The sedan and hatchback duo has returned to our area of the Bay State for a new model year, and it's already proven its status as one of the most fuel-economical and fun-to-drive cars in its compact class. Discover a favorite among commuters, weekend warriors, and lovers of the road trip alike right here at Patrick Mazda in Worcester, MA!
Step into the driver's seat of a base trim, and the feel of the car's standard 2.0-liter, four-cylinder SKYACTIV®-G engine becomes palpable. It comes ready to dish out 155 horsepower backed by 150 pound-feet of torque, not to mention with standard SKYACTIV-VEHICLE DYNAMICS with G-Vectoring Control for cornering like a pro. Get behind the wheel in Mazda3 Touring and later, however, and you can enjoy the pep of a 2.5-liter variant pushing 185 pound-feet with 184 horses under the hood. Opt for a SKYACTIV®-MT six-speed manual transmission if you prefer hands-on engagement. Otherwise, there's a SKYACTIV®-DRIVE six-speed auto available -- a smooth operator for the ease-of-use crowd. Expect superb fuel economy, too. Mazda3 can get up to an EPA-estimated 28 mpg city, 37 mpg highway, and 31 mpg combined.
