The Mazda 3 proves that economical, fuel-efficient cars need not be dull to look at or to drive-and these are just a couple of the reasons we named it to our 10Best list for 2016. Available as a sedan or a four-door hatchback, a 155-hp 2.0-liter four-cylinder is standard; a 184-hp 2.5-liter is optional. A six-speed manual is standard while a six-speed automatic is optional. As with any Mazda, the 3 is fun to drive, with peppy performance and alert handling-although road noise can intrude.
