Mazda 3 is more of a car for a bachelor. It also I think a gas guzzler. I am looking a conservative family compact sedan. That is why I am considering the three models. Which has more room at the back?

I have been reading about the rattling problems and stereo problems of the Altis. While for the Sentra I am looking at the GX problems especially on the suspension.

Other problems I might consider? How about the Lancer, I have not yet read a thread of what problems it might have.
