They are in different classes of vehicles. One a coupe, the other a 4-door sedan. One has "sports-coupe" dynamics the other "sports-sedan" dynamics. The Mazda 3 is by no means ugly. But taste varies from person to person so thats not the issue. Mazda has HID's,more room, and yes Mazda does have reliability. Althought its a Ford basically at the same time remember its also a Volvo.
$20K for the fully-loaded 3 is only very very slightly overpriced IMO.
