The six-disc in-dash changer was a welcome, if lonely, tech option for shuttling around the Monterey peninsula. But as the CD rotation began repeating early in day two of our four-day jaunt, we found ourselves wishing the SAT button on the dash wasn't just a tease on our test car Sirius is the available satellite radio option, but our car was not so equipped. We played the albums stored on our Sony Ericsson ka through the auxiliary audio input to switch things up a bit.
Our little Mazda3 feels outclassed among all the classic automotive beauty at the Pebble Beach Concours. Sound from all sources through the standard audio system is nothing special, with six speakers one in each door and two tweeters in the upper dash and limited adjustability options.
Bass-heavy tracks didn't produce the lows we're used to hearing no matter how much we punched up the bass, which wasn't too surprising given the speaker setup. Knobs were present that appeared to offer further degrees of sound-processing choices, but must have been waiting for the Bose system because they had no effect in our car. Fuel economy over a mixed-driving long weekend trip is a good indicator of real-world running expenses, and over about miles of everything from open-highway cruising to crawling in traffic into and out of crowded events, we averaged The EPA rates the Mazda3 at 22 mpg in the city and 30 on the highway, putting our figure right in the middle of the estimated range.
Our tendency to push the envelope slightly for evaluation purposes probably adversely affected economy. In the cabin While the Mazda3's interior let us down a bit in our hunger for tech, it is not an unpleasant place to be. Comfortable and supportive front and rear seats all offer good legroom, and as noted above, everything has a quality feel to it and is screwed together skillfully.
We never scoff at simple manual seat adjustment controls and also appreciate the presence of a tilting and telescoping steering wheel to make the best driving position easy to find. The usual modern choice of faux brushed-metal trim offsetting dark plastic was pleasant enough if nothing groundbreaking. The trunk is relatively spacious with the seats up, and the shape of the space is useful.
We liked the low liftover height of the trunk opening and the space provided by the lid's high open position, but were confounded by our inability to close it smoothly with a single motion it seems to require first pulling down on the lower edge of the open trunk panel, then slamming it shut from above with the palm. The stereo had very little to offer besides its six-disc changer and an aux input.
The gauge cluster is clear and glare-free thanks to three deep overlapping binnacles housing the main dials: one for the tach, one for the speedo, and one for the fuel and temp gauges. The single-line LCD readout is similarly hooded and very readable in all conditions with its soft orange background.
This display shows outside temperature as well as CD number and track time or radio frequency. The aux jack is well-located next to a volt power outlet in the center armrest, with an opening to allow a cord to come through. Pricing Specs Equipment.
