#2702 of 2744 Mazda 3 in snow and clearance by rebel71 Feb 27, 2008 (4:45 am)
Hi All,   Could you tell me how the hatchback does in snow? Do you put snow tires on? Is the traction control helpful? I read it was pretty low to the ground 4.8in. Any one have problems w/ scaping, bottoming out? Thank you Replies to this message: tomjones75 (Mar 06, 2008 10:15 pm) bellamusica (Mar 12, 2008 10:16 am)
#2703 of 2744 the MZ3 hatch good enough in snow by gib11 Feb 29, 2008 (2:04 pm)
True the 3hatch is low, true it scrapes the bottom, but it works fine in snow (road, highway)

Replying to: rebel71 (Feb 27, 2008 4:45 am) the hatch is horrible in the snow with the factory 17" wheels and tires. Had to make several runs up my hill 2006/2007 snow season. for 2007/2008 I bought 16" steel wheels with blizzaks and it works great. No problems at all, I certainly recommend the 16" steel wheels with good snow tires

Replying to: rebel71 (Feb 27, 2008 4:45 am) I found that my 06 hatchback handled very poorly in snow and ice with the stock 17" tires. I purchased a spare set of 16" rims and put on snow tires (Dunlop) and have had no problems. In real deep stuff the clearance may be an issue, but so far so good.
#2707 of 2744 Potential 08 Mazda 3 hatch changes? by calvinc Apr 08, 2007 (9:55 am)
Any chance Mazda will put the 6 speed auto on the 08 model? Any other notable changes?

Replying to: exit123 (Mar 13, 2008 10:37 am) All I've heard is that the Mazdaspeed version will get a 400 hp twin turbo with a DSG and AWD. Replies to this message: maltb (Mar 13, 2008 3:22 pm) roadburner (Mar 13, 2008 5:00 pm)

Replying to: roadburner (Mar 13, 2008 2:31 pm) I heard the MS3 would have twin jets with afterburners.   Other than that, I hear the M3 will have a very large smile. Replies to this message: roadburner (Mar 13, 2008 5:00 pm)

Replying to: maltb (Mar 13, 2008 3:22 pm) I heard that the afterburners would be optional...
