Yanks get the four-door Focus rival, but we’ll hang on for the five-door...
The Mazda3 was revealed in its four-door shape. That won’t have us clearing the homepage, because it’s the five-door that’s the seller in Britain and we won’t see that until early next year.
Anyway, the four-door’s shape is cleaned up. There’s a dental job in the form of the new corporate five-sided grille. The front wings have gone all Megane-ish.
Underneath, it’s the same Mazda3 we’ve always had, with only comparatively small suspension and engine tweaks.
