New 2010 MS3 spotted in Canada

[MaikuMS3]

yes it is.

i think thats a regular mazda 3 MPC. not mazdaspeed 3... i think... if it is a mazdaspeed 3 it should have the "mazdaspeed 3" emblem.

I wish my center console looked like that

 

[Donas64]

MPS (underneath right tail light) = Mazdaspeed3 in other markets I thought.

You are correct.

 

[MaikuMS3]

[stageup]

[sebspeed3]

[stageup]

[TKMS3]

Someone noticed it looks like a beaver

 

[ViPeR689]

Too many buttons on the steering wheel...

 

[jaxmazda5]

little too much overhang in the front. i like it though.

USDM doesnt get the black bumper insert.

Well Tacoma being so close to Canada they could be for them? But either way I wonder what the price of getting the edm/jdm insert would be. Or paint it I guess.



Also pissed about the heated seats.... I want.

I like the interior a lot, but the rest of the car is to busy, and as soon as you lose sight of the hood duct it loses all of it agressive looks. They also should have put bigger rims on it. with all of the bugling curves the rims look to small for the car.

I still think the enlarged spoiler and front facia is stupid looking.

More sporty...

The back of the car is wider, sleeker with less height. Dual exhaust, wider tires and larger spoiler, IMO, also make the car look sportier and more aggressive.

I agree about the rims, it does look too small, especially vs the 1st generation.

The car as a whole is a big improvement. From pics, aside from red, the smiley grill blends in and looks fine.

there is no such thing as a mazda 3 "mpc".

 

[ND4MSP]

autobot or decepticon?

I sort of liked it until I saw the one pic of it next to the 1st gen ms3

JDM doesnt get it either. just verified it with some JDM mazdaspeed axela owners.

Or paint it I guess.

easiest solution.

If I had to guess, I'd say back up camera or push button release to pop the hatch. (spin)

The one in the centre pops the hatch, the button on the taillight locks the hatch and all four doors. Same as on the regular 2010 Mazda3 Sport with the keyless start.

IIRC our Canadian cars have to come into port in Vancouver due to trade/tax/customs laws.

I was the one who brought the car out to that meet.

I think one of the pics of the interior shows the boost gauge. The regular 3 would not have this. Plus, doesn't it have the mazdaspeed 3 emblem?

Overall, really liking the looks. With a black one, the smile all but disappears, not a big fan of the tail lights, but will grow on me, just like the grill.

Only the North American car has the Mazdaspeed3, the Euro (and I think Australia) say Mazda3 MPS and the JDM car is Mazdaspeed Axela. If you look at the picture posted you'll see the MPS badge on the side of the hatch.
