If you’re shopping for an economical small car that can be nicely equipped for around $18,000, check out the 2008 Mazda MAZDA3. Sharp styling and road-hugging handling are standard, as is a long list of uncommon options such as DVD navigation and Bose audio.
If you’re searching for maximum passenger space, the MAZDA3’s rear-seat legroom won’t impress. Though no wimp, the 2.3-liter engine can’t compete with the high-powered turbocharged engines from Subaru, Volkswagen and MINI.
