The MAZDA3 4-door is precisely what you'd expect from Mazda. The roomy 4-door includes a vigorous, 148 HP, 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine or 2.3L DOHC four-cylinder with 156 HP and premium suspension for speedy drive that's as fast as it is smooth. Plus the lightweight construction and state-of-the-art safety technology help you - and your wild side - arrive unharmed.

The standard five-speed manual transmission enables the smooth, quick-throw, Zoom-Zoom shifting Mazda vehicles are famous for. The available five-speed Sport AT automatic transmission adjusts shifting logic according to operator's driving style. A separate shift gate allows quick, smooth sequential manual shifting. The MacPherson strut design is sport-tuned and has springs mounted on an off-set angle from the shocks to reduce friction from lateral forces. The E-type multilink rear suspension provides better control in the corners, with several links to control wheel position and isolate springs from the shocks.
