Be interested to drive one when they switch to the new technology engines.. Only for interest sake though. Projected economy for Auto isn't that amazing.

I just happened to be parked near a Mazda dealer today so decided to have a sit in a couple of versions of the Mazda 3 hatch.

Yes, the quality is impressive with all the soft touch materials and stuff but so dark! With the big C pillar and jet black trim including headlining felt like a cave to me. If I'd gone that way I would have had to option red or some other colour seats.

It's all academic anyway, it suffers from the same issue as the new Corolla.  Boot is way too small for us.. Maybe the sedan would be a bit better with larger back windows and a bigger boot. They didn't have one available to look at.

I think the Mazda comes in 3 colour trims Dazz, black - black with dark plum red and a white option.

The youngish salesman was friendly but didn't seem overly knowledgeable. He did mention red. The two levels I saw were black cloth and black leather.

You can see via Mazda’s website  :link: Next-Gen Mazda3 has arrived | Mazda Australia black with red leather would be my pick :)

Not a fan of black cars, but white with red leather would be nice if it was available.
