New Mazda3 is due in Australian showrooms in late January but we've just driven it on the outskirts of Los Angeles.
First impressions? It's more Euro-Asian than ever before, both in the way it looks and drives.
The key things current Mazda3 owners probably want to know:
-- it's quieter and more fuel efficient than before
-- it is loaded with technology such as Pandora and Aha (opening up 40,000 internet radio stations on the high grade models)
-- some models wil be able to read out email and social media messages
-- top end models have auto emergency braking and radar cruise control
-- Australia-bound Mazda3s don't get the regenerative braking technology that's on the Mazda6 and was recalled for possibly catching fire
-- the suspension on the 2.5-litre models is softer than before but the base model feels firmer and less comfortable
-- the so-called sporty 2.5 litre engine is disappointing, but the 2.0-litre in the base model is surprisingly perky (by small-car standards)
-- the visibility isn't as bad as we were expecting, despite the tapered roofline
-- the boot is slightly smaller in both the sedan and hatch
-- both models are slightly smaller on the outside but inside roominess is the same
