Mazda's best selling car, the Mazda 3 has gone through a major revision of the interior and exterior. Mazda is also bringing back the Mazdaspeed 3 - the hot hatch that continually is ranked as the best low cost speedy hatchback sold in America.

Mazda has done a good job of redesigning the Mazda 3 to be more efficient, better performing, and more comfortable. Two engines are offered for the Mazda 3, a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that delivers 148 horsepower at 6500 rpm and 135 pound-feet of torque at 4,500 rpm.

The Mazda 3 will also be available with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that is borrowed from the new Mazda6. It features 167 horsepower at 6000 rpm and 168 pound-feet of torque at 4000 rpm. Both 5 speed and 6 speed manuals are available. A 5 speed automatic is also offered.

Mazda has a lot riding on this New 3, and we think it will pay off!
