New Mazda 3?

[NomisR]

I think they're also bringing the Skyactive-D platform, definitely interested.

Diesels are noisy and stinky.

Yep, no matter what our German friends say I've never been in one I liked.

I've driven the 335d and the R350 Bluetec and I haven't had any problems with them.  They didn't sound like your old school diesels and since I'm inside, I didn't smell it either.  But the torque is awesome!

I was being sarcastic.

I was being sarcastic.

Sadly, people actually think that..

Not only are diesels noisy and smelly, there are only eight gas stations in the country that sell diesel, and if you pour it over yourself, it's very difficult to get out as well as flammable.

+1.  I didn't like any of the diesels I drove in Europe too much.

Diesel is combustible but it is not flammable.

When was the last time you poured gasoline all over yourself?

Edit:  Sorry, forgot this is a part of your daily terrorist training regimen.

The best one I've ever heard was over at GMinsidenews. A member actually expressed concern over his wife filling up their theoretical diesel passenger car at "dangerous diesel isles populated by filthy over the road truckers" and actually mentioned rape. It was unbelievable.

LOLLL

Haha...I sure wouldn't mind running into this over-the-road trucker at the diesel pumps

I'd let her ride on my ice road (that's what I call my stationary bike. I know penis would make more sense, but I call my penis "the squared circle").

I call mine the broken bicycle seat.

I used to call it the Freshmaker, but then I got a cease and desist from Mentos.

I doused myself 3 weeks ago when I put my tank back in.

Sucks, I've had that shit dump all over me at the start of a work day. Stink to high heaven all day.

I've actually warmed significantly to this car. I am contemplating trading in my CX-9 since we have the RX and really don't need two SUV's and if I got one of these now I could hand it to my son in five years when he gets his license. But one of my daughters needs a car ASAP so we need to figure that out first.

I saw a Mentos ad the other day and it appears their new slogan is "Roll with it".

Took one on a test drive. These are nice. The interior is a class leader. Still not sure about the tacked on display on top of the dash.

I liked it, and IMO the sedan is the better looking car of the two.


Still, id rather buy a clearanced out last year's model

They had quite a few left there. Sedan looks good.  I live the 6 but damn, only the sedan?  I want a hatch or wagon.

The hatch is much better looking.

Well, I am now an owner of a new 3. I guess I do not much understand the griping, but the 3 is an excellent compact and the mileage beyond excellent ($17 for a tank of gas?).

I also enjoy the commander knob to operate the infotainment system. The lack of lunging and reaching towards the radio is excellent.

It's not a fancy model. I have a 4 Door i sedan with the preferred package.

[ifcar]

Congrats! They're a blast to drive.

dont forget to tint the windows and set the hvac permanently to the recirculate setting. you know, for hot boxing.

I feel like that is the best model honestly.
