    Default mazda3\'s size

    hey,

    well im sitting here now wondering. does anyone else besides me think thier mazda3 is kind of small? i dunno maybe its just me but after a while my car seems really small compared to other cars like the ralliart or even a civic.

    on the topic of size, does the mazda3 actually have more room then the ralliart? civic? corolla? se-r?

    lol i dunno its almost 5am here, and i dont even know what im still doing up.

    thx

    You\'re kidding me, right??

    I find my 3 huge compared to other subcompacts...There\'s more then enough interior room for my liking, considering it is a compact car...It definitely has more of road stance compared to the other vehicles in the same class...

    No comparison in my opinion...

    If I can fit my kid\'s wagon and stroller in the hatch at the same time I consider it huge compared to all the other cars in it\'s class.

    My Dad\'s a GM guy and loves big cars.
    The first comment he made when I took him for a spin was \"it\'s pretty roomy, I didn\'t expect it to be this big\"

    Someone, who sat in my car, said I must be rich to afford such a big car.

    It\'s big enough, but it doesn\'t match midsize cars (think Accord/TSX, Mazda6) in highway stability. I\'ve yet to experience a compact car that gives the \"rock solid\" feeling of stability that a larger car does.

    ha ha ha so can I


    But ya, the car is quite big imo compared to others. My sister has an 02 civic and when she sat in it, she was so jealous because of the roominess. I love the size, it\'s bigger than my old 91 accord

    I find there\'s a lot of room in the driver and passenger seats, I\'m a pretty big guy and if I can fit nicely, there shouldn\'t be any problemss for you guys. I find I\'m jammed into my brother\'s Matrix and my g/f drives a 99 protege and I have to lean the seats back so my head dosn\'t rub on the roof. My sis has an Alero that I don\'t have to wear a seatbelt in because every part of my body touches something so I\'m wedged in pretty well. I pity any back seat passengers in my car because with my seat all the way back, there\'s about 6 inches of leg room behind me. Trunk wise it\'s pretty roomy, the opening is a little small is my only complaint.

    I love the size of the 3. It\'s spacious enough, but small enough for easy manouverability.
