Used 2012 Mazda Mazda3 Grand Touring

The 2012 Mazda Mazda3 i Grand Touring is a compelling option in the compact car segment, offering a rare blend of sharp handling, upscale features, and excellent fuel efficiency. Mazda in this model year introduced its SkyActiv-G 2.0-liter engine for the i Touring and i Grand Touring trims, which boosts torque, smooths out performance, and improves highway mileage notably. The car feels lively in everyday driving situations, with responsive steering, decent cornering stability, and fewer compromises in ride comfort than many sport-oriented compacts. Inside, the Grand Touring stands out within its class: leather-trimmed seating surfaces, heated front seats, a power driver’s seat, and a power moonroof all contribute to a premium sense. The Bose ten-speaker Centerpoint audio system paired with full-color navigation and a multi-information display make the interior feel well-equipped. Materials are good though not luxurious; fit and finish are solid. Visibility is excellent, and the cabin is pleasantly quiet at the cruising speeds.
