2011 MAZDA3

MAZDA3. COMPROMISE: ZERO.

Welcome to the 2011 MAZDA3. The choice that tells the world you’re not the least bit willing to water down your convictions. One that says you’d sooner take a taxi than settle for a car that didn’t deliver real driving exhilaration. And makes very clear your refusal to banish the word “more” from your vocabulary. We understand. You see, we build cars for people like you. Which is why we make sure that every car bearing the Mazda name is infused with innovative design, insightful engineering, spirited performance and impeccable craftsmanship. And why we always will. Zoom-Zoom.

A lot of performance for a little unleaded. Performance, meet fuel efficiency. Fuel effienciency, meet performance. It’s the ultimate win-win. No matter which advanced-design engine powers your 2011 Mazda3, you’ll enjoy both spirited performance and great fuel economy. The Mazda3 GX and GS models feature a responsive 148-hp, 2.0 L engine that delivers a pump-friendly 5.9 L/100 km highway and 8.1 L/100 km city†. And the Mazda3 GT kicks in with a potent, higher-output 167-hp, 2.5 L engine that combines top-shelf performance with excellent fuel economy. We can’t think of two more exhilarating ways to make every drop of fuel count. And all without sacrificing a single drop of adrenaline.

Sumptuous, exquisite and other unexpected adjectives will come to mind. The elegant interior refinements in the new Mazda3 might well inspire the kind of superlatives normally associated with pricey luxury cars. Available with the Luxury Package on the GS and standard on the GT, for example, meticulously stitched leather accents grace the high-bolstered sport seats, steering wheel and even the shifter. Graceful, sweeping lines, superb detailing and subtle textures come together with uncompromising fit and finish. And excellence. And distinction. And so forth. Actually, there are quite a few words that describe the level of craftsmanship you’ll find throughout the new Mazda3. Just maybe not the ones you expected.
