Test drive the 2019 Mazda3 at Boucher Mazda in Racine WI

Subtly but surely, the 2019 Mazda3 can take care of business in ways that are more convenient (and, dare we say, sleeker) than its Honda counterpart. It’s much more powerful, for starters, and brings a smooth-shifting automatic transmission to the fold that combines with a premium All-Wheel Drive system to give you maximum handling in any condition; that’s something you just won’t find on the Civic.

The 2019 Mazda3 also has your comfort as a top priority, as its driver-oriented design (including a head-up display, leather seating, and MAZDA CONNECT™ infotainment system) can offer a more personal experience than the Civic whenever you’re behind the wheel. Plus, with exclusive driver assistance technologies like Traffic Sign Recognition, the choice is clear – the Mazda3 is perfect for anyone.
