Shitty economy cars for NPCs that are wowed by the supposed "premium" interior while getting mogged by Civics and Corollas that don't have a solid axle in the rear. "But the turbo model!" some might say, but for what those cost (since you're forced to load it with packages, auto only for the turbo as well as well) you can get a manual WRX.
The previous-gen Mazda3 was amazing, on the other hand. Mazda has essentially been dead since they killed off Mazdaspeed.
