Actually, 2.3L for a four banger is pretty big - needlessly big, I'd say. I'm rather surprised Mazda would use such an engine - maybe something developed for their Ford parent?
Still, I quite like the new Mazda 3's. Good entry level car.

Still puts it near the top end of 4 cylinder engine sizes, which surprises me somewhat.
And Volvo must be strapping a turbocharger on it, I'm guessing. The current S40 has a 1.9L turbo that puts out 170 hp. I don't think they'll be putting in a less powerful engine into the new one.

Get a VW Jetta TDI. Diesel isn't always the easiest to find, but man those cars get amazing milage. They managed to fix most of the annoying bugs associated with diesel too - although they still have noticably less power than they're gas counterparts (not nearly as bad as it used to be, though).
