Hello bros!

Just put down deposit ytd on the Mazda 3 Elegance after motorshow...

First car! Jin excited.. hope it serves me and my wife well!

It will lor, it has the best interior in its segment.

To me the main downside is lack of rear leg-room. Which will not be a problem unless you have tall teenagers at the back.

Aiyoh... that's not a good thing... minimal power but adds significant weight...

Which is why I'm holding out for the SkyActiv-X to come to SG. It adds a fair amount of power to the currently under-powered Mazda-3.

But then again, there's also the new Corolla Altis 1.8L Hybrid.

Whilst the rear legroom is abit tight and worse still for tall passengers, most of the competitor cars like Altis not that better off I think.

What is also a concern is the lack of power for this car in my opinion. Anyone tested Altis for comparison on power??

I haven't but will do so soon 🙂

From what I've been reading on the forums, the new Altis has worse legroom compared to the outgoing model because of a switch in rear suspension from Torsion Beam to Double Wishbone.

Not too sure about the specifics, but will go and look-see.

Thought mazda 3 is using torsion beam and yet also lack of rear legroom?!

Yes, the result in the suspension switch from multi-links to torsion beam was an improvement in boot space, which is, to me, ginormous for this segment. Why they did it this way I have no clue... Sigh.

It unfortunately isn't a big plus because it makes the boot deep but not very wide, so kind of difficult take out stuff that you've loaded all the way in.

Maybe the Transporter 6 can feature Mazda 3 next! Pretty sure Shu Qi will fit in it very nicely 😛

I always have the impression that a hump in the centre of the car only find in luxury cars?! For B&B cars now, thought mostly should be flat floor in the centre of the car lo. Maybe i was wrong? Lol.

The hump in the centre is there because most luxury cars are RWD. Thus, there is the need to provision space for the drive shaft. 

The new Mazda 3 has AWD variants in other markets and thus the hump, unlike the Altis which is strictly FWD worldwide which is why the floor can be relatively flat.
