The MAZDA3 5-door's 156 horsepower, 2.3-liter DOHC four-cylinder engine performs like a sports car with its stiff aluminum construction, a variable induction system, and Variable Valve Timing to maximize power efficiency. Dual balance shafts provide V6-like smoothness, even at high revs.

An available five-speed Sport AT automatic transmission adjusts shifting logic according to the operator's driving style. And a separate shift gate allows quick, smooth sequential manual shifting. It's called precision.
