    "Mazda 3 adds a performance model and is available with traction/antiskid control for 2007. These 4-dr sedans and 4-dr hatchbacks come in Sport, Touring, and Grand Touring trim, and are joined by a MazdaSpeed hatchback for '07"Consumer Guide AutoConsumer Guide: 2008 Mazda 3 (July 31, 2008)

    No other car in the segment provides as much performance and driving fun for the money. Even the base Mazda 3 comes with a stout engine and a surprisingly sophisticated suspension and interior. But since even the entry-level car has been tuned toward the zoom-zoom side, some buyers might find the Mazda 3's ride a bit too firm -- a small compromise for the car's impressive handling characteristics."EdmundsEdmunds: Mazda 3 Review

    "The Mazda 3 and the Mazdaspeed 3 are firm favorites with Car and Driver editors. The Mazda 3 finished second in our roundup of subcompact family cars. The Mazdaspeed 3 has been on the 10Best Cars list for two straight years, as well as winning our last comparison test of sub-$25,000 performance sedans and hatchbacks"—Car and DriverCar and Driver: 2008 Mazda 3 and MazdaSpeed 3 Review
