Mazda Mazda3
The Mazda3 continues to be offered as a sedan or hatchback (Sport), with a multitude of trim levels. These start with the base version and its 2.0L engine, and goes all the way up to high-performance MazdaSeed and its 263-hp turbo. New for 2012 is the SKYACTIV version that includes a less fuel-hungry engine and new transmissions. SKYACTIV technology will soon be available on most Mazda models.
