Toyota Matrix XRS vs Mazda 3 Hatchback

I am going to buy a new car in the next month or so and I'm very unsure of what to do. My wife has some requirements that are really limiting my options:

Automatic transmission
Engine must take regular gas (87 octane i think)
4-door
Reliable
no more than 25,000

My requirements: Fast and sporty handling

I think the 2009 toyota matrix XRS and the 2008 Mazda 3 grand touring hatchback are good options but what do you guys think? Is there a faster car out there. What should I do??????

p.s. By fast I mean 0-60, top speed doesn't matter to me

Re: Toyota Matrix XRS vs Mazda 3 Hatchback

have you considered the Mazda6 sedan or the Saturn Aura? My cousin has had her Aura for just over a year and she loves it. The V6 is smooth and plenty of power and no major reliability issues.

I too hate the looks of the new matrix. It makes me throw up on myself.
