One of two automatics or a manual transmission can be installed. Competitors include the Honda Accord and Toyota Camry.
Other changes for 2008 include a newly standard tire pressure monitoring system, a Bose stereo for Touring trim levels, and 17-inch alloy wheels on the i Sport edition. The high-performance Mazdaspeed6 is no longer offered.
