Mazda has made some impressively sporty cars throughout the years. Case in point, the Mazda MX-5 is a lightweight roadster with some stellar specifications. However, for potential buyers looking for a Mazda with a little more everyday practicality, the Mazda 3 Sport is worth a look. Since its introduction in 2003, the Mazda 3 has become the automobile manufacturer’s fastest-selling vehicle. And the Mazda 3 Sport trim is undoubtedly one of the most popular options for drivers.
The Mazda 3 versus the Mazda 3-Sport
There is some confusion around Mazda’s badges for the Mazda 3. Between international markets and varying options, the Mazda 3 has many titles. In Canada, the breakdown is simple. The Mazda 3 is the title given to the four-door fastback sedan. Meanwhile, the five-door hatchback has been granted the badge of Mazda 3 Sport. This has remained the case for all four of the Mazda 3’s unique generational redesigns. Between 2007 and 2013, Mazda released a performance-enhanced version of the Mazda 3 Sport called the Mazdaspeed 3.
Consider the Mazda 3-Sport generations
The Mazda 3 Sport has survived through four generations. The first generation, released between 2003 and 2007, is an impressive car that helped put the vehicle on the map. With tons of features and zippy power, drivers considered this a keen ride. The second-generation Mazda 3 Sport has been the best-selling version of the vehicle to date. The 2013 third generation introduced the vehicle's first hybrid/electric options and the latest fourth-generation model released in 2019 made waves with a new spark-controlled compression ignition engine.
