There are all sorts of reasons people drive the cars that they drive and Mazda gives us three good reasons to drive a new 2018 Mazda3:
- Fun to drive.
- Good fuel economy.
- Solid safety ratings.
The fine folks at Edmunds.com said, “The 2018 Mazda3 isn’t the quickest car in its class, but it is the best to drive.”
The whole reason to buy a car is to drive it so, if you are looking at compact cars, looking at the best driving car in the class only makes sense.
Mazda owners love to drive their cars and if you are not a Mazda owner yet then the 2018 Mazda3 is a very good place to start.
The Mazda3 zoomed into 2018 with only subtle exterior modifications, but with new standard equipment and features as well as updated packages. This popular Mazda is still available in two body configurations: a 4-door sedan and a 5-door hatch and each body style is available in several different trims. The sedan is offered in Sport, Touring and Grand Touring while the 5-door hatchback adds a Touring 2.5 as well.
Edmunds.com: “The Mazda3 is a prime example of how a car can be greater than the sum of its parts.”
The Car Connection.com: “The 2018 Mazda3 adds standard active safety features to an already compelling value. Among compact cars, this is one to consider.”
Here are some nuts & bolts information about the 2018 Mazda 3:
- SKYACTIV technology to increase fuel economy.
- The base engine, available on Sport trims, is a 2.0L 4-cylinder unit that makes 155 horsepower and is capable of up to 41 mpg on the highway. It’s connected to either a 6-speed automatic or a 6-speed manual.
- The optional engine, equipped on Touring 2.5 and Grand Touring trims, is a 2.5L 4-cylinder making 184 horsepower. Despite the extra power, the Mazda3 is still able to achieve up to 40 mpg on the highway with the more powerful engine when equipped with Mazda’s i-ELOOP regenerative braking system. This engine, too, is mated to either a 6-speed automatic or 6-speed manual transmission.
- A recent addition to the Mazda3 lineup is G-Vectoring Control, an exclusive technology that uses the engine to refine steering and handling to match driver input.
There is a sliding cover on the center console of the Mazda3 that has a cool, modern look. The sole purpose of the slider is to cover the two cup-holders and maintain the console’s sleek appearance. This kind of detail speaks well of the other details that are not so visible. It all goes to the way the Mazda3 is crafted. You might not find this level of sophistication in a vehicle the costs twice as much as a 2018 Mazda3.
