Top 5: Affordable cars

Brian Cooley runs down a list of the top five CNET-rated affordable cars.

Mazda has been really nailing their cars as of late. It's such a shame that they don't sell as well here in the U.S. They deserve far more credit than the public gives them.

Awwww come on video editor of Cnet the audio is off. Your Cnet for gosh sakes.

The Mazda3 has a cool looking exterior. Love its shape.

[jjmisclove]

Brian Cooley is one of CNET's best!!

[vaajchang]

Two mazdas made it to top 5. Says a lot about what mazda's been doing.

[choobplaya]

[Angle_]

Awesome, I am aiming at Mazda 3 for a month now. Sedan.

[CZARNYEU]

Interesting list. Unfortunately, on other continents, the price of these cars are often quite different ...

[devinconlon]

Awww... I was hoping the Hyundai Veloster turbo would be on this list. Maby next time...

He said AFFORDABLE not RELIABLE!!! Fiesta was rated the worst car in Consumer Reports for reliability of Ford vehicles. The ONLY Ford Consumer Reports had listed for RELIABLE American Cars was the Fusion and even then I have seen the same problems on them as my Focus. Don't get me started on my 2012 Focus DCT Transmission with one recall after another and "customer satisfaction" letters without doing another "recall".

Now that's more like it.

Now if you could do a Top 5 of the best cabin tech for cars under $30K.

I would have to go for the GTI. It does cost more but the performance and the driving dynamics are far superior than many other cars for the price in my opinion. It's well worth it.

You guys in America get a 4 door Fiesta ST, we only get the 2 door in Australia. *jealous*

My 2015 Mazda sTouring gets many compliments. Mazda has really come out strong with the KODO design. However I would like to see a better power train. Maybe a 2.0 liter twin scrolled turbo with 220 bores power? Or the 2.2 liter twin turbo diesel actually come to the U.S.
