Bracket #3: 2013 Chevrolet Sonic LS Manual Sedan
Bracket #4: 2013 Mazda Mazda3 i Sport MT 4-door

As before, I'm not going to choose any priorities, as I want to get an all-around best car.

The 2013 Hyundai Elantra GLS M/T is the clear winner here, outgunning its opponents in fuel economy, power-to-weight ratio, front passenger space, and a better warranty.  The Subaru Impreza comes in at a distant second, and doesn't have a whole lot to offer, aside from being middling at everything and having the longest range.  As for the Mazda5, while it does have the most power of the three models, it is also substantially heavier and bigger, and its power-to-weight ratio is inferior to the others.  It's one bright spot is increased passenger space, though it really isn't enough to tip the scales in its favor.
