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.” Other 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.

Under the hood of the 2010 Mazda3 there’s a 2.0 liter, 148 horsepower, four-cylinder engine that comes mated to either a five-speed automatic or a five-speed manual transmission, but the s-models come with a 2.5 liter, 167 horsepower, four-cylinder engine and a six-speed manual transmission (though the five-speed automatic is still an option). The automatic transmission comes with a clutchless-manual mode that allows driver control of gear changes, via a console gear selector.

Not surprisingly, it’s the manual-transmission Mazda3i that nets the best results in EPA gas mileage, coming in at 25 mpg in the city / 33 mpg highway. The automatic transmission reduces the city rating by 1 mpg, while the s-models are rated at 21 city/29 highway when fitted with a manual transmission, and 22 city/29 highway with an automatic.

Standard safety features of the 2010 Mazda3 include side-impact airbags for the front seats, side curtain airbags, active front head restraints, and an antilock braking system. All s-models and the iTouring model also come with an electronic stability system.

The starting MSRP for the 2010 Mazda3 ranges from US $15,045 – $21,500 depending on the trim level chosen.

This is the main reason why the Mazda MX-3 is so popular in Canada. Apart from that the capacity of this car to take a maximum of 4 passengers also made it famous. There is another reason, and an important one, that made the Mazda MX-3 so famous in Canada. The Mazda cars released prior to this were styled classically and this particular model veered away from the classic styling that was prevalent in the 1980s that used to be boxy and sported conservative looks. This car had smooth and fluid lines and had a show of modernity apart from the fact that it was comfortable to drive. All these facts helped to make the Mazda MX-3 extremely popular in Canada.

They think that if they have a costly car, its premium will be costly too.

This is a wrong conception. They should know that the insurance of a car depends upon its build and a solidly built car will insure a lower premium than one that is not so robust. Owners of the Mazda MX3 know about the solid build of their cars and hence they should not worry about the low insurance cars that this car will attract. Apart from this there are many insurance brokers who will help you to get the best and lowest premium for your special car. It is recommended that you contact agents who specialize in insuring Mazda cars since they will be able to garner the best deal for your Mazda MX3…

While some manufacturers of the new kit which helps people to convert their Mazda car to a vehicle that will run on Mazda alternative car fuels state that using their product one can drive the car using water, this statement is not true. This is being done just to increase the sales of the kits which will help cars run on Mazda alternative car fuel. However, regardless of the technology used, there is no doubt that once people convert their car using those kits which are sold for about $50-100 (yes, alternative fuels can be this cheap!), their costs of fuel will go down drastically and if that is not enough, the emission from their cars will hardly contain any poisonous substances that are emitted from the exhaust of the cars.

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.
