Mazda also has a model on the car leaves clients thrilled: the Mazda3. Launch was in May 2003. The Three has it all: In the meantime the three millionth Mazda3 rolled off the assembly. The Compact is the best selling car model of the Japanese automobile manufacturer, built in Japan, China and Thailand, sold in some 90 countries and regions.
The genes of this bestseller, he was conceived as a world car, helped him to a place of honor in the Mazda Zoom-Zoom series. Zoom-zoom? – Mazda says that they wanted “the feeling of exuberance and high spirits”, which arises even in children the joy of movement, re-discover. Can really internalize the Zoom-Zoom onomatopoeia in this country is not well.
Arouse curiosity of the technical codes of the test car: 2.0-liter MZR DISI, i-stop technology. So, sequential fuel injection plus start-stop system, but it is very special. Stop the engine, it comes first, as usual, namely as soon as the car is parked, the gear lever into neutral position and the foot is removed from the clutch pedal. So well-known procedure. Uniquely, however, what happens then. When clutch pedal, the motor starter gets by just a little push. Perfectly will then restart the engine of one of the four cylinder, the piston is positioned so precisely that he can get started immediately. Will be used for restarting the combustion energy. The process is hardly noticeable with a little jerk vonstatten virtually silent, also need in half the time, the conventional starter motor starts. A glance at the tachometer indicates that the crankshaft actually rotates again. For longer lasting start-stop stress in a traffic jam occurred at the test car, however, sometimes even before that had to be entered for the Lautlosstart the clutch pedal a second time.
The test car offered on almost everything, one can come up with the Mazda3. He went to work with 111 kW/151 hp. A decent offer. It is only surpassed by the 2.3-liter turbo unit of a Mazda3 MPS, which develops 191 kW/260 hp. The test car, sport-Line trim level, turned out to be beneficial as initially quieter option. Really only hinted penetrates the operating noise of the gasoline prior to the interior, while being handled with the left pedal. Such a quiet car in the compact format is a rarity.
The interior of the five-door hatchback makes a welcoming impression. After unlocking the driver door one feels spontaneous, to be in good hands in this car. You will be welcomed even a well-sounding muffled chime, lights up the screen of course “zoom-zoom”, as well as speedometer rev counter is already bright red. In addition, signal to the center console light blue column that is already living in the car, even if the engine is still silent. It is just nice to receive.
Driver and front passenger are faced with a cockpit environment, which is in the curved surface while not stunningly failed, but – unlike the very richly larded with key steering wheel – with pleasing retains function keys. The mapping of all that it is possible to operate, at least without much training. Apparently everything is where the driver does, parked on intuitive access, and the shifter.
To the Sports Line additions the comfort automatic air conditioning with separate temperature control for driver and front passenger, front fog lamps, light and rain sensor, auto-dimming inside mirror, five-seat heating for driver and front passenger. Handsfree with voice recognition and Bluetooth are also natural ingredients such as the connections for external audio devices.
To complete the test car’s capability carries the high-end sound system from Bose with a variety of speakers. It brings listening enjoyment. Just listening to the radio the conspicuous silence in the Mazda is involved in the feel-good atmosphere. Only when it becomes increasingly higher speed of wind, rolling and – most recently – a little disturbed by engine noise.
Out the test car did a very useful device: the lane change assistant (RVM), which warns of a light signal in front of mirrors vehicles approaching from behind in an adjacent lane. One wonders why this valuable safety feature is still nil for the vast majority of new cars. As a plus for the safety also proves to be the automatic Notbremswarnblinken. The Mazda3 is one of the models that have it now.
In many ways it was the test car to be dignified. Amazingly willingly offered his hand to his gearbox six forward gears. Each switching operation ran off as smooth as if the transmission really waiting for the upcoming gear shift. Given its pleasant driving performance thanks to an emphasis on comfort, not too soft suspension and an impressive smoothness of the engine, which knows no vibration, you want to put Mazda 3 smoothly into a higher class.
The type can be really fast too, but only if are not spared when accelerating at higher speeds the corridors four and five. According to a statement you do not need to search long. Only minutes at 6,200 rev / the maximum power is delivered, the best torque is reached at 4,500 rpm /. 80 out of speed in sixth gear to try to accelerate quickly, proving to be sluggish endeavor. For brisk driving record has ever serve as the fifth or fourth gear.
Should be noted that the positive overall impression left by the test car, not insignificantly from the demanding sport-line equipment was affected. The higher level of equipment can also be seen on the price. It is clear that Mazda has succeeded with the “triple” an impressive goal throw, which will understandably continue to spread the word.
