Test drive the 2018 Mazda3 in Thousand Oaks CA

Though the Focus is slightly less expensive, it doesn’t come with nearly the amount technological and interior amenities that the Mazda3 comes with. Other base features found on all 2018 Mazda3 models include MAZDA CONNECT™ infotainment, cloth-trimmed sport seats, remote keyless entry, smart city brake support, dual USB inputs, and a push-button start. The base Sport features a SKYACTIV®-G 155-horsepower, 2.0-liter DOHC 16-valve 4-cylinder engine with variable valve timing. If you want to up the horsepower, you can do so by opting for the Touring or Grand Touring trims. They both come with a 2.5-liter, 184-horsepower SKYACTIV®-G DOHC 16-valve I4 engine. And, as noted above, the Mazda3 fuel economy can average into the upper 30s on the highway.
