Mazda 3 / Axela (BK)
Compact SedanProduct Gallery
Product Overview
Mazda 3 / Axela (code BK) is an affordable compact sedan in production from 2003 to 2009. It is available with a range of inline-4 engines that displaced 1.6 to 2.0 liters.
The original Mazda 3 is limited to inline-4, which at the time without turbos were truly lethargic. The diesels were mostly Euro 3, which meant that they put out a lot of soot as the driver accelerated.
A plus is the vehicle's small 10.3m (33.8ft) turning circle.
