2010 Mazda 3 at L.A. Auto Show - Car and Driver

[murphypeter7]

I have the 2.5 saloon, and I love it. It's so much fun to drive, has a real quality interior and whether it looks like is smiling or snarling I dig the exterior as well.

Agent 47 on Mazda 3!!!

[jackncokeryan]

i'm hoping to buy one sometime soon. Test drove one and I definately didn't want to get out. Seats aren't uncomfy. Buttons on steering wheel are sooo convenient. Then again I'm goin from a 93 silverado to this, but it still feels like driving "piloting" a freaken space ship.

[youidiot11]

lol me to

[andairwaves]

I like the smiling front.

[Smokie181]

I dont like the look of the new mazda. I dont like the 'smile' on the front and the back lights dont give me any hype. I drive a 2008.5 Mazda 3 GS and am glad that I went with that model...I was going to wait for this one but glad I didnt. However I hear the new model - well obviously and should - drive a little better. But for me I want a car that is appealing to me.

But the dual exhaust looks hawt, I like that!!

Mazda is a very reliable and definitely a well made car. Gotta ♥ Japan

[hpmccracken]

i'm actually buying this car tomorrow. many have talked about the front being ugly but when you see it in person it doesn't look nearly as bad. plus, i'm getting the black which makes the grill blend in more and it just looks hard.

[wingy999]

The saloon looks better than the hatch in my opion. when viewing the back from straight on it looks flat and slab like. The rear lights on the saloon are better as well. Other than that i like it and the front doesnt look too bad. should of put some led lights by fog lights like the new citroen ds3, made the grill smaller and it would of been perfect.

the interior is spot on in my opinion and looks gorgeous at night...lots of Gadgets

[Marker323]

the 5-door looks sooo much better.

[lestatmx]

Mazda + Seat + Lanzer = Madza 2010

[snacks2181]

I think the 2009 mazda 6 and 2010 mazda 3 are fugly. Thumbs down Mazda!

[bigg512]

It's actually the best looking Mazda to come out.

[GILZUR]

the interior design looks very ugly.

[19nachito87]

thats the best part

[loopba]

Not liking the new interior...bodywork looks great except for that stupid grin on the front

[Herman04091985]

bingo!!

[davidd2005]

Maybe they will fix the grill, in any case there should be a mod to fix that grill. This car looks like a Lexus IS 250

[dangster350]

its a happy car!!! not a sporty car!

[ClanDemented]

OK! so how is this fuel efficient? Great job Mazda. No1 will buy it!!

[yanzodadon]

they need to change the front grill upside down so it looks mean and not goofy

[imhungry493]

i couldnt agree more i was worried that id be jelous when seeing the new design but i hate the smiley face on the front.... every1 who looks in the rear view mirror goes oh how cute... witch makes me happy to have an 08 :)

[yanzodadon]

oh i'd still buy it but throw me a body kit on it asap. they need to turn that smile upside down so it looks mean!

[iTzMattz]

CX7 interior...sort of

[paulstewartcrane]

I'm a Mazda fan But this is a Pig.Factnot Fiction. The Nose/Snout/Fascia is Horrible. A Silk Purse out of a Swines Hide it is Not. It may partially work on the 6,partially !!! Ford dump it ASAP, get any funds out while you can.

[davidd2005]

What would it look like with a rear spolier?Will it have all wheel drive?

How about a Mazdaspeed 3 Sedan without a hatchback?

[vanquish421]

Read their article on their website. No AWD will be available and the Mazdaspeed3 will continue to be a hatchback only. As with nearly all economy sedans, it would look stupid with a spoiler and would serve no practical purpose.

[dethklok107]

everything looks cool other then the side, it looks plain

[CSIS25]

good job mazda i really like this one :)

[Fredolow]

Very plain, and the front is hideous

[DisorderlyKonduct08]

the front of that car is pretty ugly...but the rest is alrite.

[stuntmanssp]

my mom has an 08 mazda 3. i dont like the front of this car

[svingt]

was just at the LA autoshow, that car is even happier in person. =D

[burnoutnt]

dont like the front and the small back seats, other than that looks good.

[TheJabHattEnt]

I love this car, it is almost perfect.

Small, affordable, upscale interior, nice clean interior layout, not button busy, beautiful lights (and even LEDs). Maybe they should just make the grille smaller, not so wide and big. They should stop it where the headlights meet the bumper. Other than that, PERFECT.

[ReSanSax]

Awesome little car.

[Cnev3ts]

This is a happy looking car

[seroyer2]

extremely happy you could never be sad in this car; because it is so happy. in fact it does not know what sad is it is so happy.

[tristantao]

lol
