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. |
