Mazda3 test drive coming up.
Last Updated:
I just got a Mazda3 hatchback to drive for a week.
My test car is a loaded Grand Touring model. It is the current 2018 model year.
Not the all-new redesigned 2019 seen recently at the Auto Show (HERE)
Since I had not driven the current generation, I thought it would be interesting. (As I really enjoyed the previous one)
So far, the car still looks great, inside and out. Interior is really upscale.
I have not been driven it yet since it has been raining all day here. But I am going to a big party tonight, and the rain has stopped. So the driving will begin soon…
As usual, I will try to answer any questions you might have about the car.
I have the 2017 5 door hatch. The car is great. I also got CarPlay retrofitted. My only complaint is the average interior. Probably the Grand Touring is better, I don't know. I think the current generation hatch looks better than than the 2019
I think the current hatch's exterior style is much better than the 2019. I love the 2019 interior styling and sedan exterior styling though. They really lost an opportunity with the 2019 hatch.
I'm glad y'all are getting rain. I hope it helps.
