Choices was: 2010 Mazda 3, 2009 Honda Civic/ Fit, Toyota Matrix

I jst bought the new Mazda 3 and i really like the handling, the style and the price! But one thing that crossed my mind which is "WHY IS MAZDA NOT THAT POPULAR?" it is a great car and all! I did a pretty good research before buying it and Mazda 3 specs are better than Toyotas and Hondas offers and Mazda has a really great price! BUT one thing i forgot to check is that maintenance and all that long term stuff! i asked around and they said that to put it simply MAZDA SUCKS... they said that the best cars are toyotas and hondas because of great maintenance and all that! but i also thought about the two other car brands before purchasing, i thought that toyota was overpriced even though the specs are not that great, their price are sometimes higher than that of Honda who offers a lil better specs. Honda on the other hand, as i heard is that it is a great car but others say that Honda has higher possibility of being stolen even some pple i know complain about their insurance coz of this! so can you give me your opinions on this? i already like the specs my Mazda has so i dnt care if you want to comment on this but i want to know how bad is the maintenance, and all that stuff compared to toyota and honda? also consider insurance, reputation, flaws, life span, etc. how much will it cost me?

and lastly, what would u prefer new 2009 Honda civic/ fit, 2009 toyota matrix, 2010 Mazda 3- considering the specs and the long term effects? and why?
also consider resale value coz i kept hearing different opinions but even the edmunds agreed that Mazda has a good resale value

ohh and i saw this one review about mazda 2006 and 2 pple really experinced horribly with Mazda 3 but one of them said that the 2007 model is a lot better accroding to pple she knew, is it possible that year- make made a difference?
