what's the go with Mazda 3, out of all the cars i test drove that was by far the worst with the smallest interior and less power then old lady going up a hill in a motorized wheel chair, yet in my area there's one every second house.

Sorry to any Mazda 3 owner or lover :)

There's a new model Mazda 3 out now, apparently a lot of people were holding off for it before they placed their order, which could explain the spike in sales

mazda and suzuki were the two worst makes i test drove... suspension too rigid, seats uncomfortable and the cars felt small.

and toyota was by far the most boring. id buy an underpowered auto for my 89 year old grandmother...

and i keep on seeing more and more i30s on the road now too. who knows they might end up popular enough to have a plant to service au/nz ha ha ha

Yeah I've never seen the appeal of the Mazda 3 (or even 6) range. Two guys here at work have a 3 and a 6 and the both look ugly and the interior of the 2 looks like the interior of my old Gemini. The inside of the 6 is comparable to my i30 IMHO.

Also, as an aside gripe, those new Mitsubishi Lancers look like rubbish to me.

A lot of those cars at the top would be fleet or sales due to the 50% investment allowance for businesses...

I get a lot of Rally Art Lancers and EVO's at work. They look really nice. When a Lancer Sportsback comes in
i just have to laugh.
