2021 Mazda Mazda3 Turbo

The 2021 Mazda3 is Mazda's compact car, sold as both a sedan and a hatchback, and it competes with the Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla. It drives with a sporty feel that's rare in this class, with sharp steering and a willing character that makes even a commute fun. The cabin is a cut above the competition, with high-quality materials and a clean design that makes it feel more expensive than it is. Back-seat space is tight, so it's best for two adults or a small family, but the hatchback's folding seats add real cargo flexibility. Its 2.5L I4 makes 310 lb-ft of torque from low revs, so it pulls hard out of corners without needing to wind it out. The hatchback body gives you more cargo space than the sedan, and the rear seats fold flat for bulky items.
