Mazda3 Hatch Revealed

by Justin Berkowitz

Published: November 25th, 2008

While the Mazda3 hatch will officially debut in Bologna in about a week, they’ve released some oddly-angled and useless shots of the car already. Like the current generation Mazda3 sedan and hatch, the 2010 5-door Mazda3 looks quite a lot like the 2010 Mazda3 sedan that we saw in LA. Which is fine. Hey, we all appreciate more hatches, right? No word yet from Mazda if the 5-door car will have both the 2.0 and 2.5 liter engines available in the U.S., or if like the present Mazda3 5-door only the bigger engine will be offered.

[UPDATE: Gallery fixed. Darn computermajigs]

What will it take for them to get rid of those bloody huge triangular blind spots, I mean D-pillars?

It’s also worth noting that most insurance plans have glass replacement options that can make the repair a low- or zero-cost issue. "Now I understand why my insurance is so high despite no claims for years and about 7,500 annual miles between three cars.
