f you're not driving a Mazda 3 hatchback, you might as well start building a cuckold shed. Interior is sleek, the panel isn't crowded with retarded shit. Comfy seating. Better acceleration than most other cars in its class (zoom zoom faggot). I average about 35 mpg driving around the city, 40 on the interstate going 75 mph, and up to 45 mpg if I'm going 60 mph on older highways. Plenty of room to haul shit around in the back. The backseat folds down completely flat, not leaving behind that faggot 4-6 inch ledge some seats do. It also drives well, feels good on the road, not a bunch of play in the steering wheel. The pricing is competitive as well.
It's cheap, performs well, drives well, is fuel efficient, and doesn't look like turds like most other hatchbacks. It's literally the best car for most people's needs.
Mazda's target audience is young drivers who appreciate great design, maneuvrability, sportiness, practicallity and great all around usage. Either that or single moms with SUVs. They don't need useless muh luckshury segment. Thats why mazda is a based car company, being loyal to their clients. Not to mentiom the best selling cheap roadster is still being produced to this day with very few changes yet unforgettable 90s soul
Go fuck yourslef.

I need all 4 wheels to have power to them because if I don't I'm afraid my car will slide off the dry road in the middle of summer. >ohhh boi but when I get that .5" of snow my all seasons act so weird

Is there anything worse than fwdfags?

Yeah, people who argue about drivetrains without realizing that all three have their merits.

Mazda seats are among the most uncomfortable seats I've been in and the fuel consumption is disappointing as well. But I am gonna get an old 323 with 160000 miles on it so I do sorta like them.

>Mazda is the best car brand. No. They've made some good stuff over the years but apart from the Miata ND their entire current lineup is soulless underpowered econoboxes

You busriders were too poor to buy them, so Mazda stopped bothering, once Mazda realized there's no money in the NEET demographic.

Both sides gained something, though. >Ford got Mazda's engine and rebadged it for EcoBoostâ„¢ >Mazda could now work with FCA (Abarth 124) and GM (Isuzu still working on the BT50)

It's like the front is literally photoshopped to be 20% larger. What the hell is that horrendous blob. Btw that car also drives like shit I had the displeasure of testing one and my 92 Camry drove better. Nissan a shit.

I'm unironically thinking of buying a mazda 3 sedan. How fucked am I?
Jayden Moore
It's not a meme. It's probably the best choice in sedan that you can buy atm. >why no hatch though? >what engine/trans?
Zachary Long
>why no hatch though? I just honestly think the sedan looks much better even though I know the hatch is more practical. Still haven't decided yet though, I've driven the hatch and gonna drive the sedan next week.
>what engine/trans? I live in cuck country so only 2.0 120hp for me, not sure if auto or manual yet. In my current shitbox I like manual shifting, but in all the new cars I've driven it's just so boring since everything is so quiet you don't feel engaged in the driving.
Joseph Sullivan
I have one, it's a pretty good car, it's just not very fast in a straight line, and the stock LCD tach isn't very good for manual shifting so I'm going look into alternatives. I hope one day I can swap a CX-5 drivetrain into it, because a mazda 3 with 200 hp and AWD would be really something.
Levi Jones
Fair enough. Body style is all preference at the end of the day. (I will cri if u get sedan)
If you can only get the 2.0 I would definitely get the manual. The auto WILL feel slow after a couple months. The 2.0 manual will feel pretty decent as long as you play super eurobeat whenever you are driving.
Report back after you test drive user!
Ryan Cox
It's not coming to America is it :(
Jose Peterson
Living in EU, the 2.2 MZR-CD is a pretty good engine on the Mazda 3.
6L /100Km, 185hp and 400NM of torque. Sharp direction, low gravity center, and if you're 2 meters tall, you can still fit in the driver's seat.
You just have to change the injector seals 'cause the stock ones could potentially leak and badly fuck up your engine. But it's a great car.
If you know how to drive a manual.
Brody Lewis
I have one. It's great, I'm happy - but it's hardly the epitome of automotive development.
I'd say the Skyactiv engines finally fixed Mazda's history of terrible mileage. My 2002 Miata gets like... 22mpg for all of 142 hp. That's in the past, though.
They improved their galvanization process in 2008. I don't know how well it's worked; I don't live in a rusty area.
Camden Allen
Why should I get the hatch over the sedan? I can't think of any reason other than it being easier to fit big things into the back of the car. I have a hatch now, and while it has been useful I think I have only used it's capabilities a handful of times the 3 years I've owned it.
I was leaning towards getting a manual before I actually tried an auto. The main issue for me is that I have fucking long legs and mazda don't offer seat-extender/angle adjustment on mazda 3. In the auto I could put the seat so the strain on my foot/leg wasn't too bad, but it might not work in a manual because of pedal placement.
I'll report if the thread is still up, or maybe I'll make a new thread. This is the first time I'm buying a new car and I want to make sure I make the right choice.
Hudson Bell
>fwd >calls anything else a cuckshed
Get fucked you retard. And here's your thrice daily reminder that turbo fours are for gays.
Michael Green
No, that's the only reason to get a hatch over the sedan. Unlike the first two generations, I'd say the sedan looks at least as good now. I have a hatch, and I think it's a little noisier.
I have short legs and find the pedal heights annoying in the manual version. But between the seat and steering wheel adjustment I'd be surprised if you couldn't find a good position. Be sure to try a higher-trim model with power seats.
Hudson Ross
I don't think there's room for the driveshaft and rear diff.
