The Mazda3 is a compact vehicle that is fun to drive. It owes its peppy performance to its efficient-yet-responsive engines. Through the years, these sedans and hatchbacks have relied on four-cylinder motors.Â
For example, the 2015 Mazda3 GX boasts a 2.0L DOHC I-4 with a six-speed manual transmission. The powertrain provides 155 hp and 150 lb.-ft of torque. A similar engine drives the 2011 Mazda3. You will not have to sacrifice performance if you opt for an earlier model year.Â
New models do offer a slight uptick in horsepower, however. The 2019 Mazda3 uses a 2.5L Skyactiv 1-4 with a six-speed automatic transmission. It produces 186 hp and 186 lb.-ft of torque.Â
