    Bose sound system isn't the greatest.

    Wasn't happy with the system that was in the mazda that i tinted today. they may have updated the later one though.

    Yep, your right, but it's only around 50-100 bucks less...Click here to enlarge

    Still I agree, you get more car and a much improved and better interior and drive for a slightly less outlay than he previous model, definitely a good thing Click here to enlarge

    Your right too !

    It ain't the greatest, but it's not that bad either...certainly alot better than alot of other even more expensive car types factory stereo systems Click here to enlarge

    It packs around 240watts and features a sub amongst the 10 or so speakers...

    Thing is Bose factory systems on other cars like Audis arn't the greatest either - but having heard both the Bose system in a new TTS and the Bose in the MPS 3 I may wrong or it may be the acoustics of the car, but the system in the Mazda sounded much better than that in the TTS...

    The B&O is definitely better than Bose - at least the ones they're putting in cars anyway...

    Audi are considering B&O across their whole range now, not just some of their models Click here to enlarge

    good decision IMO.

    back on topic, mazda 3 might be growing on me. I have actually had my own ideas about its smile. using either vinyl or painting it you could cut across the top 2 corners and give it an agressive look.

    Hmmm, already looks aggressive enough IMHO, I would be trying to tame it down/hide it a bit...

    Mazda have achieved what they set out to do and ie. make it stand out more compared to the previous model being either too conservative or too similar looking to the rest of the Mazda 3 range...kudos on them, thing is the result is either one you like or hate, don't think there's any middle ground with this car, (looks wise) although I do think that if you like it a little it will definitely grow more on you and I suspect if people drive one, they'll fall for it despite reservations on its looks...Click here to enlarge

    That's what happened to my mate who has the outgoing model, he test drove it, it blew him away and he bought one that same day...

    He'd also test driven the Focus Xr5T and Golf Gti, but was undecided and not convinced on both of those, says alot about the outgoing MPS3 and this new one by the reviews so far is alot better - can't wait to test drive it myself Click here to enlarge
