The next-generation Mazda 3 is here, revealed as a five-door hatchback first – the car was launched in five countries at a go, with Melbourne hosting the global reveal ahead of launch events in New York, London, St Petersburg and Istanbul. The new car shares its handsome looks with larger sibling Mazda 6, and the sedan version that will probably come later will look even more like a mini Mazda 6.
The new Mazda 3 is on average about 60 kg lighter than its predecessor, despite being a larger car. Its wheelbase has grown 60 mm to 2,700 mm, and it’s now 4,465 mm long, 1,795 mm wide and 1,450 mm tall, which represents a growth of about 5 mm, 40 mm and 20 mm respectively.
It’s worth noting that the 2014 Mazda 3 now has a longer wheelbase than the Mk3 Ford Focus – other than the Mazda 2 and the BT-50 truck, there’s not much platform sharing with Ford going on any longer. The car rides on MacPherson struts at the front and a multi-link suspension at the rear.
Five engines have been announced at launch – a new 1.5 litre SkyActiv-G engine, two different tunes for the 2.0 litre SkyActiv-G engine, a 2.5 litre SkyActiv-G engine, and a single 2.2 litre SkyActiv-D diesel motor.
The new 1.5 litre SkyActiv-G slots in between the 1.3 litre and 2.0 litre versions and outputs 100 PS at 6,000 rpm and 150 Nm of torque at 4,000 rpm with direct injection and a compression ratio of 14.0:1.
The lower powered version of the 2.0 litre SkyActiv-G engine produces 120 PS and 210 Nm of torque, curiously low power for a 2.0 litre engine. It’s obviously detuned for fuel economy and emissions purposes because the high power version of the engine with the i-ELOOP system produces 165 PS and 210 Nm. Both engines have direct injection and run a 14.0:1 compression ratio.
The SkyActiv-D 2.2 litre engine produces 150 PS at 4,500 rpm and is the most torquey of the lot – 380 Nm at 1,800 rpm. All four engines can be had with a six-speed manual transmission. The low-power 2.0 as well as the 2.2 diesel can be had with a six-speed automatic. The final engine is the 2.5 litre SkyActiv-G, which is likely to be quite similiar to the one in the Mazda 6.
Mazda also announced that the Mazda 3 sedan will be coming and will also be available with a petrol electric hybrid powertrain – if it’s mated to a 2.0 litre and below engine capacity, perhaps we might see it introduced at a very good price in Malaysia?
What do you think of the new Mazda 3? Like what you see?
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Dem..I juz bought the current mazda 3..dem dem dem!
Don’t worry. It will take them a few years to bring this to Malaysia.
I beg to differ. Bermaz are usually pretty fast when it comes to bringing the latest Mazda. Remember the Mazda 6 started selling in the US in early 2013 as a 2014 model. We already got it by March. Expect to see the all new Mazda 3 introduced in Malaysia by March next year.
hope you are right! but when they invested in the CKD line, they will not be that fast to breakeven and have to CKD a newer model. Remember how slow we got the launch of the current Suzuki Swift? The robotic CKD line was one of the biggest delay reasons.
the new mazda3 interior with integrated screen and hud makes mazda6/cx5 interior looks el-cheapo
I disagree. Recent new models came in rather quickly – think Mazda 6, CX5
I hope the CKD assembly practise doesn’t slow down the launch with rubbish excuses like retooling, retraining, etc
yeah, and manual version as well…. wait n see…
beautiful car, cant wait to see on the road ^^ even-though i cant afford it…
I believe that it will launch soon. Hope we can get the original 2.0 SkyActiv engine.
wth..low powered version is only 120ps, it’s already 2.0l but tiny ps/hp, totally a turn off. The high powered one is more dseirable but a GDI? Can it use ron95 without sacrificing the performance? And for sure the road tax + insurance are pricier than any 1.6 turbocharged engine cars here. Sigh. The cars are meant for global but Malaysians. Pity.
read the torque number. 210nm.
Read it, my concerns are high powered one is a GDI and 2.0l engine car insurance and road tax. 1.6T is better.
Currently Ford Focus in malaysia is 2.0 GDI.. so i think malaysia fuel should be compatible
The difference in road tax is not really significant if you split the difference into months. BTW, both power units are GDI. As someone pointed out. Read the article again.
Don’t just look at numbers. They only tell half the story. Test drive the car when it comes out.
The general car buying public has been loong hoodwinked into only taking hp numbers as doctrine. (Like camera buyers looking for megapixels)
How well a car drives (or if it feels underpowered) is dependent on a lot of other factors, such as gearing, vehicle weight and ignition and valve timing. This is the basis of Mazda’s Skyactive philosophy.
My guess is the 120hp unit will offer much better drivability in-city with exceptional fuel economy. And you don’t have to rev the headbolts off it to get meaningful power. You have to understand that HP is a calculated figure from power over time. Which means, the higher you rev an engine , the more HP it makes. Bringing down the peak power RPM will lower HP but will also make the engine more responsive at lower rpm.
I personally prefer the japanese to be more active in force feeding their engines, but to each their own.
With 60kg saved, those of us in drag racing will typically equate that to about the equivalent of an additional 10hp “gain” in power.
Pity you. CX5 and Mazda 6 are ALREADY using GDI in Malaysia with RON 95.
4G63T DSM great explanation,this how to comment..come with facts.
Mazda is no Honda…This car will be here very soon. Look at how fast CX5 and Mazda 6 came here just months after official launch.
No it wont. Based on m6 and cx5, we can expect it come around march 2014.
M6 launched on russia on september 2012 and the new m6 reached port klang around january and people get their car early march and launching it around mid march.
I have to say that this all new Mazda 3 is the best looking car amongst its rival from especially Honda, Nissan and Toyota. Besides, the performance is not bad at all after considering few factors like power to weight ratio. And we Malaysians also want a car with good FC. I would love to test drive this car and will for sure cancel the booking for the civic. The only worry is the RV without neglecting the fact Honda and Toyota have much good RV than Mazda but I think if Mazda keep progressing like this, it seems like it will has a good RV.
Sorry bro, I’d say this one has nicer interior.
6 airbags + ESP.
Hope they bring the new 3 sedan to kill the hurt my eye looking Almera! yuck that thing is ugly!
Yes it is.
damn it! me too… just got my Mazda 3 hatchback 2 weeks ago… WTF!!! the salesman never mentioned before that the all new Mazda 3 is about to launch. arghhhhh……
Sorry to hear that…next time before buying a car, do your own research first…car enthusiast already know that the all new mazda 3 would be coming out next year…I also wouldn’t tell you anything if I was your salesman too unfortunately unless you ask about it….its all about sales
Ermmm….. I meet serdang SA and asking for 2.0 Madza 3. The good thing is he advise me to wait next year as new model will come. So not all SA is keep as secret.
No sunroof :(
cannot do things under moonlight.
Mazda 3 . . the pinnacle of hatchback car . . fap fap fap . . Mazda ftw
Wooowwwwwwwww!!!! Fantastic!
Angry Timon face!
Angry Timon for the front and angry Pumba for the rear. Haha.
from a scary joker to a serious looker…
SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!!!!!!!!
climax car…
Let’s vote
Choose “like” for new Mazda 3
Choose “dislike” for Ford Focus
Best looking in it’s class I dare to say! Performance should be good as 6 and CX-5 received very good in terms of driving dynamic and fuel efficiency. It looks just so good that can stack up against A-Class. Focus or Golf MK7 is really lose this car in design. Previously I saw some rendering about this 3, I kinda dissapointed as it looks exactly like a 6, but the real outcome is very impressive, it looks same, yet different and can be easily distinguished between them. Although it shared same chassis as CX-5, but the shape is very different from CX-5. When people says Korean cars are better looking than Japanese car, as a Japanese automobile fans I can use Mazda and say Japs are much better looking than all it’s rival. Seriously, Mazda is very impressive these year as a small company, they manage to achieve something really excellent. Great job! Mazda-san!
I have no argument on the exterior, though personally still I prefer MK7 of it’s elegance and simplicity. Performance wise, on paper at least, it still is inferior than EA211 1.4 TSI.
Anyway, let’s wait for the official figure (and spec) for Malaysia market.
Majority jap car are ugly. Mazda is really an exception. Until T&H improves, you will have to live with the saying of jap car are ugly (with the exception of Mazda).
The Hiroshima boys really design fantastic car after being bombed by a nuclear 70 years ago. Toyota should invest in Fukushima and open a design centre there and after few years, Toyota might win best looking car in every segment.
so no atom bomb=shitty design??? Maybe we need to nuke tanjong malim and rawang then…
Just a joke bro, don’t take it too serious.
All it needs is the 2.3L DISI turbo engine producing a healthy 340hp to compete with the M135i, S3, A45 AMG, and the upcoming Subaru WRX STi.
wait for Mazdaspeed 3, or MPS! the previous generation is kinda bad compare to Focus ST, Golf GTi and Megane RS.
better still, RWD. 340bhp at the front wheels will torque steer quite a lot, regardless of how sophisticated the differential may be.
If there’s a flaw with the design, well, maybe the nose is a tad heavy looking ala current Peugeot 308, but overall really a awesome contribution by Mazda to the segment in the aesthetic department, thou maybe a bigger roof spoiler can spice things up further. Interior is quite a change over its bigger sibling, And that 12C looking meter cluster looks like its housing 2 LCD, if true, thats beyond Awesome!
Meanwhile in Malaysia, the Preve hatchback, still…
… is in the making.
…struggling to tighten a bolt properly.
Shut up and take my money!
Who’s want ur money? u think that Mazda really need ur little money? go booked one in the future if u can afford it!
Does that mean there’s no petrol force-induced engine for the MPS? :(
Not so soon I believe. The design and nature of 14.0:1 compression engine isn’t suitable for force induction. Unless they changed the materials of the engine.
Looks like an angry bird
Bring in the diesel!! Preferably keeping the price at max RM110k
Neh.. Will wait the Preve hatchback..
In another word means, Neh….Will wait for the Preve hatchback because I damn want this Mazda 3 but can’t afford it..
Dont give up. You can own this car. There must be a way.
the most amazing thing about this car is the interior, it looks very much like the interior of the Merc A class, which is not a bad thing at all. the quality of the interior looks good too from the photo, but i will reserve my judgement until i have seen it in flesh.
the headlight so very bmw to me..
Mazda now stop smilling start angry.
Angry Bird ! xD
the front number plate looks awkward…
No doubt it’s the best looking car in it’s class. However, for a car of this size, the 100ps 1.5 liter engine is inadequate don’t you think?
I also thought so… a conflict of identity – sporty vs. economical.
Skyactiv. ThIs car is a full 100kg lighter and pair with their new Skyactiv trans. Don’t just look at the hp. Good example are the Korean cars where they have higher hp but on the road they are always behind for 0-100 and fuel consumption.
It’s common for European C segment cars to have 75-100 hp. While there are more powerful variants, such entry level cars are offered as well. 100 hp for the entry level version of a C segment car sounds quite decent. If you are willing to spend more of course you can get more power.
Wait for MPS version :)
for me, aside from Mitsubishi, Mazda is the most dynamic in its design outlook compared to other Japanese car manufacturers.
seriously, look at how their cars are designed – not too Japanese and not too Continental either but somehow has elements of both. how can you not appreciate the design and technology as well as the curves and lines inside and outside their cars?
gotta save up and get one…..in 5 years time!
Not japanese not conti then what?
PROTON?
just say it…of course follow korean car…look at the line, curve…its a hyundai…mazda the only japs car close to korean in term of design..hate it but have to suck it sucker
Mazda follow Korean car? Errr..Mazda chief designer is a Japanese. Who did the Korean hired?
Nah, I do think this is a quite Japanese design, unless by not Japanese you mean not ugly, as the other Japanese car makers have been for quite a while now.
that’s close to what I meant, as well as uninspiring driving experience offered by ‘that other two Japanese car makers’. Mazda still maintain its “Japanese-ness”, precise and sterile, but not outwardly boring.
like another commentator brought up Kia/Hyundai. Since the design chief is Peter Schreyer, so no guesses where that Continental design came from. so far, they got the design factor in the right direction with ride and handling following suit.
as such, IMHO, Mazda is clearly more refined compared to Mitsubishi, but the latter is a bit brash and quite a lot fun too – minus the current Mirage, haha.
is it only me that think the interior look like BMW interior. anyway, welldone.
agree with you. Kind of nice actually.
Finally Mazda learn to get angry as before it smiles.
After this? sad looks ? ..
But, sorry not impress with the car performance with large displacement and not gonna sell well in Malaysia.
Like a old granma with big torso..
If this car’s heart transplant to the i-ELOOP system , this car has perfect balance…
This detuned engine need to throw away to the smile face Mazda to match the personality ..
Please Mazda, Low displacement with power will win Malaysian heart like the VW did
Tax should be judge by emission, not engine displacement. Engine size =/= emission and efficiency anymore.
Great looking car, but the promo is……a lot of improvements required.
The number plate at the front grille makes the car looks surprisingly ugly.
please bring in few units of manual version as well
This looks better than Kia cerato.
Look at the interior and the exterior. It looks very premium like Lexus and bimmer.
2.2 diesel makes it quite a hot hatch like the golf GTD. Good luck from not smoking the tyres on wet roads
oo, don’t see a cd slot
CD? Seriously?
To Proton this is how a world class hatch should be designed.
Your outdated Preve Hatch boleh jalan lah
Compression ratio 14:1, really suit for ron95? If use ron95 in long term will have problem like Toyota D4?
If the 120PS engine version is sold here, then it might fail big time.. mazda pls don’t screw it.. a very attractive car must come with a good engine, otherwise flop.
Wah, you sound like you are much smarter than those Japanese that build car before even your grandma was born.
define good engine..mr engineer..
“The lower powered version of the 2.0 litre SkyActiv-G engine produces 120 PS and 210 Nm of torque”
Is Mazda for real, 2.0 doing 120ps? Isn’t that way underpowered for a 2.0 car?
As I recall, did the Slyphy not have a 2.0L with 120hp when it first came out. Don’t see it not selling?
Don’t just look at numbers.
Ppl don’t look at numbers here. They just look at badges.. pitiful.
Again and again, why do we always only care about hp so much?? To achieve a good ‘day to day’ driving one really have to look at the torque and not hp. Torque is the one that pulls your car from stationary and that’s what really matters to most of us, acceleration. Hp on the other hand will come in handy if you want to reach higher speed. Now, how many of us are pushing our car to the max speed everyday?? Secondly, beside torque (not hp), one should look at how good the transmission do their work. Remember transmission is the one that give force to the wheels not the engine. Thirdly, weight of the car. A car with more horsepower but heavier or a car with less horsepower but lighter? You decide.
They obviously are not true car enthusiasts. Go stick with your H & T =)
hp lovers thought they can use up all the hp power with AES around..lol
underpower? your brain maybe, but not sure to mazda..cos u haven’t try this car yet..not also everyone cos its not arrive..
Yes, but hp is just one part of the story. Look at the torque figure, at 210Nm, it is higher than even the Civic, Lancer,all 2.0..
Indeed it’s a gamechanger! Kodus to the new gen of M3. After a generation of smileys, here comes the generation of sophisticate seriousness! Zoom zoom.
good job mazda!! errr.. preve hatchback.. where r u?
different price lar, bro..almost 1 mazda can buy 2 preve..cannot compare lar…rich ppl sure this mazda lor..no money at least can buy preve mar..
Superb! Impressive! I like the interior.
The c-segment market is getting more interesting
Can’t wait for the new Mazda 3 and Pug 308 to arrive here soon
look like subaru impreza to me
Are you kidding us?
Everyone here only see the hp and say underpowered, do you see the torque figure? its 210Nm, which is more than capable to pull the car. Think of diesel engine for the performance.
14.0:1 is only for Europe, here it will be detuned to 13.4:1 as with the CX-5 and new 6. We still stuck with Euro 2 anyway. RON95 or 97 is not an issue.
Mazda/Bermaz, bring the 2.0 manual also!
Will it be available for display during the upcoming KLIMS 2013? A rather hopeful thought than reality maybe.. Hopefully Bermaz will not delay the launch just to meet the selling target of the current M3. For me, if the new model is only going to reach our shore in 2 years time, I will still not buy the current M3, since the new one is already out globally.
ok now can start to save for dwpayment. :p
as Malaysian i do not worry much about 120ps,it’s have a good torque which is 210nm and skyactive is a true automotive tech! not a ventilated seat,sunroof whatever crap you call it.
And with the expense of performance when it is detuned to use ron95, it’s not worth it. Same goes with the high powered version.
it’s worth it,mazda famous with their marvelous handling,not like your korean car.pffft..
It use the same engine as the M6, if power is not enough, just some simple tuning then it can achieve the M6 power. But you’ll lose fuel efficiency and handling.
Peh! I just bought current Mazda 3..Oh no!!!!
Haha…same goes to me..
just bought it on April this year..
Simply stunning. Love the interior. Simple, practical and elegant. Nice place to be in. Will wait for the MPS version with better performance and fuel efficiency than the existing one. Monster torque steer not for the faint hearted.
MPS coming in a couple of years?
Hopefully better the second time! Price was pretty good, just need to make sure the mistakes of the previous one aren’t repeated
Torque steer monsters are not too well received regardless of who you ask
Agreed. You’re hanging for dear life when making that sudden overtaking move. Hope the new version will iron out the mistakes of previous one.
Stunning! Best design among C segment cars!
Still KIA CERATO far superior design.
Mazda 3 is such funny and unattractive name at all
So you buy car based on their name??? and you think Kimchi flavoured ‘Gelato’ is a nice name?? Pity you…
Cerato would only wins in terms of price, I think, since both not yet out..
but design & power? KIA = Killed In Accident
Sexy body with a weak heart ! Ford Focus IMO is much better.
Not when the PowerShift on a FoFo comes to a grinding halt!
What a stunning design in modern day car. Very rare to see a well designed C-segment car, usually todays cars are nothing but factory mass produced machines with not one bit of character unless you spend millions. Definitely a design that will be referenced upon even in the future. Sadly won’t be buying one thanks to our silly only automatic variants.
I still prefer Mazda MPS! Speed & Power!
Can’t wait to get this car as my own early 2014.. hehehe
Mind if I join? lol
210 nm…more than enough to do sprint test…but..top speed…sure loose on…but what the heck…as long as can speed up quickly and overtake quickly…and can maintain 120 km/h at reasonable rpm…
After detuning what nm you get? 180nm? LOL.
still enough. comparable to 1.8 engine. and btw, the engine was manufactured by mazda..not bwh pokok engineer. of course they know what they do. i do agree that 120ps is low for 2.0..but who knows in real world driving might be different.
top speed useless in Malaysia lar..unless you are rich enuff to pay all AES u got..
to me most important in Malaysia is fuel efficiency & speed pickup.
I wouldn’t mind them bringing in the manual first. It’s a semi-hot hatch!
Yeah who gives a crap to outdated Preve hatchback HA HA HA BOOO PROTON
I agree with you, but still, becos of taxation, no cars could be more affordable than proton cars, same class to same class..sadly..
so, you cant really boo proton as majority could afford proton but not mazda..
Have they announce the price for Malaysia yet? I guess not. LOL… too early…
makes the new CERATO breathless….
2.0l mill that churns out as much horsepower as a 1.6 liter engine? why why why???
FC FC FC FC…..
Well, skyactiv seems to mock up turbocharged engine. Lower displacement, higher torque. This car (low powered version) might have top speed of only 190km/h as the hp is quite low. If you want the higher top speed, choose the high powered version, but prolly its FC of the city usage is higher than the low powered one.
Detuning the GDI engine to lower compression ratio so that it’ll be able to accept ron95 fuel might decrease its performance, but I believe it’s just about 5% decrease from the original version (compression ratio 14.0:1). So it’ll be about 200nm, still not bad. (For record preve turbo has 205nm)
Last, have to look at the torque at low rpm. That would be essential for city driving FC and of course the pick up from standstill. If I’m not mistaken it reaches quite high number of torque at low 2,000rpm. That’s quite good actually.
Have to test it yourself later.
agree… torque rules~ just like the VW Tsi 1.4 engine
bring out the MPS!
Damn!!!! This is going to make it hard to choose between the Suzuki Swift Sport and Mazda 3!!!
Hot hatches FTW!!!
mazda3 not a hot hatch mazda3 mps is a hot hatch..hahaha..btw,good taste!
Wow ! Look like my New Mazda 6. Nice !
If bring in the 1.5L n price correct… it may become New Vios, Almera, City killer…
Dem cantek wooo…why la proton cannot design like this..if not I can buy something like this at cheaper price meh
proton got similar design also useless lor..after 3 months, sini bunyi, sana rosak..
dun dislike me cos I say bad, but I said the truth..
nevermind la, first 3 months aje can show off other people..after 3 months people don’t care already
finally found the car that I want
but not affordable
Wow. Guess I’ll hold off on the Focus for a while and pray for a manual Mazda3. DCT gearboxes may be awesome but they can’t beat a manual for driving pleasure….
I’m pretty sure they’ll offer a MT tranny for this.
Roughly estimate how much d price?.. anyone?? …
Imo, I think this new mazda3 is even more beautiful than ct200h.
thank god I skipped the hyundai elantra, this is the real deal
can it run with 91 fuel? buy it then, no more 95, 97 feed for skyactive engine @@ hahahaha……..
I am about to register my new Mazda 3 HB next week :(
Should I hold back? Anyone know when this new model will be lauched in Malaysia?
I will definitely hold if I were you, look, you have to use the car for the next, say 7 or 8 years.
if you take the current version, then after several months and the new one launched, then you will keep asking yourself why do you want to get the current version instead of waiting for few more months for a few more years usage.
And it comes with skyactiv engine, definitely a plus point to me.
dai lou, skyactiv leh !
Hi all,
do you guys have any idea about the sedan type? how long it takes to launch after the hatchback?
I prefer more on sedan, but appreciate if you guys can share me about the comparison on engine power( since the sedan is much heavier than hatchback).
Dont know which to get, hatchback or sedan =.=
Go for sedan if you have family.
I will be waiting for sedan.
The moment can booking for sedan I taruk dulu while waiting for info.
hello to all.
i,
it is being reported here in the usa that the sedan will be announced in 5 weeks.
regards,
vrmchris
the sedan might have bigger boot. but the performance might differ from the hatch. the hatch 0-100 is about 8.9 sec for manual 2.0 (normal version) and around 10 for auto.
bring in the diesel plsss….
Currently mazda 3 5k discount , looks like they are preparing for the coming new Maz 3 !
Good looking C segment car. Hope the OTR price below RM110k. Maybe Honda will bring the Civic Euro to compete with this beauty..
Well … let’s see if our newly elected G is fulfilling the abolishment and redicing of excise duty or not … so far alot issue on the inedible ink …
I believe pricing shud b higher then the current M3 ..
Considering the CX5 now .. or shall we wait for M3? End of this year maybe?
Why oh Why ………they chose a Bird as LOGO
Mazda 3
1) Underpower
2) Stiff suspension no good for Malaysia road
3) FC is bad
4) Not prestige name ie Honda, Toyota or Kia
5) Small and cramped inside
6) Resale value is totally bad
7)Rear lamp copycat Hyundai
The lists keep going..
Prestige name ie kia?
u smoking something hard?
Kia? u must be joking
This car isn’t aimed for you. Mazda has the sporty philosophy and they back that up. That’s what I like about them. They aren’t trying to be everything for everyone. They go after a certain kind of driver. one who likes to drive and driver engagement. yes the downside of a sporty ride is you feel a lot. People who like disconnected and cushy rides buy a T or H. Not bashing you just saying different strokes for different folks. Cheers.
I heard 2.0 will be lauched in Malaysia in Aug ’13 and 1.5 will only be launched in Malaysia in Mar’14. Hope that is true as I m going to on hold my plan and waiting for the new model.
I was told that the production will focus on left hand drive 1st. The right hand drive will be available only later this year. Again, the initial batch to be CBU and eventually CDK. Also, I heard they plan for M6 CKD too, not sure true or not.
So should I wait for the new Mazda 3 or just buy the current Mazda 3 , which white colour is not available and I force to get another colour that I dun really like. I wish I can wait but the problem is I have sold my old car ……
Finally the new M3 is launched although is not in M’sia gives some time to BERMAZ to bring in the new Mazda3, I gonna to get you when you are here…Luv it!
Finally it comes after worth long while of waiting. Exterior and design as per expectation.
Now am waiting for sedan version, would it be hybrid for another surprise? Yet in a very competitive price range. Please price it at 100k range, then I don’t even need to headache about choosing the right car. haha…
If Bermaz brings in the 2.0 high power version with 6 speed manual stick, man that will be FUN!! But I guess, very unlikely. Most Malaysian drivers are sissies, preferring auto transmission..sigh..can’t understand this..
Beautiful car. The only Jap make that make you feel good owning it. The Jap answer to other continental makes.if only the engine is turbocharged with smaller cc then yes it’s near perfect. It beats t and h anytime for sure. But for 139k, add 16k and try the Golf 1.4 TSI. You will be hooked unless you want colorful gadgets…
BORINGGGG…proton is better.bye
