Honestly i never drove a Mazada...I am done with Nissan. so have no idea about Mazada.... Where do you rate Mazada? or how do you Rank Mazada ? between a Honda and Toyota.
After I had test-driven all five vehicles, I felt the Mazda3 had the edge, especially for the price.
The problem with the Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla is that they both come with anemic 1.8 liter engines--to get the larger engines, you'd have to move into the higher trim levels which then push the price above US$20,000. Most of their lower trim lines also came with steel wheels (ugh!) and rear drum brakes (ugh!).
The '09 Sentra comes with a 2.0 liter engine. But, made in Mexico (ugh!).
The Impreza is a great car to drive, but its AWD extracts in penalty in fuel consumption, averaging only 22 mpg (ugh!). -

I've owned only Nissans since my college days, but I've found they generally don't hold up well to the winter driving conditions here in the midwest.

"Liquid Silver Metallic."
I did test-drive an Impreza, but for some reason, the Subaru dealers here don't seem to want to dicker on the price, and the AWD system extracts a pretty hefty penalty on fuel consumption.

Thanks! Actually, the Mazda3 will be pulling "summer car" duties and be garaged during winter. My previous summer car, an '02 Sentra Spec-V, will now be my year-round car.
