Replying to: aviboy97 (Mar 23, 2009 7:13 am) And as far as equipment goes, other than the lack of heated seats, a MZ3 S Sport 5 door with the Bose/Roof package has all that a Rabbit with all available options has going for it and more, and the prices are more than comparable. You can't get leather in a Rabbit at all, unless you count a GTI, and if you go that route you are in the upper $26k range MSRP (at least from what I can recall, I don't feel like parusing the back lot right now).

Replying to: markmazda3 (Mar 23, 2009 5:27 pm) I think Mazda has it right finally. I wonder what Honda and Toyota will do? Does mazda offer the 2.3 still?They might have all 3, 2.0 ,2.3,and a 2.5liter. I would prefer engines as an option though. I forgot the Rabbit has heated seats. I priced one with Moonroof and heated seats no arm rest $19600.00 MSRP. I think you're right ,but I have to check mpg for both.

Replying to: joem5 (Mar 30, 2009 5:10 pm) It's not uncommon for this to happen these days. In fact, some auto transmissions even get BETTER mileage than their manual counterparts. The 6-speed automatic is now becoming commonplace, replacing the ancient 4-speeds that have been used for what seems like forever. More ratios mean better acceleration and better fuel economy. Also, automakers can have better control with engine/drivetrain electronics if it has the ability to assign a certain gear at any time, also helping with mileage and overall performance. Are they good enough to abandon the three-pedal setup altogether? Not in my book, not by a long shot. For the point-A-to-point-B driver? I'd think so... |

For those of you old enough to remember, the stylish Scirocco coupe is back. Interesting alternative to the Mazda3 GT or maybe even the Mazdaspeed3. And that front fascia is like the evil brother of the 2010 Mazda3.

Does anyone know from their own experience owning a 2010 Mazda 3 i if the real world MPG of the car exceeds the EPA designated mileage? I'm interested in performance but I'm also interested in MPG.

Replying to: ahightower (Apr 01, 2009 12:01 pm) and I'll be following the mpg closely and provide updates. This of course, doesn't provide alot of data, but in my freeway commute (approx 45 miles) the MID showed an mpg average in the low 30's. I stress, this was just freeway driving and I was consciously driving conservatively, though averaging just under 70mph. More data to come
