The Mazda's interior is businesslike
The Mazda's interior is businesslike
Welcome to a Medical Battery specialist of the TSI Battery
Among the growing plethora of compact hatchbacks, the Volkswagen Golf is the endurance champ, now more than 40 years old over seven generations. While the Mazda 3 is only on its third generation, Mazda has sold other small hatchbacks, so both are contenders of long standing on the sporty end of the small-car scale.
You'll immediately recognize the VW Golf, whose shape remains true to its upright origins as the 1974 VW Rabbit. It's a handsome, rectilinear hatchback, slightly larger than previous generations and better integrated than the model it succeeded. The Mazda 3 is far swoopier, with a long hood and a "cab-back" style that truncates the cabin and makes its proportions distinct from any other small car with battery such as Li202SX Battery, Li202SX-6600 Battery, Li202SX-66C Battery, Li202SX-7200 Battery, Li202SX-7800 Battery, Li202SX-78C Battery, TSI 8240 Battery, TSI 9130 Battery, TSI 9550 Battery, TSI 9510BD Battery, TSI AEROTRAK APC 9510-02 Battery, Zoncare BAT-120003 Battery.
There's also a Mazda 3 sedan, but it competes with the Volkswagen Jetta; the Golf is only sold as a hatchback.
Inside, the Volkswagen is evolutionary, with the addition of a touchscreen display in the upper center of its dashboard. It's brighter looking and more airy, and silver accents make it less grim than previous base models' largely black interiors. The Mazda's interior is businesslike but slightly more stylish, with a large, colorful, high-contrast freestanding screen protruding from the top of the dash, a la Mercedes-Benz.
The main challenge for Mazda buyers is cabin space. It's spacious in front, and the seats are supportive and comfortable. But back-seat room is among the tightest, with little legroom or headroom. The Volkswagen Golf, on the other hand, can accommodate four adults in relative comfort. Mazda may feel that the 3 will only be used by couples, or couples with small children, but it's impractical if you need to carry four adults for any distance.
The Mazda 3 comes with either a 2.0-liter version of its engine rated at 155 horsepower, or a more powerful 2.5-liter version that puts out 184 hp. Each is available with a six-speed manual gearbox or a six-speed automatic transmission. The entire structure of the Mazda 3 has been designed around these SkyActiv engines, with more length from the front wheels to the firewall housing a complex exhaust system that vastly improves efficiency. EPA combined ratings are 29 to 33 mpg, depending on powertrain, both laudable for a sporty compact hatchback and likely to be confirmed by real-world use.
The VW Golf TSI gets a 1.8-liter turbocharged four with 170 horsepower that's more fuel-efficient than the base engine in previous Golfs. (For 2016, a smaller 1.4-liter turbo four is coming, with better numbers yet.) But if you’re really looking for fuel economy, the Golf TDI diesel is the way to go. Its 2.0-liter turbodiesel four is rated at 150 horsepower--and in real-world testing, we've already observed fuel economy in the high 40s. Like most small diesels, the Golf TDI should comfortably beat its EPA ratings under most driving conditions.
