Any reported problems?? After readingbthis forum.. Sounds like Mazdas have some issues. Was interested in a 2010 3.

 

problem 1: its hideous
problem 2: its ergonomically flawed on so many levels

But seriously i heard very little complaints (since sane ppl refuse to buy this car), the only ones ive heard of is about the gps acting a little goofy and the headunit. Just save your self the embarrassment and get an older year.

 

1) I use my phone for GPS
2) I always replace the headunit. To me they all suck no matter what year

So I'm good

lol I just wanted to be a jackass... I'd only get a 2010 if it were black and a hatch. Otherwise... no thanks.

 

Don't hold back, Travis. Tell us how you REALLY feel.

Personally, I have yet to see one in person, but so far the only things I like about the "10" are the round fog lights, only available on the MS3, and the sides. The rear end I can take or leave, the front, well.....?

Mazda alienated a WHOLE bunch of current Mazda3 owners with this change.

 

I've seen a couple in person and they looked really nice. The smile isn't as noticeable in person.

The problems I've heard of were the GPS, and some people were complaining about the BT connection with their phones, namely it dropping it's connection with the phone. They weren't sure if it was because of the car or the phone however.

 

If you read any forum about any kind of car you're bound to find some complaints in the bunch.

I've seen the 2010's on the road. looks much better in person than in pics.

 

Unfortunately I've seen the new Mazda 3 10, and I have to say it's UGLY!!!!!

 

Seeing it in person only backs up the uglyness that we see in the pictures of it.
As for the hatchback, there is nothing attractive about it.
Bob.

 

well if i bought one, it'd definitely be black.

The black paint helps "hide" the smile in the front so it's WAAAY less noticeable.

 

It's funny how you have to buy it in black to hide the way it looks.
