Considering its limited product line and lower volumes, Mazda's showing is great. I think Mazda is one of the makers that has had a good amount of mentions on the 10 Best list. I think Honda and BMW are the top 2.
Too bad the newest MS3 is not as good as it could be.
The GTI has gone through a renaissance and seems to be placing on the list every year lately.

Momentum Keeps Me Going
It's predicatable but still high praise for Mazda's DNA. Kuddos!
The MX-5 styling has been morphed into an mini RX-8 (thankfully) with really no competition in the segment anymore .... and after all isn't the MS/MS3 duo THE standard bearer for hot hatches these days? Absolutely since Subies have fallen to the Toyota syndrome.
Just my opinion, if Mazda had an engine worthy of the R-8s handling prowess, it 'could have been' (sigh..) a contender, but it's a dead horse now. Mazda's into the eco MX-2 thing nowadays, and that could be a winner next year.

in order to qualify the car either had to be new or had to been a 10 best winner the year before. the rx-8 won 10 best 3 years in a row already. you can pretty much count on the miata always (or almost always) being on the list; it's such an excellent car, if i didn't want/have the 8, i'd get a miata. the ms3 is nice. mazda really is pretty awesome these days. the other day i went to wander around dealer lots and drooled over the ms3 and miata on the lot. on the honda lot there was really just nothing remotely interesting, just automotive appliances
