The Mazda3 was redesigned for the first time in 2010, and it's offered in sedan or four-door hatchback models. Its styling is even more curvy than the previous model, and it features a large grille that makes it appear as if the car is smiling. Competitors include the Honda Civic, Ford Focus and Nissan Sentra.
