It's M day on Saturday, I've been thinking about trading the Demio for a Mazda 3 SP25.
But then I'd have no money for mods on the Astina Maybe next year.

agreed the interior looks stuffed in some colours .... i like the old one more in the drive due to you have to fight the old one to keep it where you want it to go ... but i do like the push button start in the new one

Too much grunt for it's current configuration.

I'd lie to see them in AWD as well as sedan variants.

They are awesome to drive, handle alot better then the old donks...

The wow gizmos are GAY!!!...god im sick of Mazda and their over done buttons and electronics that I always have to fix...
ie. Bluetooth kits, SATNAV..H/U's that give out all the time

Not really a sports car, but not a family car either...just another fast hatch...it does go well though and I recon she looks better then the last 1 did too...
