If value is at the top of your shopping list, the MAZDA3 i 4-Door belongs there, too. Outside, refined exterior styling touches include body-colored mirrors, body-side moldings and door handles. And inside, accommodations include seating for five. A tilt and telescopic steering wheel with audio controls for the 4-speaker AM/FM/CD stereo. Even a lockable 60/40 split fold-down rear seatback. For spirited performance, there's a more powerful 150-hp, 16-valve, 2.0-liter engine with variable valve timing plus slick-shifting 5-speed manual gearbox that deliver a frugal 28 MPG City 35 MPG Highway. It's a beautiful way to make both your paychecks and fill-ups go farther. No wonder the MAZDA3 was voted Americas Best Economy Car two years in a row (7/4/05 7/5/04) by the readers of AutoWeek. *145 hp in CA, MA, ME, NY and VT. EPA estimated fuel economy. Actual results may vary.
