This Year's Model Updates:
For the 2012 Mazda 3, a newly optional 2.0-liter engine debuts and it delivers both more horsepower and higher fuel economy than last year's 2.0-liter engine. (The old 2.0-liter as well as the 2.5-liter engine is still available.) This year also brings several new trim levels, expanded availability of the hatchback body style, slight revisions to exterior and interior styling, and additional standard equipment for most trim levels.
Pros:
- Stylish, well-equipped interior
- Extra utility of four-door hatchback.
- High fuel economy with optional 2.0-liter engine
- Precise handling
- Impressive list of luxury options
Cons:
- Ride might be too firm for some
- Cabin and trunk not as large as those of competitors.
