Hey everyone. I'm replacing my 06 Corolla S 5 speed that I've had for 12 years. I'm not very familiar with mazda but a hobby dealer recently told me of the compact cars the Mazda3 is favorite to drive. Considering another corolla, a civic and maybe even subaru WRX as well (all in manual trans). But I would love to hear from you all why you love your mazda3 and from your experienced perspectives what years and trims should I be focused on? Generally speaking I'm thinking something 2016 to 2021 but i don't anything about generations or trim packages. I very much appreciate your input.
