Nice!!
The 3 DOES look better as a sedan.

You need to drop that thing tho'
35mm be nice.....

 

[Dexter]

whoa, the 3 is called the SP23? thats awesome!

 

[twilightprotege]

well the 2.3L is. the full name would be Mazda 3 SP23 (carrying on from the P5 being called the SP20)

and yeah, i much prefer the sedan 3

It drives/handles/looks (interior wise) much better than my car (The Black One)...doh!...I have so much respect for our new car that I don't have any respect left to give to mine...Personally I still think the SP20 looks more sleek and sporty than the SP23 but thats about all I like better on the SP20 over the SP23

 

[wiredone]

dont reckon itd drive nicer (power wise) than my sp20, or twilights... =p

never handing my sp20 over... just spent another fortune on parts for the bugger

 

[twilightprotege]

yep feel the same, spent too much money (nothing compaired to you doug) on my 20 to hand it over.

anyway, i'd have to spend almost as much as i already have to get the same power and handling results

 

[wiredone]

and i get ht strong feeling that our sp20s are much more of a solid car, as apposed to the plastic looking exterior of the new 3

Speaking of which...Excuse my ignorance on the subject, but does Australia get cars with left hand drive as well? Just wondering if you guys see a LHD car and thinks it's as cool as us U.S. guys think about all the RHD cars.

No only RHD.
Test drove the 3 was thinking of a up grade but not after the drive.
I think it would be a down grade seat does not go back as far as the SP20
(I got long legs) boot lid is so small i like the interior better in the SP20.Well i only really like the front end and the 2.3 motor about the 3.
will be keeping the SP20.
The SP20 handles better well mine does anyway (rockon)

 

[twilightprotege]

good to hear you're not upgrading rat

if only the sp20 came with 86mm bore and 86mm stroke (2.0L as well) i'd be much much happier (ie i could easily rev my NA monster out to 10000rpm)

Much more of a solid car??? The mazda3 has a triple H structure that minimises alot of body roll, making it very solid..

How can you justify that the mz3's exterior is plastic looking???

Those that look like plastic to you?

Sorry if i'm coming across strongly, i jus dun like it when ppl talk s*** about things they don't know.

btw... What are the specs on the sp20???
