I have notified the Agents of the typo and they will change the title of this post or post the correctly-spelled article shortly.

Apologies for the error.

I'd choose the Mazda 3 sedan. Gorgeously designed inside and out, and cheaper than the A3.

I wish it had a ZF 9-speed auto. It's a lot of money for a turbo with a "Lurch-Box"(dual clutch auto). Colors are limited and dreadful also.

Just saw my second one parked today (first one was on the road). And just like the first one I saw, it elicited absolutely zero on the interesting scale. It looks chubby and stubby and not much different than a Jetta or Passat. I even drove around it to get a really good look and it was seriously just blah.
