2019 Toyota Corolla Hatchback Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh The Scion iM / Corolla iM was a decent car that looked sportier than it drove. To address this shortcoming for the Corolla Hatchback, Toyota bumped engine displacement from 1.8 to 2.0 liters and added direct injection. The result: a dramatic increase from 137 to 168 horsepower. The Corolla Hatchback... Comparison vehicle: 2019 Mazda Mazda3 |

Not the car for me... 2012 Mazda Mazda3 Pros and Cons NCDurmguy This car has absolutely no oomph. I've had to modify my driving to accomodate the lack of power. No darting. You need to think in terms of currents in traffic, and try to figure out good flows in order to pass or get along anywhere; you will NOT be able... |

2014 Mazda3 - Mazda adds up-market refinement. It works. 2014 Mazda Mazda3 Pros and Cons acetech09 A few notes about the powertrain: The engines are smooth and have decent power delivery, but are nothing special. This is more evidence of Mazda's attempt to move upmarket. Gone are the days of snappy, revvy Mazda Protoge models. The transmission, however, is very good. When set to 'Sport'... |

2014 Hyundai Elantra GT Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh The 2014 Elantra GT's 173-horsepower 2.0-liter engine is certainly quicker than last year's 148-horsepower 1.8-liter. It's no longer sluggish. But "quick" remains a stretch. The Mazda's 184-horsepower 2.5-liter engine, though it doesn't produce much more peak power (according to the official specs), feels considerably gutsier, partly because it produces an...

2014 Mazda3 s Grand Touring Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh If you're looking for the quickest car in this segment, you're going to want something with a turbocharger. A MazdaSpeed3 will arrive in a few years to take on the Ford Focus ST, Subaru WRX, and Volkswagen GTI. Among compact cars aimed at a broad audience, though, the Mazda3...

2013 Mazda3 Skyactiv Hatchback 2013 Mazda Mazda3 Pros and Cons Member5987 It has more than enough power for my daily driving needs. The transmission is smooth and responsive. |
|
Mazda 3 as good as the reviews, one of the best economy cars. 2013 Mazda Mazda3 Pros and Cons Member4849 Transmission reluctant to downshift (automatic trans) when going uphill; no doubt programmed to get better mileage. Manual trans might have been better choice. Otherwise, auto shifts effortlessly and is totally unobtrusive. Engine feels strong for the most part (standard SkyActive engine). |

Fun to Go 2009 Mazda Mazda3 Pros and Cons Member4934 the power train is what it is all about. after 77,000 miles, it has been flawless and fun. the 1st to 2nd shift is a little grinding in cold weather if you rush it. |

Mazda 3 vs. BMW 1-series 2010 Mazda Mazda3 Pros and Cons Member5601 2.5L non-turbo is fun, but I should have waited for the turbo. |
|
2012 Mazda Mazda3 Pros and Cons Member5577 I'm generally not a fan of auto transmissions, especially on small 4 cylinder engines. After driving both the 6sp M and 6sp A, the auto was the better choice though. Coming from the RX-8, the 3 manual was lacking. The skyactiv auto works as adverti |

2010 Mazda Mazda3 Pros and Cons Member3520 It's no contest. The GTI is much more powerful and the engine smoother overall. |

|
2012 Mazda Mazda3 Pros and Cons Member1348 The motor is strong and the "punch" is there. With 6 gears it lets you cruise in relatively peace when needed too. |
| 2011 Mazda Mazda3 Pros and Cons Member5080 Sweet. sounds great, shifter is amazing. Clutch... everything. Perfect powertrain. |
|
|
2011 Mazda Mazda3 Pros and Cons Member5159 As advertised, power is excellent! I use it as my daily driver and it satisfies the needs for commuting and yet it can accelerate like my 2004 Corvette. |
|
2011 Mazda Mazda3 Pros and Cons A member in Missouri, United States Excellent acceleration and economy balance |
|
2006 Mazda Mazda3 Pros and Cons Member4219 Responsive and peppy. Although 1st and 2nd gear have a slight lag in acceleration, the higher gears have zero problems when responding to full throttle. The Auto-stick transmission shifts well and is smooth as silk. |
|
2010 Mazda Mazda3 Pros and Cons Member4925 Tons of power and torque at almost any speed and in any gear. |
|
2008 Mazda Mazda3 Pros and Cons Bob R Engine surged at low speeds, did not lug well. |
|
2010 Mazda Mazda3 Pros and Cons Member3316 Again, it reacts quickly. It is not that quick imperically, but there is plenty of torque in real world driving conditions (when RPMs are below 3000). |
|
2010 Mazda Mazda3 Pros and Cons Member1724 2.5 engine power is very good and engine is very smooth. |
|
2005 Mazda Mazda3 Pros and Cons Member4528 Nice get-up-and-go for a 4 cyl. and automatic. The 2006 and later models had a 5 speed automatic for the 2.3L engine which should improve things. Nice sound when revved too. |
|
2008 Mazda Mazda3 Pros and Cons Member4055 263 HP TURBO |
|
2010 Mazda Mazda3 Pros and Cons Member4449 Base model has more then enough power and 5 speed auto transmission has little to non-existant shift shock. Very well made and designed. |
