2014 - 2016 MAzda Mazda 3 How to Refill AC system with Freon
2017 - 2018 3rd Gen (BM/BN) Facelift
2014 - 2016 3rd Gen (BM/BN)
Pros
The Mazda3 is like that beautiful person who also happens to be smart, charming and fun. We suggest getting to know that kind of person at a dinner party the same way we recommend putting the Mazda3 at the top of your small-car consideration list.
Cons
No car has everything. As much as we endorse this one, you’ll have to look elsewhere if you want all-wheel drive (think Subaru Impreza), or a hybrid or diesel powertrain (VW Jetta). If rear-seat space is a priority, check out the Corolla or Sentra.
Interior Comfort
The Mazda3’s cabin isn’t the roomiest in the segment, but it’s among the best in layout. The well-shaped front seats keep driver and passenger snug. All models now feature Mazda Connect - a dash-mounted 7-inch touch-screen display and control dial between the front seats. Other dials and buttons for climate and audio are also intuitive and easy to use. Rear-seat legroom is on the low side, but there’s still room for two average-size adults, three in a pinch. All models have 60/40-split-folding rear seats for further versatility. Mazda3 hatchbacks boast over 47 cubic feet of room with seats folded.
Exterior Styling
Whether as a 4-door sedan or 5-door hatchback, the 2016 Mazda3 has knockout styling. The versatile Mazda3 hatchback is especially noteworthy for a design that should win over those who usually don’t equate hatchbacks with beauty. Up front, the Mazda3’s grille replaces the “happy face” seen on the previous generation with a more distinguished character, and repositioned A-pillars improve the driver’s forward sightlines. While the base Mazda3 i Sport Sedan makes do with 16-inch steel wheels, the other 2.0-liter cars feature 16-inch aluminum-alloy alternatives that move to an 18-inch upgrade on the 2.5-liter 3 s models.
Favorite Features
MAZDA CONNECT INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM
Dash-mounted LCD screens with a rotary dial control below have been in luxury cars for years, but now one is in Mazda’s compact car. Collectively called Mazda Connect, the easy-to-learn system controls audio, phone, apps and more. Best of all, it’s standard in the 2016 Mazda3.
ADVANCED SAFETY FEATURES
Other features once reserved for luxury cars that are now in a Mazda3 include blind-spot monitoring and Smart City Brake Support, which can stop the car autonomously to prevent a lower-speed frontal collision if the driver doesn’t apply the brakes.
Standard Features
With the basic i SV sedan gone for 2016, the Mazda3 is now offered in five trims. We applaud Mazda’s decision to make the Mazda3 i Sport the new entry model because it’s surprisingly well-equipped. Standard features include the Mazda Connect infotainment system with 7-inch screen, 6-speaker AM/FM/HD Radio audio with USB input and Bluetooth phone pairing and audio streaming, rearview camera, push-button start and cruise control. If you go one trim higher, the Mazda3 i Touring adds features such as blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, 16-inch aluminum-alloy wheels, halogen fog lights, rain-sensing windshield wipers and premium cloth seating.
Engine & Transmission
The 2016 Mazda3 offers two engine choices, both with a Skyactiv pedigree. The i models use a 2.0-liter inline-4 that makes a healthy 155 horsepower. The 2.5-liter found in all s variants cranks out 184 horsepower. While the 2.0-liter is a capable performer, it trades a measure of enthusiasm for better fuel-economy numbers - 41 mpg highway in the sedan and 40 mpg in the hatchback with either the 6-speed manual or 6-speed automatic transmission. The 2.5-liter won’t stretch a gallon of gasoline quite as far, but notably amps up the car’s sporting character. Manual-transmission lovers will love the fact that Mazda offers an excellent one in both the sedan and hatchback, and with both engines. All Mazda3 models are front-wheel drive.
