cx4 seems like it would just cannibalize the mazda 3 hatch... these days people love small suvs, if you make a form factor that is the size of a regular hatch then you'll have a winner

The current CX-3 has the same ground Clearance as a regular 2014-2018 Mazda3 Hatchback, the CX-3 has a smaller cargo volume and higher center of gravity due to higher roof line.
I don't understand the appeal of the CX-3...

I don't understand the appeal of the CX-3... | As a person that owes a CX-3 I can say this. Mine is lowered on Corksport springs so any height advantage it has is gone, it just looks damn cool. Based off the Mazda 2 rather than the 3 it's big enough for most. My 5'2 wife loves it as it's perfect for her.

I hate the marketing term skyactiv. It’s a bullshit moniker for known technologies.

you think '13:1 compression ratio petrol direct injection' is a better name for the average car buyer?

Late to the party, but I've been seeing more and more on the streets... Man, they are such good looking cars. I prefer the sedan over the hatchback this time around.
I have a brand new rental CX-5 right now whilst the CX-9 is in the shop, do they use the same motor in the 3? It has a nice induction noise in sport mode, and it shifts so fast ! I am loving the new generation Mazdas.

I have seen a new hatchback in Soul Red near my house.
The hatch isn't as bad as it was in the pictures, bit I still way prefer the looks of the sedan.

I drove a friend's '18 hatch in Ontario and both this aspects were not very comfortable at highway cruising (140km/h)

Overall smoother and quieter ride than the previous generation, and the GT's sound quality on the Bose sound system is also much better than the ones previously.

Looking to get a 2nd car and the GS trim's MSRP pricing and options look pretty good.
I'm guessing these are selling like hot cakes so chances of price negotiation will be marginal?
