The Mazda3 has been highly acclaimed as a compact sport sedan for good reason. A combination of nimble handling and sporty looks ensures that owners need make no apologies for their choice. Mazda3 sedans are equipped with a 148-bhp 2.0L I-4 or an optional 2.5L I-4.

What Changed:

Mazda's compact Mazda3 enters 2010 with all-new exterior and interior styling. Although the platform is the same size as the previous model, the restyled exterior is about 3 inches longer. The 2.0L four cylinder base engine carries over for use in the sedan's i trim level. Upper trim level sedans equip a new 2.5L four-cylinder engine that produces more power than last year's 2.3L.
