Mazda3 Giving Dynamics and Strength
Known in Japan as the Axela, the Mazda3 is assembled and crafted
by the Mazda Motor Corporation. The vehicle is actually based on
Ford's global C1 Platform that was developed by Volvo and was
shared with the latest European Ford Focus and Volvo S40. Mazda
carried out the vehicle's chassis development, however, when it
came to its suspension, this part was done by Ford.
In the United States, the Mazda3 is made available in two trim
levels - the "i" and the "s". The "i" has a 2.0 liter engine,

remote keyless entry, height-adjustable driver's seat, power
windows, door looks and mirrors. The sedan under the "s" trim
has a crisper handling with its larger tires. The Mazda3 is
actually powered by an assortment of vehicles because it all
depends on the market. The engine used in Japan is different
from that used in the United States, and of course in Europe.
Rolling off the assembly line, the Mazda3 rolled into view on
December 8, 2003. What is standard for all trim levels is that
each has a five-speed manual transmission. However, optional is
