6. Mazda Mazda 3

Economical, fuel efficient, and fun to drive, the Mazda 3 is a great choice for a family vehicle. Available as a sedan or a four door hatchback, the Mazda 3 has a 155 horsepower 2.0 liter four-cylinder engine. A six-speed manual is standard, with a six-speed automatic offered as an option. The Mazda 3 gets an EPA estimated 26 mpg city and 35 mpg highway, which is higher than many others in its class. Cargo space is plentiful in both models, but the hatchback has a bit more space than the sedan. The suspension is tuned to be sporty, allowing the Mazda 3 to handle winding roads with ease. Traction control and Stability control are standard, giving the Madza 3 tight handling even in inclimate weather.
