The wife is ready to buy a Mazda 3 Sport from the Motor Expo. We were there this weekend looking and getting the best promotions. She likes this car. She test drove it and like the way it handles and brakes. I was also pleased with the ride. Any comments would be welcome.

I believe Mazda 3 Sport is same as Mazda 3, so its good, reliable car, the only thing with 2K engine is gas hungry.

I had one with the 1,6L engine and it was very slow. Also didn't like the cheap feel of the interior materials. Sold it after 6 months of ownership...

Don't you like the Ford Focus?

The new face lifted just arrived in Thailand.

It has a diesel engine with awsome fuel consumption, side airbags, electronical stability control, abs... and the other important part, diesel engines are not yet made in Thailand, they are imported from Europe...

I like the Mazda 3 even more the Mazda 3 MPS but in Thailand, I would rather choose the Focus TDCI ^^

Hope it helps... but wife will have the final words I'm sure

and buy a toyota ?? LoL

seriously .... there is just 4 brands for a metter mittle class car ..

mazda,honda,ford or BMW ;-)

based on the price .. bmw and ford falls far out ...

so honda civic or mazda 3 is moreless a issue about taste.

i did drive a mazda 3 in germany .. and poked 160k on the mazda 3 i have here in thailand ..

besides some minors ..never a problem at all !

about slow ...

top speed on the chonburi motorway is by me about 209 (messured with GPS) 1,6 Manaual gearbox. ;-)

thats fast enough for thailand (i guess)
