As individuals and families alike look toward the compact car segment, they do so to derive a significant fuel economy value. Both Mazda3 and Ford Focus are capable of delivering that value, but only one does so through standardly included equipment. This is one of the most important things that drivers comparing the 2014 Mazda3 vs. 2014 Ford Focus should keep an eye on.
With an entry level model that includes a 2.0L, four-cylinder SkyActiv engine, the 2014 Mazda3 is capable of returning up to 41 highway mpg through either a manual or automatic transmission.
