2017~2024 Brand new truck with spongy/soft brakes.

It's from the 6 platform, which is wider than the 3. We own both and its quite noticeable. Mazda uses a sort of modular system for their platforms so they seem to be able to easily tweak them here and there.

Also your picture is of a CX-5 next to a CX-3. The CX-3 is based on the Mazda 2, which is smaller than the 3.
Yes the Mazda CX-3 is based on Mazda 2 platform.


But then we're actually both right.

IIRC the wheelbase is similar to the 3 while other dimensions are shared with 6. The 6 is a little longer too. Seems that it's easier to adjust length than width.
