2010 Mazda 3 Sport 5-Door

The Mazda 3 has always been associated with fun driving. Sales from the series account for a third of the brand’s sales, proving just how popular it is. The look of the 2010 Mazda 3 Sport 5-Door obviously borrows from earlier versions.
2010 Mazda 3 Sport 5-Door has a base price of $ 19,900.00. Constructed from steel unibody, it is powered by the DOHC 16-valve I-4 with horsepower of 167 hp at 6000 rpm and torque of 168 lb-ft at 4000 rpm. Standard equipment includes the 6-speed manual transmission, ABS, front/side/and curtain airbags, push button ignition with intelligent key, power windows/locks and mirrors, Bluetooth, auxiliary audio input, and tire pressure monitoring system. Options include the Moonroof/Bose Package for $ 1,395.00 and the Technology Package for $ 1,195.00. The former includes the 242 watts Bose Centerpoint 10-speaker Surround Sound, Moonroof with one touch open and in-dash 6-disc changer. The latter includes color display with compact nav screen, advanced keyless system with push-button start, and the Sirius satellite radio with 6-months subscription.
The 5-door hatchback proves its versatility by transporting personal cargo, maintaining stability and traction control in spite of unusual road situations and incredible chassis tuning. The 2010 Mazda 3 Sport 5-Door dons the new five-point grille to give it an updated look, while its interior benefits from more sophistication and lushness. It can only actually sit four passengers comfortably instead of the advertised five. Trunk capacity is augmented when rear seats are folded down.
Front-occupant comfort has greatly improved when compared to the experience from previous models. Smooth and fun free engine operation is observed even during power peak. You can expect to get a fairly comfortable ride in this Mazda 3.
But what’s this horrible tire noises that manifest themselves when driving over uneven road surfaces? There seems to be just too much noise that comes through the floor. Mazda has been working in reducing the noise levels in the cabin but results appear to be disappointing.
Although outgoing Mazda 3 models obtained acceptable marks for crush-test data, the 2010 Mazda 3 Sport 5-Door is yet to undergo a test with the NHTSA or IIHS. Prospective buyers are given a choice of 8 exterior colors and 2 interior colors. What makes the Mazda 3 particularly special is the integration of luxury items in a relatively lower-priced vehicle. This highlights the brand’s effort to make previously unavailable options, within reach of buyers.
