    2019 Mazda3 To Begin At $21,895

      It will cost you if you want a manual transmission

    Mazda has some big ambitions with the upcoming 2019 3 and that is reflected in the pricing. The model will now start at $21,895 for the sedan and $24,495 for the hatchback - includes an $895 destination charge. For those keeping track, the 2019 3 sedan is $2,905 more expensive than the 2018 sedan, whereas the 2019 hatchback is $4,255 more than the 2018 model.

    The reason for the higher price tag is due to the 2019 model being only offered with the 2.5L four-cylinder producing 186 horsepower and six-speed automatic. A 2.0L SkyActiv-X compression-ignition engine will be joining the lineup later in the year and possibly help drop the price somewhat. Those wanting a manual will need to pony up $28,395 for the top-line Premium hatchback. It isn't available on the sedan All-wheel drive is optional on the sedan and hatchback, but only with the automatic.

    Standard equipment on the base sedan includes 16-inch wheels, cloth seats, and a 8.8-inch infotainment system. Stepping up to either the Select trim on the sedan or base hatchback will add 18-inch wheels, keyless entry, push-button start, i-Activsense active-safety features, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration. Higher trims add a power driver's seat, heated front seats, Bose audio system, LED lighting, and a heads-up display.

    The 2019 Mazda3 arrives at dealers in March.

    About what a Verano sold for and those actually did pretty well.   It was dumb for Buick to discontinue it when they did.  This new Mazda 3 has a nicer interior than the Verano did, but the top engine in the Verano was much better.

    The Verano was an amazing car. I wish my wife had liked it when we looked at it.

    Buick sold a ton of veranos around here.

    22k is freakin pricey for a compact car. 

    Welcome to the new reality of car pricing. Now that they no longer have to compete with fleet heavy cars like the Cruze and Fiesta that frequently sold for fire sale prices...they will probably get it.

    I plan to look for used Veranos if we look at a third car for my daughter to drive, they may be good buys used [email protected]!

    Conspiracy - It's priced to sell the CX-5 and CX-3, lots of them.

    And anybody who does buy the sedan or hatch tack on the tax for the choice of America and freedom with the newly minted compact car tax.

    Just like the coupe, convertible and the four door coupe tax.

    Still wished that I had gotten the chance to drive the Verano Turbo when it was on sale.

    What they don't tell yet is what will be included as standard equipment in that base price.  My guess is that all the active safety equipment will be standard now, and that alone will raise the price of all the base cars by a few grand at least, not just Mazdas.   In 2006 I bought Mazda 3 hatch manual for $18k and my friend got 2007 Hatch auto fully loaded for under $22k.  My dad got in 2016 Mazda 6 base for $21k.  Today's prices are quite a jump and I don't think it is just inflation or gauging by Mazda.

    And you guys again comparing new car pricing to used, that argument can never be won.  Show me a new car that for that price you can't get something much better used?

    Well, I was comparing the Mazda 3 to the price of a base new Verano from 3 to 4 years ago.  You're right though that a lot of standard safety nannies will be standard on the 3.

    Plus the price of everything is going up....inflation is under reported methinks.

      Watched the MH 370 documentary a few nights ago.  Very interesting story, still so much unknown about the why and what happened....

      (Resharpens knife for next bubble popping)   And "YES" to the rest of your post. I am just tired of the fanboy logic being thrown out there without even a lick of simple research and data to back up said "logic".    For crying out loud, go ahead and price a Chevrolet SS right now. They sold for $50K new and I routinely see those sell for that price with more than 30K miles on them. Lower mile examples go for even more. His logic is easily flushed down the toilet with a simple google search.   Even the Camaro ZL1 has staying power and 20 years from now, it will continue to go higher with the Camaro ceasing production and being a low production trim itself.

      Ford News: Tesla Has Nothing On Ford and their Next Generation Electric Truck-Project T3

      By smk4565 · Posted

      This is good stuff, I am glad Ford is expanding and helping the push to eV, the faster we go all EV and EV costs come down the better.  Also it is good they are investing the education side, because this country as a whole needs more people in Manufacturing, auto repair, auto body repair and trades in general.  We kind of got away from making things here and a lot of the people doing trade jobs are older, once they retire we are screwed if there aren't young people doing it too. 2 million EV's by 2026, Tesla is already there.  GM and Ford will probably have a good battle for #2 EV maker, what I don't see from Ford is the volume vehicles outside of F150, which the Lightning as it now is far outsold by the ICE version.  Mach-E isn't a volume product, Ford needs the $30k Escape EV that can sell huge numbers.  Lincoln is a dead brand, you aren't getting volume there.  Ford could do well with pickups and vans for the commercial market.

      @surreal1272 Common Man, your popping his conspiracy bubble of false narrative about pricing on items that are not Tesla or Mercedes AMG Fan boy crazy prices cause an American Company has built auto's that are collectors items. 🤣 Here is just a portion of what I found in my neck of the woods and I see no price reduction like SMK is saying.
