3. 2012 Mazda3 Sport
MSRP $16,895
This ride is on the higher side of our $20k budget, but in our minds, it's well worth the investment. The 2012 Mazda3 Sport GX is a good looking, well built, fun-to-drive vehicle that will see you through your college years and into your first few years of work. That's the beauty of a Mazda; it grows with you. This isn't just a micromini back-to-school college car you'll want to ditch the moment you “grow up,” this car will evolve when you do.
