I like that my Mazda3 gets good gas mileage, is pretty low maintenance, and in my experience, easy to find parking spots for.

This is an amazing car. It was relatively affordable, is great on fuel, and yet still feels sporty. The handling is sharp, and you feel connected to the road. The car accelerates moderately well for a small four-cylinder engine. It gives you a nice push back into your seat. The interior is nice but relatively simple with a clock as the only adornment on the entertainment center, as well as speedometer, tachometer, and fuel and heat gauges. The seats are comfortable but not well bolstered, so when you're going around a corner quickly, you may have to be holding yourself in. The fuel economy is fantastic, making this car affordable to own and run. The paint seems to be kind of thin and has developed chips, but that is to be expected of any car in this price range. This car is reliable, more so than an American sedan of the same price range. It is also cheaper to run and maintain. It's a win to me! The addition of a semi-automatic transmission also makes the car more fun to drive and feels much more sporty and controlled.
