The all new, next-generation Mazda3. Fresh from its first full revision in five years, this exhilarating 2012 model builds on the successful foundation of its predecessor while pushing the Zoom-Zoom driving experience to new limits.The new Mazda3 showcases a styling direction that will eventually spread to the entire Mazda lineup, Laurens van den Acker, Mazda's design chief has said.

Mazda 3 Features

The 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine delivers 148 horsepower at 6500 rpm and 135 pound-feet of torque at 4,500 rpm. Aluminum block and head construction saves weight, while dual overhead camshafts improve efficiency and performance.

The braking system has been improved with a new vacuum booster that provides a more responsive feel to light pedal efforts.

Five- and six-speed manual transmission are available, as is a five-speed automatic with an optional Sport-AT manual shift mode. Fuel economy for the 2.0-liter is estimated a 25 mpg in the city for manual transmission and 24 mpg with the automatic. Highway mileage with the 2.0-liter engine is 33 mpg with either transmission. The 2.5-liter model delivers 21 mpg with the manual gearbox, and 22 mpg with the automatic. Highway consumption is rated at 29 mpg with either transmission.

Inside, like outside, the new Mazda3 is evolutionary, rather than revolutionary. A wrap-around dash top, similar to that used on the Honda Civic, contains radio and climate control information, as well as a small optional navigation screen. The luxury quota is way up - Mazda says that it wanted to give buyers a reason to step out of larger, less efficient cars into the 3, so it upped content substantially. Class-first features like driver's seat memory, steering-linked Xenon headlamps and dual-zone automatic climate control are all optional on the 3.
