    Mazdas are these days & probaly have been for many years., shut lines are perfect & finish overall is 20/10

    Recently bought a CX-3 Maxx Sport & very pleased with it, not to mention low fuel consumption, Road holding is great.

    Only thing not keen on is the all black interior but it seems most makes are. Drop something on the floor & you need a small torch to find it.

    Love that Mazda red.
    If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.

    Not to mention the ability to fry food on the black surfaces after being parked in the sun for a while with the temperature in the shade in the forties (coming on Thursday!).

    They are indeed! We have the model before this latest update, in a GT 2.5. Beautiful machine. Took us all to Melbourne and back last hear, so 3 adults and 2 late teens all tall and luggage. Amazing economy, comfort and grunt. The 10 speaker Harmon Karden was fun.

    Cheers.
    Ps. Nice colour

    Yep, that is a nice soft Red unlike some makes which are a harsh red & was #2 in the colour stakes for us as well, but not having a Red Persona & taking into consideration the Oz climate decided on the white.. Also surprising how well their white stands out in foggy conditions for some reason. Something to do with particles of ground Sea Shell or summat.
    When we picked her up the car out of the doors in front of us was that red. The bloke had only had her for 15 minutes & promptly pranged into summat in the forecourt. The look on his face was priceless, poor bastard. "How am I going to explain this to wifey"? look.

    I loved the hue of my Montpellier Disco but, the Chawton is infinitely more practical and robust.
