The Mazda3 has been highly acclaimed for good reason. A combination of nimble handling and sporty looks ensures that owners need make no apologies for their choice. The 5-door Mazda3 adds extra room behind the folding rear seats, and the hatch provides easy accessibility to cargo. All 5-door models are powered by a 160-bhp 2.3L I-4, mated to a standard 5-speed manual or automatic. Mazda offers a 222-watt Bose® 6-disc CD audio system and Xenon HID lights as options. An available Appearance Package adds lip spoilers and rear aero flares.

What Changed:

The Mazda3 is subtly refreshed for 2007. An all new performance model, the MAZDASPEED3 joins the lineup. Available only as a 5-door, the MAZDASPEED3 features a 250 hp, 2.3L 4-cylinder engine, 6-speed manual and FWD.
