Tuesday, August 7, 2012 New on Autos.ca Comparison Test: Compact Cars 2.0 In the spring we performed a mammoth nine-vehicle Compact Car Comparison Test. In that field of vehicles, the 2012 Chevrolet Cruze LT Turbo squeaked out a narrow victory over the 2012 Mazda3 GS-Sky. As can be expected, debates got pretty heated in our online Autos.ca forum as to why other vehicles should have won, didn't win, and why did our test not include X car equipped with Y trim. Once the dust settled, we landed on the notion that a rematch between the Mazda3 and Chevrolet Cruze was needed, but not until a new player came along to vie for the crown. Cue the 2013 Hyundai Elantra GT.
