| The 2014 Mazda3 goes on sale in September of this year. |
What is it?
You'll have to forgive Mazda for tooting its own horn, but the company claims it “revitalized” the compact car segment back in 2003 when the first Mazda3 was introduced, a shark amongst beige Civic and Corolla minnows. We personally think the Ford Focus revitalized the segment earlier, and the Shelby Omni GLHS before that, but that's another story for another time. Nevertheless, Mazda's great lil' 3 has always been a darling of the C-Segment class, since it's at least somewhat involving to drive. (See our Mazdaspeed 3 review notes for a torrid example of the model.)
