2014 Mazda 3

[bronsin]

Mazda is a very competent car company and will give Toyota a run for its money if they continue to make cars with leaky water pumps.

What we need are iQ/Smart size cars that get 50+ mpg not diesels and hybrids.

The first car company to figure that out will make a lot of money.

But first consumers need to figure it out.

Very few want a micro car. There's no money in it for companies to build them. iQ and Smart barely sell. Even the Yaris is now barely selling. Everyone realizes you can get a regular gas compact that gets 40 MPG now so why buy a tiny car that doesn't do any better?
