The Mazda 3 in red is absolutely stunning, it handles well, will go on forever and has a nice interior. But everybody will buy a Focus or Golf for some reason.

[@dandup570]

Sadly true

[@jjoriordan2670]

@@dandup570 I just don't get it. While the Focus is great to drive and will be reliable, the Golf is almost as much of a white good as the Toyota Auris or Kia Ceed. It may be a little unfair to call the latter a white good. At least Kia seem to be trying.

[@morganspencer-churchill2136]

@@jjoriordan2670 Mazda are attempting to move upmarket and in many countries, the 3 is actually priced higher than equivalent Golfs, despite the lack of the higher brand name status. And have you sat in the back of the new 3? It's unbelievably cramped if you're more than 5'10", almost unbearable. Conversely, the new Focus is incredibly spacious in the rear, the difference between them is really quite astounding. The Focus also drives a lot better in my opinion.

[@matte8441]

Where I live in Canada, Mazda wasn’t a popular choice because they were known to rust pretty bad. The new ones seem to have better rust proofing now

[@grantpalmer3020]

Because the Golf is cheaper and more practical?

[@сукаблять-д3т]

Yes yes I understand top gear did it as well In the form but Chris Harris has obviously here using his own style etc which is great and not still defining the show by trying to mirror the old cast

[@dgbservices6049]

That’s how Chris Evans went wrong. Trying so hard to keep it the same as old top gear, doing things like carrying on with Peugeot bashing when nowadays they’re in fact leagues ahead of what they were 10 years ago! That new 208 is easily in the top 3 of its class...

[@ernodios]

I was gonna say the Mazda 3 too. Mazda is the last hope for lovers of naturally aspirated engines like me

[@pb5x5]

Shame Mazda wont drop that 2.0 sky active X engine in a 2 as it would fly.

[@BrateTebra123]

@@pb5x5 lol it would be too heavy for the Mazda 3. Mazda should up their enginr game and develop a 1.0 turbo engine for the Mazda 2

[@bartandaelus359]

Personally I don't miss an N/A engine. My 335i is getting on a bit now (2007) but it has a twin turbo and so little lag or sound from the turbo system that it feels like an N/A car. And in all honesty... As long as it feels like it, I'm happy with it.

[@realAlexChoi]

I have some good news for you then; as Gen Z and/or the generation after comes of age, we'll probably see the crossover boom end, and probably see a return to wagons/estates. Baby boomers didn't want to drive the same old wagon that their parents did, so they bought minivans, Millennials didn't want to drive the same old minivan that their parents did, so they bought crossovers, so Gen Z will find/find crossovers deeply uncool. So what will replace it? The wagon! Now hear me out, in the US, wagons have become desirable to my generation (younger millenials/older zoomers), since the only ones sold are really the E63 and the RS6. We grew up watching videos of these fast sleepers tearing up European roads, and we've longed for it. We only just now got the RS6 Avant in the states, and it's become rather desirable among young people. Therefore, I predict that as they come of age, wagons will be in again, and crossovers will be out.

The Mazda 3. Nice car if you are sitting in the front seats.

[@UserStig]

It is very rare to see an adult at the back seat these days in any car. In the Mazda 3 you will never see an adult at the back seats. Maybe one child and that's it. I think it is not relevant to talk about space for adults at the backseats in segment C as the car will eventually have one adult for once in it's lifetime.
