at the 3 before I purchased, I looked at a lot of websites and comparisons, etc. and wondered why some cars are considered "competitors" to the 3 that are either a) out of the price range or b) performance does not compare.
What cars would YOU compare to the Mazda 3?
Here's what I seriously looked at before I bought my lovely Mazda:
Scion Tc
MINI Cooper-S
(I don't miss either of them)

The cars in the same class as the 3 are as follows....Ford Focus, Nissan Sentra, Chevy Cobalt, Toyota Corolla, Honda Civic, Suzuki Aerio, Hyundai Elantra, Kia Spectra, Dodge Neon, Saturn Ion, Pontiac Sunfire...may have left out 1 or 2....Which car out performs the 3s on the list ?? Dodge SRT-4, Cobalt SS, and Ion Redline...all forced induction and all quite a decent amount higher priced. PLus this is just pure acceleration, not handling

when we were doing the research on ours, the toyota matrix and pontiac vibe were in the price range but my buddy rented a matrix and it was a dog compared to the 3. very happy with my final decision.

are we doing HONEST comparisons?? The Mazda 3 is in a class MUCH higher than other "entry" econo-cars. I would honestly put the 3S in the Audi, BMW, volvo, Saab, lexus class....It is VERY upscale, very nice, very affordable.

Well, theres alot of cars that are considered in the same class...corolla, civics, etc...however, for the price, i dont think theres a car that compares for under 20,000 dollars. The build quality of the 3 is that of much more expensive cars and the performance is on a whole nother level vs the other "eco" cars. Performance is definetly best in its class for the price and is probably only riveled by the SRT-4 in terms of sheer power...but they drive like crap, rattles everywhere and dont have anywhere near the refined luxury car feel that the 3 posses. This is a true sport compact...not an economy car! I can guarantee that you will not find a nicer, more fun to drive new car than the 3 for under 20,000 dollars.
