@RFresh41 actually, just like the video said. all the mazda really has going for it is that its fun to drive. from experience i can tell you that mazda has some of the worst rusting vehicles ever. they use very little anti-corrosive.
I love alot about this car..... but that front end NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO..... that is just HIDEOUS!!!! WTF was Mazda thinking???? That dorky-azz smile completely ruins it! No self respecting hetero male will want to be seen in a car with a dorky clown smile on the front of it LOL! I wonder if that smile could be painted the same colour as the rest of the car as a possible fix? I won't even consider this car until Mazda kills that rediculous front end.
The base model in Europe is a 1.6, the largest a 2.3.... Makes you wonder why the US can't manage smaller engines, since the 2.3 turbo is faster than the 2.5.
"The base model in Europe is a 1.6, the largest a 2.3.... Makes you wonder why the US can't manage smaller engines"
That's because europe has small roads, far more traffic, and you rarely have the need to jump on a highway going 70mph. Majority of Americans jump on the freeway and a 1.6L lawn mower engine would take us 5 minutes to get to 60mph.
No shit a 2.3L turbo is faster than a N/A 2.5.
Since there isn't a large difference in mpg, I'll take the 2.5 with better torque.
I gotta say, the exterior is growing on me. Yes, the front grille looks like a big, gaping, toothless, smiling mouth, but it's kind of endearing and fun. Minus that, the rest of the cars lines are very nice, organic and expressive.
looks like its yelling aaaaahhhhhhhh this is fun!!
Really a dumb move Mazda. Looks like an amusement part ride now. You could call it the MazdaspeedMax with 500hp V8 AWD that gets 100mpg for 20k and I'd still pass.
i actually like the front look, it'll make fun of other drivers on the road hahahha....!!

I love how Americans see 2.5L engines as "Small". Over here in the UK, that's waaaaaaaaaaaay above average; I drive a 1.6 ffs :(
It's an Alfa though, so at least it sounds nice ;)
