Best Small And Mid-sized Cars In Australia

Remember when gas used to cost less than a dollar

? In those days, it would have made sense to own large gas guzzling vehicles. It is not so much the case today, where people need to travel longer distances for work and trying to keep a full tank of gas for at least a day is near impossible. There is a growing trend in consumers purchasing more economical cars to save money and better the environment. Compact and mid-sized cars that may not have been very popular decades ago are starting to lead the way in motor sales.

Mazda 3

During its debut, the Mazda 3 caught the eyes of many potential buyers with its sporty packaging at the most affordable price. Originally the smallest of the Mazda line, it was replaced as a compact car by the Mazda 2. With the Mazda 3 model, it only gets better every year. The 2010 model was drastically changed from previous ones, featuring a completely redesigned body and a unique grille. Ask anyone who owns a Mazda 3 and they can attest that it is possibly the best mid-sized car on the market right now.
