Pros: sporty style yet elegant that will age gracefully, the minimum projection in the front and back, the position of impressive (especially with the lights on), alloy wheels 17 inches in the GT models.
Cons: Stock antenna is huge, 17-inch wheel style is mediocre.
When ordering our long period 2008.5 Mazda 3 s GT specifications were sure out with the option available to almost all the single exception of the factory navigation (We went with a Garmin Nuvi 760 instead).
The upper end of 2008.5 Mazda 3 s GT car models equipped with more aggressive styling cues like a body color grille split sportier bumper design, clear LED taillights and all-season tires wrapped around 17-inches. With a combination of sharp edges and flowing body lines typically found in luxury cars, entry-level, the Mazda3 is a real head turner and is often mistaken as a car costing $ 30,000 or more.
On the issue of appearance, the design of the 17-inch alloy wheels left us a little confused. Mazda freshened the wheels with a new design, but the latest style snowflake wheels 17 "seems out of place in a car with such sporting intentions clear. Despite the snowflakes, the 2008.5 Mazda 3 has a very dominant position and is very strong in the pictures.
Something that has plagued the Mazda 3 design since 2004 Mazda is the option of using a long antenna in the center of the rear of the car to give it a more European. While we agree that the placement of the antenna looks sporty and euros, is also too large. In fact, values of the antenna is larger than a few inches high and protrudes from the Mazda 3 as the Elroy Jetson hat.
Our first mod for our Mazda 3 was to change the antenna with a shark FIN.
Other notable features include its Once outside (folding), electric mirrors, Auto on / off the headlights that come automatically at dusk, fog lights, rain sensor and adjustable HID headlights can be adjusted to one of four levels (zero is when the lights are pointing at your highest level of three objectives and the lights low to the ground that is ideal for fog).
In general, the 2008.5 Mazda 3 is very well built, with striking exterior design elements and important luxury-oriented options to not only make driving safer, but much more convenient. Both the lighting of his way through thick fog or automatic detection and keeping the windshield rain at different speeds, the Mazda 3 makes driving easier and more fun.
