Official 2010+ Mazda3 Rollcall

[Cannondale]

Hey Patrick,
Any more pics with the full car and roof rack? I want to see how it looks on the MS3.

Thanks,
Jo.

I don't have any really good shots, but here's what I have.

Personally, I like the way it looks, but when I posted these, I got a comment from someone saying that the roof rack ruins the look of the car. Whatever.

Thanks for posting. I think it looks good. If you ride, you need to carry the bikes somewhere. It think hitch racks just look wrong and ruin handling on FWD cars since all the weight behind the rear wheels reduce tracking. Bikes on the roof have their own downfalls but it just looks better - especially when you have nice rides!!

What I was really wanting to see is if the load bars were level on the car and how the spacing looks with the fixed mounting points. If you have a side shot that would be great!

Cheers,
Jo.

 

[Cannondale]

I agree. Hitch racks work on SUVs, but not on sporty cars.

I don't have the roof rack on right now, so I can't take a new pic, but as I recall, the load bars are even w/ one another. Also judging by where the fixpoints are on the roofline, they should be level.

So what bike(s) do you ride?

im pretty jealous. everyone here seems to have the hatch
anyways
2010 MZD3 Pearl White
Mililani, HI

totally wish i had a hatch but this works fine

 

[Lord_Zath]

Could I ask why you didn't get the hatch if you wish you had it so bad? I'm guessing it's because of money - I see you have the 2.0

i have bought a mazda3 sport in august. colour is copper red. 2.5L engine.
i live in the Toronto area and the main hwy (401) was under road repair,
the second day of driving i got 2 large stone chips on the front hood.
i called the dealers around to ask if they had any touch up paint, most said it would be 2 weeks before they got there shipment in. anyway got it fixed. i have the 6 speed transmission and have had fun trying to learn from a 5 speed that i am used to. i love the bluetooth as we have a law now about driving hands free.

now i am a little concerned about the gas mileage i am getting. the car is rated at 6.1L/100km or 41 mpg. i am driving about 90% hwy so it should be good. i am only getting 10L/100km. don't know what gives but i'm almost thinking about going back to my old car.(squinty)

Where in the world did you read that the 2.5L version is rated at 41mpg? That is way higher than it is; 21 city, 29 highway (11.2 L/100km city, 8.1 L/100km). I can't imagine the Canadian spec would be that much differently rated in the fuel economy department. 41 mpg sure would be nice though lol.
