Title: Mazda3 gets a turbo
Post by: Laconian on June 26, 2020, 06:49:13 PM
The HCCI SkyActiv-X is still a no show, but hey, the 3 finally gets some power.

I wonder why Mazda's been so reluctant to roll out the turbos? Everybody else is doing it. CAFE compliance?

Fiesta has a turbo beam! It is a wonderfully simple suspension solution. :lockedup:

It seems to work well on small cars, Mazda3 is pretty small.  Of course most wouldn't know the difference and wouldn't care.  However, it goes against the ZOOM-ZOOM philosophy. 

Wouldn't make any different unless you track it.

I'm not a fan of the new 3. I'm glad I talked the woman into buying a 2018 one and not hold off on the new one.
