2019 Mazda 3 Hatchback - AWD - 2.5L N/A owner here.
This is a stellar car, and totally underrated in its class.
This is exactly the the kind of car this game was made to have in it.
The car is FWD with AWD option, comes with a 2.5L N/A and a 2.0L Turbo, factory aftermarket body parts (front lip, side skirts, Hatch wing, and rear diffuser) are optional and would fit nicely with in the mod structure of the game.
its not a “hot hatch” really, more in line with the MG3 hatch… whatever subdivision that thing is in, and would probably start high D class, or Just above it low in C. I think based on actual reality, at best it would max out to A class but be its best in B. Even in stock form, this thing handles incredibly with a good set of shoes on it. (Easily as sticky and confident as my lowered '02 Impreza ever was).
And style and class, this car oozes it from every curve. WOW - I’ve owned a lot of nicely styled cars, it’s important to me, but I’ve never owned a car that I just want to stare at, like art. That is what it is… it’s rolling art. It is so beautiful to look at, Sedan or Hatch.
And comfortable, and refined interior - beautiful leather, and a simplistic minimalist interior design.
There are few cars I want to just sit in and relax… this is one… I find myself just sitting in it after I park… I don’t want to leave… I don’t even have to be driving it - it’s so nice in the cabin.
Again, when I think about the essence of the experience of driving, this car ticks all those boxes and then some. …it is exactly the kind of car this game was made to honor and celebrate. I know it’s not popular and tops of the voting lists around here - but it’s also not mob rule, and some times the mob needs to shown new things anyway.
I mean, look at this thing…
Tell me it doesn’t 100% belong in this game!
