Sorry folks, link now works. Braking performance could've been better. Another thing, I bet people are gonna start painting that "upper lip" on the grille.

I really like the car. I wish they turned this into a speed version. I like the sedan a lot and I really dont love hatchbacks.

I hate that plastic mustache that everyone seems to be using now.

The existing plastic panels are mustaches. That thing on the new 3 isn't a mustache, it is a tongue. Just wait till someone with the tan 3 paints that thing lipstick red. And if we make cars with "faces" on them, that one's cheeks are sagging.

Sorry, I really don't like that look.

But we can't stop staring at the Mazda 3's grille. It's hideous.

How is it possible they built a great car I'd buy in an instant but the designer sneezed over the grill...?

Theyve put this stupid mustache on a bunch of new cars.

A few of the top of my head are New RX8, 370Z, 3.

That mustache fails miserably on all cars IMHO.

Looks like a good car, other than the way it looks. I give her body a 7 and her face a 1.

What do you all expect, it looks like the new R3.. which undoubtedly is ugly as sin.

I told an R3 owner in person his car was ugly, I just felt so compelled..
