In addition to the SKYACTIV technology, which Mazda says the automatic version will "deliver a direct shift feel similar to a manual transmission", the 2012 Mazda 3 gets an updated exterior, including redesigned headlights and a slightly different grill which will make the exuberance of the car's trademark grin less accentuated. The rear end designs of both the hatch and the 4-door will get some subtle redesigns, as well.
"At some point we're going to have to give Mazda3 a lifetime achievement award for its unequaled streak of appearances on our annual list of coolest cars. For the 8th year in a row-every year of the car's existence, in fact-the Mazda3 has earned a spot on our list for its standout sheet metal, excellent interior and exceptional driving dynamics", Said Jack R. Nerad of JD Power and Associates about the Mazda3.
Fuel economy is boosted significantly thanks to the new tech, and you'll discover the 2012 Mazda 3 is more bold and expressive than ever before, and it delivers a more sophisticated look and massive curb appeal.
