2006 4dr Hatch 160-horsepower 2.3L I4
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 being a hatchback, I was able to take my wife and son and all of his college gear (pretty much a full load) and still get 31.5 MPG. Around town it typically gets 25 to 27 which is acceptable for the type of driving I do see full Mazda Mazda3 review

2006 Mazda Mazda3 Real Gas Mileage: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2007 4dr Sedan 156-horsepower 2.3L I4
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 Again, not bad. I average 26 mpg around my suburban town. Still not as good as the Civic. see full Mazda Mazda3 review
2007 4dr Hatch turbocharged 263hp 2.3L I4
6-speed manual FWD		 21 average gets expensive. But again, performance has its price. see full Mazda Mazda3 review
2007 4dr Hatch 156-horsepower 2.3L I4
5-speed manual FWD		 I have a very heavy foot and 90% of my driving is around town. I am getting about 24 mpg on average which is underwhelming. Having said that I only averaged 27 mpg on a 92 Civic with a 1.5L motor. I have a gift for getting poor mileage with any car. see full Mazda Mazda3 review
2007 4dr Hatch 156-horsepower 2.3L I4
5-speed manual FWD		 lower than others in the class, but, a price you pay for the added performance. I would not trade that, but, it would be nice if they could keep the performance and improve mileage. if mileage is a major issue for you, this might bug you. see full Mazda Mazda3 review
2006 4dr Hatch 160-horsepower 2.3L I4
5-speed manual FWD		 It is on the low side; granted, the engine has a good amount of torque. see full Mazda Mazda3 review
2006 4dr Hatch 160-horsepower 2.3L I4
5-speed manual FWD		 I typically get around 25 mpg, though it might be improving. Will see on an upcoming trip. see full Mazda Mazda3 review
2006 4dr Hatch 160-horsepower 2.3L I4
5-speed manual FWD		 No where close to what they claim in mileage see full Mazda Mazda3 review
2006 4dr Hatch 160-horsepower 2.3L I4
5-speed manual FWD		 Sub par for the segment driving under mixed city/highway conditions. Really tanks in the winter. see full Mazda Mazda3 review
2006 4dr Hatch 160-horsepower 2.3L I4
5-speed manual FWD		 The city mpg is only 20 and that is driving conservatively. see full Mazda Mazda3 review
2005 4dr Sedan 160-horsepower 2.3L I4
4-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 Not the best for a small sedan. Expect only 24-25 in the city, no better than 30mpg on the freeway. Geared for acceleration so the engine turns at high rpm in city traffic (nearly 2500 rpm), and on the freeway at 70mph the engine is over 3k rpm. see full Mazda Mazda3 review
