**2018 Mazda3 Touring Jet Black Mica | Heated Seats | Sporty Value** Some affordable cars feel like appliances. The **Mazda3 has never really been one of them.** This **2018 Mazda3 Touring** is finished in **Jet Black Mica over a Black interior**, has **119,829 miles**, and came to Tuscaloosa Chevrolet on trade when its previous owner purchased a new vehicle. Before being offered for sale, it went through our rigorous pre-owned inspection process. What makes the Mazda3 interesting is that Mazda put some effort into making an everyday compact car actually enjoyable to drive. The steering feels connected, the car sits low and planted, and the clean body lines give it a much sleeker appearance than the traditional economy sedan. And the **Touring** gets the engine we like in this car. Under the hood is Mazdas **2.5L SKYACTIV-G four-cylinder producing 184 horsepower and 185 lb-ft of torque**, paired with a **traditional 6-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive**. In a compact sedan, those numbers are plenty to make the car feel lively, and the 6-speed automatic gives it a more natural driving character than the CVTs found in many competitors. At the same time, it is still sensible enough to deliver approximately **27 MPG city and 36 MPG highway**. So you can have something that feels a little playful on a back road without regretting it every time you stop for gas. The **Touring trim** also brings a surprisingly nice cabin. You get **heated front seats, leatherette-trimmed seating, a power drivers seat, keyless entry and push-button start, Bluetooth, USB connectivity, steering-wheel controls, and Mazdas center infotainment display**. The interior is one of the areas where this Mazda really punches above its class. The low dashboard, driver-focused controls, supportive seating, and simple layout give it a more upscale, almost European feel than you might expect from an affordable compact car. Safety and convenience equipment includes **Blind Spot Monitoring, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, a backup camera, rain-sensing windshield wipers, brake assist, traction control, and stability control**. Those are useful features whether you are navigating a crowded parking lot or spending an afternoon on the highway. Outside, **18-inch alloy wheels and Jet Black Mica paint** work well with the Mazda3s long hood, short rear deck, and flowing body lines. Even years later, this generation still looks sharp because Mazda resisted the temptation to cover it in unnecessary styling tricks. The mileage also creates the value opportunity. Instead of paying late-model money for another anonymous compact sedan, you get the **larger 2.5L engine, heated seats, upscale Touring interior, alloy wheels, excellent highway economy, and a genuinely enjoyable chassis** at a much more approachable point. That is what we like about this Mazda. **It is sensible transportation that refuses to drive like sensible transportation.** Tuscaloosa Chevrolet has been **locally family owned since 2002**, and our sales staff brings more than **275 years of combined automotive experience**. We price aggressively up front because buying a vehicle should be simple and straightforward. Have a trade? A sales manager will work with you in person. Need financing? We work with **more than 20 lenders**. Already have financing you like? That works too. We will also buy your current vehicle directly without requiring a purchase. If you are shopping for a **used Mazda3 in Tuscaloosa, Cottondale, Northport, Moundville, Centreville, Hoover, McCalla, or across West Alabama and eastern Mississippi**, this Touring deserves a closer look. **Come drive it. The fuel economy makes sense on paperthe 2.5L engine, 6-speed automatic, and Mazda handling are what make it more interesting once you leave the parking lot.**
