The 2010 Mazda3

Ever since its debut for the 2004 model year, the Mazda3 has been a viable option for those who want sports car style at a compact car price. This year, for the 2010 model year, the car has had its first real re-design.

The 2010 Mazda3’s exterior is a variation on the previous design, one sporting several minor changes. Among the changes are a redesign of the front grille, which features a large gap in the lower bumper, something some critics have compared unfavorably to a “sinister smile.” 2010 Mazda3Other exterior alterations include the optional adaptive high-intensity-discharge xenon headlights, and LED taillights, as well as upgraded 17-inch tires to replace the standard 16-inchers. Also optional are a moon roof and a rear spoiler.

Interior features of the 2010 Mazda3, which is still being offered in both four-door hatchback and sedan versions, include a much more contemporary design, featuring front bucket seats and a rear bench (seating for a total of five including the driver), with optional upgrades from cloth upholstery to leather, heated or not. The backseat folds down in a 60/40 split to expand the cargo area in both versions of the car.

Other interior updates include red illumination for the gauges, and a screen atop the dashboard that displays air-conditioning and radio settings. There’s also an optional navigational system, which is operated via a collection of buttons on the right side of the steering wheel. A CD stereo with an auxiliary input jack, power windows, and a tilt/telescoping steering wheel are all standard across the line, with air conditioning standard on every trim level except the base iSV, and cruise control and remote keyless entry standard on every trim but the iSV and the iSport.

If one cares to check out the history of sports coupes, they will find that the late 1980’s along with the late 1990’s was considered to be their dark ages.

I have to say it looks more impressive than it probably is. I timed it at about nine seconds — that’s not too impressive (it’s not a Porsche, I know, but still… ;) ).

A Mazda mx-3 Burnout

Why do idiots keep buying Mazda mx-3’s. It’s not a car for pillocks, so stop buying it, pillocks!

My point is proven in the video below. Some idiot tries to burn out his mx-3 (the car’s NOT made for it, it’s NOT a 600bhp car, it’s not a Spyker C8 Spyder either) and fails miserably. Then decides it “doesn’t look at all that bad right HOMIES?”. The HOMIES agree so they decide to… PUT THE VIDEO ON THE INTERNET…. :s

Guys. Do whatever you want… BUT DON’T SHARE IT.

Oh well and here I am spreading the video too… I’m such an idiot. :)
