The hatch is wow! The sedan is boring. The hatch is very different in a market with enough compacts to forget ... The sedan is boring, too conservative to be an all new car. The interior is not modern enough... looks dated. The screen is so small!, but the general design is pleasant and looks builded with good materials.
But if you miss the old Mazda 3 design, you can buy a brand new Focus hatch! (at least in Europe and China).
