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. All five-door models equip a new 2.5L four-cylinder engine that produces more power than last year's 2.3L. The Mazdaspeed3 has updated styling but retains its powerful 2.3L turbocharged four cylinder. |
