Default Stupid question

Was looking at stepping into a 2018 mazda 3 seems like a decent daily driver. Part that’s throwing me off is car I’m looking at tomorrow is posted as a 2018 but from what I can google kinda looks like a 2014 interior vin pulls 2018 like I said just throw off with the interior. Was wondering if anyone can give an opinion. https://www.teamchevybuickgmc.com/VehicleDetails/used-2018-Mazda-Mazda3_4_Door-Sport-HUNTINGDON-PA/5482234200

2018 should be the older BN chassis ( pretty much 2014 shape) 2019 would be the newer BP chassis

I would struggle to find differences between the 2014 and 2018. The 2019 is completely different.

For what it is worth, the 2018 is the best year, in my opinion, for a sporty driving sedan. I have a 2015 and 2019. The current generation got too soft and fancy.

Thanks. I bite the bullet and bought it. It’s a fun car to drive and was in great shape. I really like the fact that it’s simple it doesn’t have the touch screen and no electronics that are not needed. Thanks for your input guys.

Congratulations. I think you will find that all the electronics and safety features are there, they are just not in your face like a video game like in so many new cars today. Mazda was serious about making their cars drivers cars and their best effort was the last of the third generation in 2018.

Enjoy your new Mazda.
