2010 Mazda MAZDA3 :

The 2010 model had to continue to meet and exceed expectations in its class, something that's difficult to do when battling it out for compact supremacy among Toyota Corollas and Honda Civics.

Thankfully, the features that made the original Mazda3 the leader in its segment – an expressive exterior, well-appointed interior and surprisingly engaging driving dynamics – not only carry over for 2010, but have been improved across the board.




Advantages :
* Expressive exterior style
* Quality of interior
* Excellent performance
* Smooth, quiet engines
* Luxury features in an economy car
The Mazda3's crisp, responsive handling and standard anti-lock brakes go a long way toward avoiding a crash. Six standard airbags, active head restraints, and carefully engineered crush zones help you survive an accident when the handling can't help you avoid it. Optional dynamic stability control and traction control are standard on higher-end models of the 2010 Mazda Mazda3 but not offered on base versions, an important omission to note if you're purchasing this car for young adults or first-time drivers.
Pros :

Athletic handling and performance, high-end interior, unparalleled available luxury features, available hatchback utility.

Cons :

Ride may be too firm for some, interior and trunk not as large as those of competitors.


What's New for 2010 :

Although it maintains much of its chassis architecture, the 2010 Mazda 3 is otherwise an all-new car. Highlights include revised exterior styling, improved fuel economy and power, a more modern interior design and new luxury-oriented features.
