Sharp styling and road-hugging handling are standard, as is a long list of uncommon options such as DVD navigation and Bose audio. If you’re searching for maximum passenger space, the Mazda3’s rear-seat legroom won’t impress. Though no wimp, the 2.3-liter engine can’t compete with the high-powered turbocharged engines from Subaru, Volkswagen and MINI. A significant improvement for 2007 is that Dynamic Stability Control with Traction Control is now standard on all five-door models and all four-door s models, which is to say, all with the 2.3-liter engine. In addition, there has been a major front-end freshening across the line. New features include a rear-seat center armrest with built-in cup holders, an audio auxiliary input jack and an additional 12-volt power outlet. It’s now three years into the compact Mazda3’s model run, and Mazda still can’t keep up with demand. The Mazda3 continues to attract buyers, due to its attractive styling, impressive array of standard and optional features, good fuel economy and sporty handling. Few economy cars have enough style to sit beside an Audi A3 and look right at home, yet the Mazda3 can do just that, and its starting price just a little over $14,000 places it within reach of most compact car buyers. The Mazda3 is available in two body styles, with the four-door sedan offering two four-cylinder engine choices: A 2.0-liter or 2.3-liter. The five-door hatchback is available only with the larger engine. Both models are wildly popular with drivers young and old, poking a big hole in the commonly-held belief that Americans won’t buy hatchbacks. 2007 MAZDA MAZDA3 pricing starts at $3,905 for the MAZDA3 i Sport Sedan 4D, which had a starting MSRP of $15,255 when new. The range-topping 2007 MAZDA3 MAZDASPEED3 Grand Touring Hatchback 4D starts at $5,345 today, originally priced from $24,515. The Kelley Blue Book Fair Purchase Price for any individual used vehicle can vary greatly according to mileage, condition, location, and other factors. The prices here reflect what buyers are currently paying for used 2007 MAZDA MAZDA3 models in typical condition when purchasing from a dealership. These prices are updated weekly. We found the Mazda3’s handling to be simply superb, with incredibly tight steering that responds instantaneously to input. As we joyfully wound our way over a serpentine road, we were instantly reminded of other great compacts that evoked the same emotional response. Even though the Mazda3 is a front-wheel-drive car, it exhibits very little torque steer. The secret ingredient for a faster, more thrilling Mazda3 is the 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine of the s trim level. Though it has only 12 more horsepower than the 2.0-liter, the 2.3’s low-end torque helps the Mazda3 accelerate effortlessly. The optional automatic transmission features a quick shift from first to second gear for a faster response, making even steep hills no threat to rapid acceleration. You can shop this segment until the cows come home and not find as handsome an interior as in the Mazda3. A racy three-pod instrument cluster, red dash lighting and long list of standard and optional features make the Mazda3 feel like a high-priced sports sedan. Front-seat occupants will find head- and legroom generous, although the passenger’s seat does not offer lumbar support, nor is it height-adjustable. The five-door model allows you to lug around bulky items that would not easily fit in the sedan’s trunk. Two features missing from an otherwise well-planned interior are a remote hatch release switch and a retained power feature, the latter necessary to operate the power windows after the key is removed from the ignition. The Mazda3’s scorching exterior could easily have been penned by BMW or Alfa Romeo. The strong lines denote its performance abilities and look particularly attractive on the sporty five-door hatchback. A new front end features a revised grille and headlamp treatment with a large rectangular air intake and, on s trims, integrated rectangular fog lights. Sadly, heated exterior mirrors are still not available. The s model’s sporty 17-inch five-spoke wheel is replaced this year by a multi-spoke design that mimics the wheels found on the new CX-7 crossover SUV. While they look good, the pattern is not as aggressive as the old wheel. DVD-Based Navigation Unit Hatchback The entry-level Mazda3 i features a 2.0-liter engine, five-speed manual transmission, four-wheel disc brakes, dual remote-control mirrors, AM/FM stereo with CD, cloth bucket seats, tilt/telescopic steering wheel, tachometer, intermittent wipers and 15-inch wheels. The s five-door hatchback includes a 2.3-liter engine, air conditioning, illuminated remote keyless entry, fog lights, dual power mirrors, power locks, power windows, cruise control, leather-wrapped steering wheel and 17-inch alloy wheels. And all versions with the 2.3-liter engine have Dynamic Stability Control with Traction Control as standard equipment. Options include a power moonroof, Bose audio, six-disc MP3/CD changer, 17-inch alloy wheels (Grand Touring), heated leather seats, five-speed automatic transmission, anti-lock brakes (ABS), remote engine start (automatic models only), front-side and front/rear side-curtain airbags, auto-dimming rearview mirror with compass and a DVD-based navigation system. The base 2.0-liter engine works just fine in this car, competing with similarly-sized engines from Ford, Toyota, Honda and Kia. Performance driving requires the larger 2.3-liter engine, which offers more low-end torque but also consumes more fuel. A new five-speed automatic with manual shift control is available only with the 2.3-liter engine. 2.0-liter in-line 4 2.3-liter in-line 4 Lease a new 2025 MAZDA3 Hatchback 2.5 S (FWD / Automatic Transmission) for $359 per month for 36 months with $2,499 due at signing.
