what a disappointment... it looks so chunky but is quite small inside. looks like that fat exchange student kid from the Simpsons... Utter.

To me, the Protege is way more sexier! And the Echo hatch and Scion xA and xB have them both bent over their knee and spanked.

Echo hatch!

It looks tiny and awkward, but there's something about it that I really like...

Don't be ragging on Ford products unnecessarily.

The Mazda3, next gen USDM Focus, Volvo S40, and the EU Ford C-Max are almost identical mechanically. Style and exterior body panels make them unique. And each one of those vehicles has been getting rave reviews from the industry.

Just like Mitsu is making Dodge's better, Mazda and Ford EU are having a positive effect on Ford US... it's all good.

MP3 is a nice looking car. But I am still not a Mazda fan. That kid's god damn ZOOM ZOOM song totally drove me to the wall.

Offtopic, I do like Echo a lot. Yes extremely small (2dr) but man I love small cars. It makes loving making exciting and whatnot.

Benz's Smart will be available in Canada this year I heard? That will be an interesting car to see.

Small cars ownz j00! But then again, when you get crashed in a small car, you will get owned like little helpless boyz in MJ's house YO!

echo hatch, beautiful, only thing with echos.. i coudlnt' point my finger on it before, but i think i know what it is now, its got extreeemely small wheelwells, i think it could only fit a 15... maybe 16 tops, looks soo small, and windows seem to start high up, i dont know, the hatch is still sweet tho

the echo actually comes w/ 175/65/14 tire/rim size
thats the same size as the civics no?

GinoLicious

I like them. And i really like how the interior is set up. And how the guages are as well.

Nova_Dust

I believe Civic is 185 instead of 175.

spracingsports

bruno, dont even get me started on the ugly *** box of a car scion, xB, the actual hatch one, the xA is "ok" but the xB is butt *** ugly

I like the mazda 3 as well

showcivic

mazda 6 + rx8 = mazda 3

Mirai Trunks

I think the wheel wells may look small because of the combination of small wheels and the fact that the car sits high. seen a few Echos with 17s running 205/40/17 tires. Its do-able! some say that they would rub but the people who have done it say they dont, except if there are 4 people in the car on a pot whole...i may find out in the next couple months.

Bring back the crx, Honda !
What are you waiting for !!!!!!!

Test drove the hatch and its amazing

SPOONfed

At the dealership I work at they're selling tons of them. I've driven both the 2.0 and 2.3 IMO they're both fun to drive. They share the same motor and chasis as the 2005 Focus but that's all. (Remember Ford owns a chunk of Mazda) They're talking about a Mazdaspeed version coming late 2004 or early 2005.

you fail to see potential, and for that you disappoint me

I see awesome potential... it's like a shoebox waiting to be sextified by dropping, chopping, fiberglassing, and so on. Come out on 18s with a chopped top, that would be sick!

The Prophet

I kinda like the mazda 3.... wouldnt give up my honda for it though
