Unfortunately, the number of kilometers showing after the fuel gauge drops one bar is more a function of how much the tank the filled rather than the mileage the car is getting. If you overfill the...
Great results. You're at the top of the class. Any tips you can give the rest of us?
I actually have done all my driving in the spring and summer. Haven't had the car for a winter yet. But you're right, Hisakix, about driving conditions. That's why a single result is fairly...

Lots of people in California getting great mpg with the Skyactiv.

Here's another interesting review of the Skyactiv 3 that makes some points I hadn't seen in other reviews. He really likes the manual.

Talked with my Mazda dealer about them and I've decided to do without. I think they'll look goofy in the back and in the front they're likely to drag in snow. Don't need that.

This is the first one but it looks as if there will certainly be more!
The Mazda3 is far more powerful than the Honda Fit. Passing with the Fit was always suspensful, gas pedal pushed hard against the floor and hoping for the best. With the 3 it's just a touch of the...
The Mazda3 makes number 4 on Torquenews' selection of the 10 coolest cars of 2012. Should be number 1 in my opinion. Bizarre choices for the top 3.

My last fill up (today) I hit 5.35 litres per 100 (52.8 mpg). My second best - a few weeks ago I hit 5.25). My average mpg for the last 6 fill ups is 5.9 litres per 100 (48 mpg) so it's getting...
Here's an exhaustive video review of the Mazda3 Skyactiv Sport MT. I like the tan seat covers even better than the black in mine.

Here's another good review just out from the Globe and Mail.
"The 2.0-litre gasoline direct injection engine of the latter is also mated to either a reinvented manual or automatic six-speed...
Good review. The Skyactiv version comes with a black lip and I prefer its black interior to the grey in the model you're writing about. Also the "what-is-usually-an-ashtray" storage compartment...
7,000 on my April 2012 bought Skyactiv hatch.
My automatic Skyactiv hatch revs at about 1800 at 100 kph. I have to get up close to 110 to get over 2000. I don't notice a lack of power but maybe that's because I'm coming from a Honda Fit. ...
It's been installed on Skyactiv's in Australia and Europe but not yet in North America.

Here's an Australian review of the Mazda3 Skyactiv. Unfortunately, the I-Stop technology hasn't been included in the Skyactiv in Canada.

Here's another very interesting review of the Mazda3 Skyactiv with manual transmission. Though I love the automatic this review makes me kind of wish I'd gotten the manual. Enjoy.

It looks to me as if the Skyactiv isn't fully broken in and giving the best mileage until it gets over 4,000 kilometers. I'm over 4,000 now and my last two fillups have been 5.25 litres/100 and 6.1...
