Cons: Cramped back seat; some complicated controls; top models get pricey[/vc_column_text][mk_divider style=”padding_space” margin_top=”10″ margin_bottom=”10″][vc_column_text]CG Says: The 2020 Mazda 3 gains standard automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning and mitigation, and automatic high-beam headlights for all models. The Mazda 3 was redesigned last year, gaining fresh styling, new technology features, and the availability of all-wheel drive—a rare feature in the compact-car class. The 3 comes as a 4-door sedan or 4-door hatchback. Safety features include a driver-attention monitor and front cross-traffic alert. Other available features include a head-up instrument display and rain-sensing wipers. The sole engine is a 186-horsepower 2.5-liter 4-cylinder. The standard transmission is a 6-speed automatic, with a 6-speed manual available on the front-wheel-drive hatchback. The Mazda 3 aspires to move upmarket and succeeds, while keeping the sporty attitude that has been a Mazda 3 tradition. Prices are on the high end for the class, tight passenger space is a shortcoming, and rear visibility is iffy in the hatchback. However, the long list of available features, sporty-yet-polished driving demeanor, and available all-wheel drive make Mazda 3 a compelling choice.[/vc_column_text][mk_divider style=”padding_space” margin_top=”10″ margin_bottom=”10″][mk_content_box heading=”The Facts”][mk_table el_class=”new-review-specs”]
