Same chassis, but 2 different cars. Even though the Volvo may have crisp handling and such, I think that the Mazda 3 would be quite different. Reports have shown it to be more of a smooth rider... but hey, maybe I'm wrong ;) And yeah, no recent reviews. The cars are coming out soon, so that's...

A/C is an option in Canada, except for some of the top models. THAT, to me, ain't loaded.

*sniff sniff*... I smell a turbo kit...

But the Mazda 3 is stiffer, from what I've heard.

I guess that at the limits of adhesion, even with proper tuning with shocks and bars, the car will still push? Or do the characteristics change? edit: I'm planning on using the same setup for daily driving

ditto here. "I own an M3" <--- obvious implication, wrong application. "I own a Mazda 3" <---- right application. "I 0wN3d an M3 with my Mazda 3" <---- lie... most of the time :D Anyways, back on topic, do the P5s come with HIDs? as an option?

How about... Maz3? Ma3? "the" 3? 3 Callaberos? Mazda3 works for me.

Was watching a video by Top Gear on AWD vs FWD vs RWD. They chose RWD in the end (which kinda surprised me) but anyways, that's besides the point. The thing is the FWD Alfa Romeo did really poorly on all their tests, which is where they pushed the cars to the limit of traction. FWD...

I really hope that Mazda comes out with a stereo kit for aftermarket stereos for the Mazda 3... and a body kit, and a turbo kit... hehehe :D :D :D If I end up with the CDN GX trim, I get a tape player and 2 speakers.... even my 1985 car has more speakers than that!! Question: -Is it possible...

DRLs?

First to vote! :P I was looking at the Mazda Protege 5 when I ran into the Mazda 3 thread... I was like... "wah? what's that?"

how does the 9 seconds from the 2.0L compare to the other cars in the same class? (Toyota Corolla, Honda Civic, Suzuki Aerio, etc.)

Yeah, that kinda stinks... but the MSRP is still around 16,195, which is not bad. You think dealers may drop a little?

Also posted on mazda3forums.com: Taken from the Mazda Canada webpage: Most interesting (I added the emphasis). All this talk about the car seeming to interacti with you sounds cool. So... the Mazda 3 has a modular stereo system... does that mean that we CAN put an aftermarket stereo system...

Oh okay, then that makes total sense. I was thinking that the GT "sports seats" had more thigh and shoulder coverage to encompass your body better (much like racing seats). But hey, as long my butt doesn't slide during hard cornering... I'm happy. Leather is probably out :P As for interior...

OH! Okay :) So the Mazda 3 will not get cheapo cheapo seats that don't hold you in the seat?

Looked up the mazda canada webpage and found that the GX and GS trim (the 2.0L Mazda 3) comes with casual cloth seats, while the other higher (And more expensive) trims come with sports seats... uhh... what would be the difference? I mean, would it make a huge deal, especially in autox? wongpres?

Nothing stated for HIDs. don't see them in options either. someone care to verify?

I think it is... (leather seats an option in Canada). not sure which trim, though.

The Mazda 3 seems like a lot of cars combined into one (in terms of looks).
