Mazda designed its compact MAZDA3 to be fast, sporty, safe, and reliable, and according to many drivers, the automaker succeeded in its goals. For 2007, the MAZDA3 was available in a number of different configurations, including 4-door i and s Models, and a five-door hatchback s Model. In addition, a high-performance MAZDASPEED3 version was introduced for 2007.

The i Models were powered by a 148-horsepower, 2.0-liter double-overhead-cam four-cylinder engine with variable valve timing. The s Models came equipped with a 156-horsepower, 2.3-liter double-overhead-cam four-cylinder engine, also with variable valve timing, while the MAZDASPEED3 was powered by a 263-horsepower, turbocharged 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine.

For all models with the exception of the SPEED3, a five-speed manual overdrive transmission was standard. A four-speed automatic was optional for the i Models, while a five-speed automatic was optional for the s Models. The SPEED3 was equipped with a six-speed manual transmission.

Typical standard features for the MAZDA3 included air conditioning, a center console armrest, a tile/telescopic steering wheel, and dual airbags. Most s Models added cruise control with steering wheel mounted controls, power door locks, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, power windows, a leather-wrapped shift knob, and a satellite radio-compatible audio system.

The MAZDASPEED3 added such features a front-end floating fog lamps, 18-inch wheels, black interior upholstery with red stitching, a firmer suspension, and more muscular, more aerodynamic styling.

I own a Mazda 6, live it. If the Mazda 3 is similar, it is a great value. Apr 10, 2021

Loved driving my 2007 Mazda3 and find it superior - sturdier seats, more leg/headroom, more comfortable back seats, nicer storage, and overall better construction than newer models. Each newer model I drive might have a slight advantage in the sound system, but arent as well made as the 2007.Jul 31, 2020

Low cost of ownership. awesomely reliable. Comfortable, Sporty. Really good storage space for all my stuff. Stability and traction control has helped avoid accidents more times than I care to mention- it can be tough out there. Safe, Side curtain air bags and crumple zones- never used though, nice to know its available.May 05, 2014
