2015 Mazda Mazda3

The optional 2.5-liter engine is now available with a six-speed manual transmission.

Available as a four-door sedan or hatchback, the Mazda3 starts out with a 2-liter four-cylinder that's good for 155 horsepower. The 2-liter delivers above-average acceleration for this class and outstanding highway fuel economy of 41 mpg. The available 2.5-liter four-cylinder provides a boost to 184 horsepower for even snappier performance with just a slight loss in efficiency. Both engines come with a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission.

Models with the base engine are designated 3i, while 3s models get the 2.5-liter:

3i SV

Comes with all the basics like power window and locks, a four-speaker sound system, a folding rear seat and 16-inch steel wheels. The 3i SV is available as a sedan only, while all other models also come in hatchback form.
