Reviews of Mazda 3 owners (found on the Internet)

• For me, this is a normal clearance, if there were more, it would affect the dynamics. I drive through a policeman with a full load, I don’t catch anything. It is worth noting that the car is still new - the mileage is only 400 km, but all the same, conclusions can already be drawn. We'll see in the winter.

• It seems normal, I don’t know exactly how much I have, but obviously not less than one hundred and fifty

• The ground clearance is just awful. Four garages and I can’t drive into any of them normally.

• There are Focus and Mazda 3. Focus — obviously higher clearance.

• Speed ​​bumps pass somehow. For me it's low.

• I have a new Mazda. Colleague's old body. We put 2 cars one-to-one, the result: the ground clearance is 1-2 cm less for the old one.

• The clearance is normal, I even drive around the village every day, I drive carefully everywhere. For 3,500 kilometers I hooked it once, and then in the yards on the curb.

• Drove 4000. Already several times on the belly in the yard sat down!

• Previously, on the old one with the usual protection, the bottom clung to everything. Now put on a new protection made of carbon polymer alloy. It's only bugged out a couple of times so far. (already 9000 km)

• 15 cm is quite normal, I had three three years ago, it seemed to sit high, it hit the country road less often than a Muscovite ...

• And we had snow piled up last week, so I was like a bulldozer rowing snow with my front bumper. I don't go to yards at all. So matryoshka is a summer version of the car. You need to think about what to take for the winter.

Exterior Mazda 3 2014

This car is released in sedan and hatchback body styles. External changes the models are not particularly radical, but are immediately noticeable. In particular, this model received a fresh bumper, equipped with a modified “mouth” of the air intake. In addition, the front optics of the car was slightly modified, and fresh lights and a modified bumper were installed at the back. Improvements to this plan provided an opportunity to significantly improve the aerodynamics of the car. The collection of body colors is 8 pcs.

Despite its rather compact appearance, this new model Mazda 3 third generation is rather big. Trend recent years of all automakers are developments for the sake of aerodynamics, i.e. lowering the height of the car body. This trend touched the third generation Mazda 2014 - 20 mm, which equals 1450 mm. At the same time, the width and wheelbase new car increased by 40 and 60 mm, i.e. up to 1795 and 2700 mm respectively. The length of the machine has remained unchanged and is equal to 4460 mm.

The interior of the new Mazda 3 2014

The interior of Mazda 3 New has new finishing materials. There is a higher-quality black plastic, silver inserts "aluminum look" are added, the seats are trimmed with a strong and beautiful fabric (leather is an option for an additional fee).

In addition, engineers Mazda finalized the auto transmission lever and improved the display located on the central panel. The list of options has been replenished with adaptive bi-xenon headlights, as well as a tracking system for the so-called “blind” zones. At first glance, the instrument panel seems rather complicated. But literally after 10 minutes. “Communication” is clear that the electrician does not cause problems just all this and the machines of the first series of the “troika” lacked.

Driver and passengers connecting smartphone with via Bluetooth or USB, get free access to a "cloud" platform called Aha. This platform provides infotainment services, including 30,000 radio stations, as well as access to Facebook and Twitter. Thanks to the speech translator function, it is possible to listen to the latest tweets or Facebook posts. You can leave a "like" or post audio messages, receive or send email, as well as SMS messages - in this case, the sender's name will be visible on the display, and the message itself will be read by the machine!

All information of an entertaining nature is displayed on a rigidly fixed touch screen monitor located in the center of the panel. For information related to driving and car safety, new Mazda 3 2014 meets the projection retractable display bearing the name Active Driving Display and located above the instrument visor. According to engineers, it provides an opportunity to minimize distraction from the process of driving a car.

The engineers of this automaker company say quite a lot that the interior of the Mazda 3 has been significantly enlarged. Indeed, the front seats are quite comfortable, designed taking into account all the ergonomic features of the human spine, and there is enough space in front of the cabin and even more than in previous models.

But the increase in space in the back seat, as well as the level of comfort in this part of the car, are not as significant as the developers claim and are not particularly noticeable to some passengers. For example, a tall passenger, when landing behind a tall driver, does not have enough room for his knees, and the process of entering and exiting a car is not very convenient for him due to the low roofline of the car. Mazda bodies 3.

As for the trunk, its volume at the “three rubles” has slightly decreased. At the same time, in the trunks of this car model European version there is a tire repair kit, and their volume in the hatchback and sedan is 308 liters and 408 liters, respectively. IN Russian Federation it is expected that machines will be supplied with “stowaways”, which, figuratively speaking, will “eat up” a considerable share of its usable volume - the floor niches in the machines are small, you can measure only about 70 mm.

Specifications Mazda 3 2014

In the photo the body of the hatchback and sedan

Besides, car body sedan and hatchback significantly strengthened, resulting in a significant increase in its rigidity.

The most tenacious brakes (by the way, there are ventilated disc brakes in front and rear in all trim levels), a clear and predictable functioning of the car's suspension, its sharp handling and productive engines guarantee the temptation for drivers to "drive". Although the Mazda 3 is not a supercar, this car model is one of the hottest hatchbacks that is more powerful than its 2-liter counterparts.

The resource of all parts of the "running" Mazda 3 is to match the so-called "indestructible" Volkswagen, and steering and its brakes will absolutely not cause trouble to the owners of the car. This significantly removes the “C grade”, especially the third generation, from its gentle and not very reliable predecessor 323.

Mazda 3 in the first version became one of the leaders in class C sales.

Nothing lasts forever, but in the modern auto world with its fierce competition, retain leadership positions difficult. The premieres of the new Mazda 3, based on continental body preferences, took place strictly within the rules of marketing science.

When reviewing the 2012 Mazda 3, you notice that in the front of the car, the bumper seems to combine a false radiator grille and a front aerodynamic element. The "smile" of the central air intake, along with an aesthetic load, carries a practical one, it is designed to guide air currents For efficient cooling motor.

The front fairing in its arsenal also boasts side slots for air ducts with fog lights integrated into it. Almond-shaped front lighting is a "watershed" between the hood and rounded front wheel arches. A profile view of the Mazda 3 2012 shows the swift lines of the sidewalls, gently flowing down to the stern of the roof, they embody the dynamics and sporting orientation of Mazda's car.

Driver and passenger seats with an extended cushion and a wide range of adjustments (optionally with electric drive). The first row is comfortable and convenient, which cannot be said about the seats in the second row. There is still a shortage of legroom in the back, only two people can comfortably accommodate. Salon Mazda 3 evokes the idea of ​​similarity interior decoration modern machines. Made like high quality and beautiful, but boring. Only the "assistant" helps to distinguish the salons - the manufacturer's logo on the steering wheel. The first Mazda 3 was embarrassing with poor sound insulation, the engineers managed to improve its performance (by as much as 10%).

Mazda 3 is, of course, the success of the manufacturer. The car combines a successful modern design and specifications. In addition, it has high level cabin comfort combined with excellent handling and reasonable price. In the first version, the Troika was the undisputed sales leader among cars in its class. The only negative was the clearance of the Mazda 3.

Design Mazda 3

There is nothing eternal in the world, and it is very difficult to maintain a leadership position in the world of the automotive industry. Note that the premiere of the Mazda car took place strictly according to the rules of marketing and advertising. In addition, advertisers also used continental body preferences. So, for example, the sedan was presented during the show in Los Angeles. And in the back of a hatchback, Mazda was represented in Italy. Inhabitants European countries prefer hatchbacks. While in America Mazda 3 is going with a bang in the 2012 version. The same body remained for model range 2013.

Appearance The trio is based on the manufacturer's corporate identity and car design, the so-called Nagare, which means a flowing stream of water. This design is applicable not only to the Mazda 3, but also to the deuce and triple.

If you review the car, you can see that front bumper is a unifying element, it connects the front aerodynamic elements and the grille. The central air intake carries not only an aesthetic load, but also a practical one. It is necessary in order to control the air flows and direct them in such a way that the motor is cooled at an effective level. In the side slots of the air duct, there are built-in fog lights located in the front fairing. The front lighting is located between the hood and the front wheel arches, which is also a watershed.

If you look at the profile of the car, you can see the sweeping lines on the side, which gently flock to the stern of the Mazda 3, which embodies the car's sporty direction and dynamics. The lighting technology of the car is “borrowed” from the older Mazda 6.

Clearance and dimensions

Despite a number of changes, the new trio remained recognizable, retaining the old familiar features, but became more harmonious. The increase in length is one of the changes in the model. The car has become longer from 45 to 90 mm, the length of the car depends solely on the type of body.

The Mazda 3 is 4580 mm long if it is a sedan and 4460 mm if it is a hatchback. The width of the car is 1755, the height is 1470, the Mazda base is 2640 mm.

When discussing the dimensions of the car, it is necessary to say what is the clearance of the Mazda 3. Actually standard - 155 mm.

Vehicle interior

Devices of the car are located in separate "wells". The Mazda salon has a comfortable "grasping" steering wheel, the seats in front are quite comfortable, besides there is lateral support. Which is typical in these cars. The front seats have a fairly wide range of adjustment options. Unlike the front seats, we note that passengers who use seats in the second row are unlikely to feel comfortable enough. There is a former lack of space, no more than two people can comfortably accommodate.

Like all machines of this model range, they have quality salon, everything is beautiful, but rather meager and boring. Salons can be distinguished only by the logo on the steering wheel. The first Mazda 3 cars were distinguished by poor sound insulation, but the manufacturer managed to improve the figure by ten percent.

Specifications

Mazda 3 sedan has a luggage compartment of four hundred and thirty liters. A hatchback - three hundred and forty, it is possible to fold rear seats, which will significantly increase the size of the trunk.

Mazda has both front and rear suspension are independent. The rear is multi-link, and the front with MacPherson struts.

In Russia, Mazda can be purchased at gasoline engines, a diesel car is not yet delivered to our country. The box can be automatic or manual, the engine is 1.6 liters, 105 horsepower, there is also a two-liter engine, with 150 horsepower and five-speed automatic transmission gears. There is also an option and a Mazda 3 with an engine - 2.3, horses - two hundred and sixty, a box - mechanics, six steps.

In Europe, it is possible to buy a car on a diesel engine. There are three such options:

• 1.6 liters - 115 hp
• 2.2 liters - 150 hp
• 2.2 liters - 185 hp

All three options have a six-speed manual box.

It can also be noted that the suspension is harsh, as the manufacturers say, this was done to maintain a sporty style. Gasoline consumption will not be very high, and the tank is designed for 51 liters, which is certainly a plus.

What else can be noted is the clearance of the Mazda 3 of 2014, it still remains, despite a number of auto updates - 155 mm. Many motorists say that the car is low, and come up with various variations to increase the clearance of the Mazda 3. In the official service center you are unlikely to do so. Since it can be withdrawn automatically warranty obligations on a hanger. It is possible to increase the clearance of the Mazda 3 independently or in the service. But the clearance of mm will increase by 30 maximum, but problems with the stability of the car may begin, which will serve as drifts. Clearance, in other words, the ground clearance of a car, is not at all suitable for off-road. Note that manufacturers this car positioned precisely as a sporty and urban. Because of what the actual clearance of the Mazda 3 is so small.
