2014 MAZDA Mazda3
Expert Analysis
The Mazda3, in my opinion, is a masterclass in crafting a thrilling driving experience. The 2014 Touring/GS trim I had the pleasure of piloting was no exception – its potent 2.0-liter inline-four engine, producing 184 horsepower and 185 lb-ft of torque, made quick work of even the most challenging roads.
As I navigated twisty mountain passes and urban boulevards alike, the Mazda3's precision-tuned suspension and agile handling proved to be a perfect match for its potent powerplant. The six-speed automatic transmission, with its sport mode and manual shift function, added an extra layer of driver engagement to the equation. With each gear change, I felt like I was an integral part of the car's dynamic dance – connected, yet still in control.
Of course, there's more to the Mazda3 than just its driving prowess. The Touring/GS trim level brings a level of prestige and sophistication that belies its affordable price point. The premium interior, complete with leather-trimmed seats and a suite of advanced safety features (including curtain airbags for both rows), exudes a sense of refinement and attention to detail that's hard to find in this class. And yet, despite all these luxuries, the Mazda3 remains a joy to drive – a true masterclass in engineering and design.
