2010 3s newcomer
Answering your call for owners of 2010 Mazda 3s -- mine is a charcoal hatchback bought on June 3 and today showed 1720 miles. Traded in a 2006 3s hatchback. New one is a much better performer, owing it seems to me, to the 2.5L engine and a more assertive shift pattern for the automatic tranny. It certainly does better in urban and suburban driving, while retaining the excellent handling of the earlier generation. The EPA 1mpg gain in highway mileage seems to come from a taller top gear (anybody have stats on that?).
May I also ask if anyone has info on a roof rack for the 2010 hatchback?
