As much as technology advances daily, certain things are worth being left as is—and the manual transmission in the Mazda3 is one of them. In the latest Mazda3 hatchback or Mazda3 sedan, you can experience the best of both worlds with some of the most innovative features inside a new model while having the ability to take more control of your drive with a stick shift. See what else there is to be excited about.
More than a Century in the Making
First appearing in the late1800s, having a manual transmission was pretty much the standard on most vehicles. Fast-forward to today’s era, it’s an automatic transmission that will help shift most modern street-legal cars in America into the next gear. Unless you’re a fan of a track, you’ll mainly see cars, trucks, and SUVs going from areas such as Syracuse to Clay, NY, using an automatic mode of transportation.
Manual Transmissions Aren’t Just for the Tracks
If you want more control over your engine performance, you’re in luck. A six-speed manual transmission is available on the new Mazda3 Hatchback with the 2.5 S Premium FWD trim. This model has a SKYACTIV®-G 2.5 DOHC four-cylinder engine with 191 horsepower and 186 pound-feet of torque. With an EPA estimate of 36 mpg on the highway, the 2025 Mazda3 Hatchback will take you from North Syracuse to Liverpool, NY, along I-90 and back a few times on a gallon. In addition to having more power over your engine performance, the latest Mazda3 Hatchback gives you added control with innovative features such as Alexa Built-in, Mazda Connected Services, i-Activsense® safety technology, and more.
