The 3 is the car I would take in this class. The Cruze wouldn't even get a second look, let alone a wait.
I agree I love the Mazda3 it is not overstated or understated IMO it is a compulation of fine crisp lines and sculpted edges that flow freely throughout the design and the overall execution blends well from front to rear. Even the large fender flares in the front (which were a huge gamble) seems tol integrate well into the facade. The Cruze looks clumsy and cheap externally to me and it's more obvious when this car is pictured in white.
