CX5, CX7, CX9...so, when do we get a CX3?

I like the look of the front end. huge improvement over the smiley face.

Initial impression: Negatory.
Looks awkward and powerless. First the Mazda2 and now this? Sigh...at least Obama's happy with the results:rolleyes:

I definitely agree with the front end being much better.

i dunno i personally love the mazda 2. not everyone wants power like us. and the mazda 2 has plenty of power to get it up to the speedlimit and to hold it there. which is all most people need. A to B. then B to A and park with as few gas stops as possible. some radio, good ac/heat. and easy to park

Exactly! None of my friends are remotely interested in cars, they just want them to start and drive without issue.

That's how I used to feel too. Until I drove a Hyundai Accent for a few years. I literally had to floor it, just to keep up (or should I say, not get run over from behind) with traffic. It sucked. I'm not looking for a rocket ship, just peppy enough to be defensive and/or be able to get on it when needed.

Just my .02 is all...

Yep, that's how most of my family is. My sister talks about how great her 99 Geo Prizm is that she's had since it was new. But it starts every time and gets her where she needs to go and that's all she needs. Personally, I would shoot myself in the face before driving her car. Ok that might be a little bit of an exaggeration, but I would hate life, lol.

Where's the Mazdaspeed Turbo version?
I prefer my Mazdas with ZOOM ZOOM over "kodo".
Is this thing All Wheel drive?

God the juke is uglier in person than on the commercials. That one have a different front end? I thought the headlights were not rounand.crept up to the hood/fender.

erod550 · Postby **erod550** » Wed Aug 03, 2011 9:14

No that's the regular front end. They are ugly beyond belief in person. Then again about the only thing Nissan makes these days that isn't fugly is the 370Z and the GT-R. I hate the Cube, Juke, Leaf, Rogue, Murano, Sentra, Versa, Quest. The Altima I wouldn't say I hate but I don't like it and the Maxima is ok, and the Pathfinder and Titan are ok.

Postby **RX-7 Chris** » Wed Aug 03, 2011 9:14

The Juke is the ugliest new car IMO.
