Nissan, judgment withheld on 370Z which I haven't driven (and the GT-R, which doesn't exactly count) doesn't get "zoom zoom." Mazda gave the world the wonderful little Mazda3, a joy to drive even in it's slowest, crappiest form. What shining light did Nissan gift us with in the Mazda3's segment? The Sentra?

Mazda has always been a Japanese BMW (especially now, with the choice of...unusual styling), they get what a driver's car needs. I mean, they built the Miata, the world's greatest car. Nissan's attempt to get back into the enthusiast fold was the 350Z, which turned out to be less than the sum of it's parts. Maybe there's a reason Mazda has so much support behind Mazdaspeed and Nissan pulled out of North American motorsports in 2007...

Don't make fun of the Sentra. Without Sentras, Calibers, Neons, and Versas, meth addicts would all be roaming the streets on foot.

The original 3 really was a stupidly good car, even the 2.0L base model, as you said. This is probably because the preceding Protege was also a stupidly good car.

At any rate, if a little too grandiose, it was a very good commercial, sort of like the Honda "Impossible Dream" commercial. As a committed Mazdafarian, I dig it.


Makes me want another MX5.

Reminded me of my childhood...

man i miss those days.

I like my zoom-zoom with a throaty V-8. Mazda no deliver. I'll still take an FC or a Miata...

[ProudNissanFreak]

I love Mazda's. My dad had a 626 from back in the day, it was a nice car.

[IBCoupe]

My roommate lives and breathes Mazda. It kinda turned me off. Kinda like how growing up near a metropolitan area turned me off of Civics for life.

Hey.. You think after I'm done fixing the neon I have money left over for meth?

[Jesda]

LOL!!!

[Gold Digger]

Anyone notice the beautiful Cosmo in that video? Those are beautiful cars.

Very good commercial, too.

[skydragoness]

Truth be told, I love the Miata.
Good vid, seeing glimpses of the last RX-7 made me a little sad.

Hell, the Protege/Mazda 3 are fun little cars. I should get a Protege for a daily/winter car before the end of this year. Hmm.

I like my zoom-zoom with a throaty V-8.

Is that like a V8 that takes it in all cylinders?

[nissangirl74]

Not a big fan of Mazda's but the video was cool. I prefer my Datsuns and Nissans.
