Mazda has finally dropped pricing on the 2012 Mazda3, which includes the first of the brand’s all-new fuel-efficient SKYACTIV TECHNOLOGY. “The Mazda3 is the core of the Mazda line-up and continues to be the standard by which all other compact cars are measured,” said Jim O’Sullivan, president and CEO, MNAO. “Because of the importance of this [...]
It’s time for another Let’s Talk Numbers battle and today we are focusing on two popular hot hatchbacks – the 2011 Volkswagen GTI and the 2011 Mazdaspeed3. These two hot-hatches have always been the center of debate for youngsters in the market and today we’re here to let you settle the score with some help [...]
During a recent technology forum, Robert Davis, Mazda USA senior VP of product development, mentioned that the next-generation Mazdaspeed3 may be powered by a diesel engine. Davis mentioned that the younger crowd that buys the Mazdaspeed3 doesn’t really have a negative perception of diesel engines so buyers won’t shy away from a torquier hatchback. Davis [...]
This past September, we were fortunate enough to spend a week with the 2010 Mazda3 and were very pleased to say the least. The Japanese carmaker”s compact offering is practical, fuel-efficient, modestly priced, and drives much better than most of its competition. With this in mind, it was with great excitement that we got behind [...]
When the 2010 Mazdaspeed3 made its debut earlier this year in Geneva, we were pretty disappointed to see the same 260-hp 2.3L DISI Turbo 4-cylinder engine powering the “hot-hatch.” However, our depression came to rest when we learned that Mazda was working on a Mazdaspeed3 “Evolution,” a faster and more powerful version. To our disappointment, [...]
It’s more aggressive looking; it’s even got a hood-scoop that could scare the pants off other high-performance hatchbacks; however, it still carries the same ol’ 263-hp 2.3L DISI Turbo 4-cylinder. Yes, we’re talking about the 2010 Mazdaspeed3 (like you couldn’t already tell by the pictures and the title). Word on the street is that Ford is [...]
We’ve already seen the 2010 Mazdaspeed3 and the CX-7 at the 2009 Geneva Motor Show, but the two models will make their stateside debut at the 2009 New York Auto Show next month next to the new 2010 Mazda CX-9. Mazda says that the 2010 CX-9 gets an interior and exterior facelift with improved safety [...]
That’s right, while the 2010 Mazda3 MPS (2010 Mazdaspeed3) looks totally radical and aggressive on the outside and seems like it could scare the heck out of its predecessor, under the hood is the same 260-hp 2.3L DISI Turbo 4-cylinder that isn’t helping this high-performance hatchback be a truly impressive successor. We’re not sure what [...]
Mazda has dropped all the details and images on the 2010 Mazda3 MPS (known as the 2010 Mazdaspeed3 on the stateside) before its Geneva debut tomorrow. While on the outside, the 2010 Mazda3 MPS was totally redesigned, under the hood it remains pretty much the same. Following the design theme of the all-new 2010 Mazda3, [...]
Mazda released the first details and images of the new 2010 Mazda3 MPS (Mazdaspeed3 to us here on the stateside) yesterday prior to the hatchbacks debut at the 2009 Geneva Motor Show. We now have a short and very thrilling teaser for the 2010 Mazdaspeed3 / Mazda3 MPS from Mazda. Power for the 2010 Mazda3 MPS will [...]
