I love the design of this new mazda3 , those who talk about the front as a huge horrible smile have a either a lot of imagination or a corolla in the garage... I have a mazda 3 2011 sport in red and it looks AWESOME (plus the 2.5L engine!!! that also rocks)
Did mazda copied from hyundai? the smiling face is a bit similar to hyundai iflow.mazda is coyping from hyundai.what is going on in automobile industry?
lots of people hate the way the new front end looks. i don't think it looks to bad. granted mazda could have made it look better but the new front end was designed for better aerodynamics and more efficient cooling
your totally right, however mazda owners tend to care more about performance than minor styling details though. im not crazy about the front end, but alot of people like it alot. all presonal preferrence.
This model is so much nicer looking then the previous models. I had a chance to compare the 2 right next to each other. I could have bought either one. I bought the 2010 because it was so much more modern looking, inside and out. It's not that the older model looked bad, It's just that the new model looked that much better.
ACTUALLY, our sales are up. At least at our dealership. We have actually had a better response to the vehicle overall with the new style. Personally i like the previous year design, but just a personal preference.
This new mazda 3 is more japanese looking then the previous european look the mazda 3 had. That's the difference. It's nicer, the interior is outstanding. You have to see it.
The front end to me is ok, more of Peugeot 206, but backend sucks!!! The current 2008's tail light shape is more modern, cleaner, even though it's around for years, and you know it's a Mazda 3 when you see one. The new tail light has no character, too busy, and girly.
unfortunatelley, they messed up the cool design of current mazda 3..i was waiting for the new version of the 3 but really disappointed and am pissed off..mazda lost one customer
I have a 2008 Mazda3 Maxx Sport Sedan and I honestly think that mine looks alot better then the shape of this new 2009 model. The whole front end just looks crap! The 3's smile is absolutley shocking! The 2006-2008 models are the best looking ones in my opinion.
OMG They made this car look SOOOOOOOOO CHESSY.I currently have a 2004 3 and this new model makes me want to get rid of mine its so dissapointing. It looks like something barbie would drive..and whats with that "happy gril"?! I like a more aggressive look and it doesnt even look like itd be fun to mod like the current 3's...BAD DESIGN MAZDA
don't get rid of your 2004 mazda3 dude, be glad you have a much better looking mazda3 than this one. the 1st generation 3, up to the 2008 will be the classics.
it looks like a fish or something with its lower lip hangin but still cool. i love mazda 3 but this new one .... i m not so sure of. the engines r both good. some say its only 160 lb of torque but its enough and its good fuel economy.
Don't like the front end it makes that car look nose heavy. It just looks like they stuck a new front and rear on the old car. Gave it 7 hp more on the GT and carried the 148 2.3 ltr ove to the base and GS models.ZZZZ ZZZZ
This is a nice car. I like how Mazda is daring enough to actually use characteristics from their concept cars.Other manufacturers play it safe every 5 years making small changes and saying it is a new car. This car will be the best in the class again.
