Test-driving drab cars like the Nissan Sentra left her underwhelmed. Then she spotted the Mazda3, a sporty four-cylinder hatchback launched in 2003. You might think of hatchbacks as wheezy econoboxes from the 1970s. But Dekat, 22, a loan processor from Dallas, liked the Mazda's svelte style and pep; she pictured...
