Bottom Line The 2010 Mazda3 engages drivers like few other compact cars, though a little more room and less noise couldn't hurt. The 2008 Ford Focus isn’t all new, but it is an improvement, and a solid choice if you’re looking for a roomy car that handles well with a base price that starts around $15,000.

* Based on data collected from 156,609 classifieds ads
Where do you get these numbers?
We scan classified ads and analyze them to determine which car they relate to.
We combine this data with other sources like a vehicle's MSRP to determine the validity of each calculated price.
We do this over time and save the results so we can show you the second-hand price history of various models.

My car does not have data
For some models we don't have reliable data.
This can happen for various reasons, like we didn't find enough ads, or the price variance was too large.
In such cases, to avoid providing misleading information we don't show that model in the graph.
