Bay Shore, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/30/2011 -- Long Island dealer, Bright Bay Mazda, is excited to give their customers the opportunity to drive the all-new 2012 Mazda3. The sporty compact sedan shows off a new, more subtle front grille, an advanced new four-cylinder engine, and stylish new interior features.

Many people may have noticed the “smiley face” front-grille on the 2010 and 2011 Mazda3 models. This year, Mazda has taken those jokes seriously and upgraded the exterior body and gave the grille a face lift. The 2012 Mazda3 still remains a basic crescent shape, but the shape is calmer and integrates with the car’s remodeled and more aerodynamic front end.

In addition to the updated exterior of the 2012 Mazda3, the engine has also been given a few improvements. Mazda has equipped additional Mazda3s with the SKYACTIV-G engine. The new 2.0-liter engine has a more sophisticated design with direct fuel injection and a state-of-the-art system to allow optimization of power and fuel efficiency while minimizing exhaust emissions. Mazda enthusiasts who choose a SKYACTIV-G Mazda3 will have blue inserts in their headlamps, rounded fog lamps instead of a rectangular shape, and the SKYACTIV badge on the exterior.

Mazda has done a great job on improving the exterior and overall performance of the Mazda3. In addition, the interior of the 2012 Mazda3 has more black on its dashboard and console surfaces and gets contrasting silver-colored control details. The dashboard’s multi-information display now uses white instead of red text and graphics, and fabric seat patterns are revised.

Car enthusiasts are expecting the 2012 Mazda3 to continue to outsell other expressively styled cars. Now is the time to get behind the wheel of this sporty compact car by visiting Bright Bay Mazda on Long Island in New York and scheduling a test drive.
