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. I am staying in East Malaysia.

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 The new Mazda 3 looks even sportier than the new Mazda 6.

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.

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. Ya i agree with MisterBenjo on the toyota issue.

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).
