Here is a link to a very positive and almost "poetic" review IMO. The reviewer uses the phrase "funk and function yields desire", which describes the Mazda3 perfectly.
There is one mistake though: he says the base engine is a 2.0 liter w/ 140 hp, not 148 hp. Not a biggie but it might go unnoticed by most.
