2010 Mazda 3 i Touring
Base Price: $17,500
Price as Tested: $18,600
This week, we're driving the 2010 Mazda 3 "i" Touring 4-door sedan, featuring a new, aerodynamic exterior based on its new concept car called Nagare (pronounced "na-ga-reh") that debuted at this year's Los Angeles Auto Show.
The new design features a slippery front-end, noticeable rake and a grille area that has a "smile to it" in a pleasing manner. The "tuner" generation, too, loves Mazda, and with the looks of the concept cars and current offerings, will continue to for a long time to come.
Now in its seventh year of success, front drive Mazda 3 delivers in every manner for those looking for sporty looks and impressive fuel economy. As for daily driving, Mazda 3 is nimble in highway manners and easy to park. Available in Sport, Touring, and Grand Touring versions, all come with a 4-cylinder engine, with "i" prefix models offering a 148-hp 2.0-liter powerplant while "s" versions come with a 167-hp, 2.5 liter design. The exterior improvement emphasizes Mazda 3's great compact car heritage, and answers well to its in-house marketing call of "style and sensibility."
2009 Mazda 6: Flashy
Subaru--I have my instruments on at full brightness at night. The reason I do this is I have the headlight switch on to Auto (Lazy), and every time I drove into the parking garage, the lights would come on and the instruments would disappear (because I wear polarized sunglasses).
So, it's either take my clip-on sunglasses off and on every time I drive under an overpass, into a tunnel, or into a parking garage, or switch my lights on and off manually entering those areas. I decided to leave it in Auto (Lazy) and full brightness.
