    I’ll throw in a vote for Mazda. I’ve had a 6 and a 3 and enjoyed both. Very, very few real problems. They’re a little zippier than average Toyotas/Hondas with a little cooler styling, in my opinion, while not being extravagantly expensive.

      I’ve got a Mazda3 hatch (2022, carbon edition) and it’s one of my favorite things. The interior and exterior both are stylish and feel very upscale; imo more so than comparable Toyotas and Hondas (my girlfriend bought a Camry the same year I bought my car so I’ve got a good point of comparison).

        Nice, I used to not really like hatchbacks, but I’m driving the sedan and catch myself eyeing the hatchback version every time I see one. It’s got great curves.

          It’s got a large booty, whether you think that looks good or not isn’t on me. I personally think it flows really nicely! And it fits a surprising amount of stuff in it

      100% agree on the Mazda 3. I have a 2016 3 sport and I’m still in love with it. My next car will probably be the 2023 or 2024 Mazda 3 turbo depending on the type of deal I can get with a used one. In the entire time I’ve owned this car it has given me less problems than even the 2008 Toyota Yaris I had before it did, and I still thought that little guy was reliable. I’ll stan Mazda all day now. If I didn’t live in the north east, I’d get a MX-5 today… and hell I’m still tempted even though it would not be a “great” idea.
