Mazda 121 Engines and Transmissions

A representative Mazda 121 engine choice is the 1.1 MT: a small gasoline unit paired with a manual gearbox driving the front wheels. This kind of powertrain favours modest fuel use and simple upkeep, while the front-wheel-drive layout keeps the car predictable in traffic and easy to park.
