Hey guys!
Today i drove the new Mazda 3 hatch and i was impressed by its incredible all round abilities. It is very well made with high for the price range quality extremely well made interior and very efficient engine. I ve driven with this about 500 km and with carefully driving i ve measure an estimate 6l per 100 km this is bellow class average and all this with out the help of a full hybrid system or downsizing. Mazda engineers still believe in the evolution of the combustion engine and this score simply talks about their decision. The car in the rear it isnt very spacious but the trunk took easily the bags of four passengers. The ride quality was better than expected since the new 3 has an archaic torsion beam rear suspension instead of the usual in the class multi link independent suspension. This it has been a surprise for me and still i dont think that this is the right suspension for a car which performs in a quite competitive segment. According to Mazda engineers production costs are kept low by installing this suspension What do you think about this reduction or downgrade?.Please share bellow your thoughts about that.

Multi link rules :) (in general, but torsion bar is more practical)

Yes agreed! A sporty car like this should had a multi link rear suspension!
