2005 Mazda MAZDA3 New Car Buyer's Guide

New Car Buyer's Guide  » Mazda  » 2005 MAZDA3   What's New for the 2005 Mazda 3? Because it was all-new last year, changes for the 2005 Mazda 3 are rather limited. A new 15-inch wheel cover design debuts, and an optional satellite radio-ready audio system is available. Mid-year, Mazda rolled out the SP23 Edition, with a special saddle-colored leather interior, premium sound, high-gloss 17-inch wheels, rain-sensing wipers, and automatic headlights. The Mazda 3 SP23 Edition is painted Carbon Gray Mica and is available as a sedan or a hatchback. Advantages of the 2005 Mazda 3: Available in hatchback or sedan configuration Premium-class features on an economy-class car PZEV engine rating in some states Incredibly fun to drive Comfortable for four adults Objections to the 2005 Mazda 3: Fully optioned this compact runs well over $20,000 Dearth of low-end torque Black interiors are dour and claustrophobic Editor's Advice: Conventional wisdom states that compact economy cars satisfy a need rather than a want; you get one because you require basic transportation and monthly payments that don't break the bank. However, the 2005 Mazda 3 may be the car that you might actually want just because it's fun and useful.
