latest mazda3 have been launched in Malaysia.I just came back from the showroom this evening. It looks way way better in flesh compared to the photos. It’s really sporty and driver-centric. really worth the money you’re paying for it.

I am staying in East Malaysia. One issue when buying ‘orphan’ cars HERE, like Mazda 6 (my dream car), or Civic Hybrid etc, is the issue of maintainence. I really don’t know if there will be mechanics who can service the car well or repair them properly. UMW wins in East Malaysia partly because of this.

The new Mazda 3 looks even sportier than the new Mazda 6.
The price would be slightly higher than the old one as it deserves.
Too bad paddle shift and start button is only availalbe in full spec Mazda 6 2.5 , so it is impossible to happen in a Mazda 3

Very nice design indeed. Last Mazda3 still looks sexy to me, but this one is burning even hotter!

I remember the launch of the original Mazda 3. It looks good now as it did then. It had the 2.0L as standard and the 2.3L (and the 2.3L Turbo in the Mazdaspeed3) as the optional engine so in North America, big engines are the norm.

if bermaz plannning to launch this somewhere around the region of 90+ to 110+, i believe it would outsold Civic, Jazz or Altis.. i personally would consider it as a good alternative to Honda or Toyota driving one of the unique rides around.. just like owning an alfa as opposed to owning a beemer or benz..

Ya i agree with MisterBenjo on the toyota issue. Hopefully Mazda packs this piece of baby with standard equipment found in the mazda 6 as well, like paddle shift, cruise control, start-stop button, and maybe even a sat-nav. This will throw Toyota back to the stone age and let UMW realise what they need to bring in to Malaysia.

Damn nice! I wish this model will be a hotseller so toyota will learn a lesson when they build a car without soul they are going nowhere.

Man, always love the Mazda 6 looks but it’s the price that are rather high. Now, we can have the best of both world…the looks and the slightly lower price. Since the current model sold around 110k – 130k, I’ll bet that this new version will be sold here slightly above 135k. I have no objection on that since I’ve test drive the current Mazda 3 and the new Mazda 6. Seriously, those who actually own one…don’t think of selling it even after a couple of years using it. It’s a damn nice car!

arch747,

Bro (I’m with you), if Berjaya gonna bring the Mazda 2, then perhaps they also should consider bringing in the current world most powerful FWD model as a limited edition…which is the Mazdaspeed 3 MPZ (2.3 liters in-line 4 turbocharged, 280 BHP, 380 Nm). What?! We Malaysian don’t deserve one meh?

Good job Mazda! Looks to me like a phoenix has arise from the ashes…

nice design, but i dont like the rear bumper, too extended.

when it comes here, i believe mazda gonna fit in a 1.6 or 1.8 liter engine, since the mazda6 already has the 2.0 and 2.5 liter engine.

doesnt make sense to cannibalize their own market.

will we get EcoBoost and DSG from Ford?

If we do then it will be the perfect car for me

This is simply beautifully crafted.

And it ain’t gonna look dated for the next 8 years i tell ya.

Another kudos for Mazda!

mazda has done wonders in the 2.5litre in the current 6. very fuel efficient. could potentially be better in the smaller mazda 3.

looks like another best seller. cant imagine a competitor product that looks as good. ford focus gets old very quickly.

a 1.8 or 2.0 may be adequate as a 2.5 might be too much on a C segment car. The variant offered is not much differ from the Mazda 6. How would they differentiate their market between Mazda3 and Mazda6 if both series carries the same discplacement.

mazda 3 current is selling at 100k~133k
so this mazda 3 could not be more than that
btw, the facelift rx8 will be launch within this year by berjaya
