Taken not too long after they discontinued the speed 3. There were a couple more out front that aren’t pictured.
That era was my favorite look for the hatchback.
That's the generation of Mazda 3 that I think nearly killed the company. Such an ugly design. What's worse is that they didn't rush through a restyling. They just kept on keeping on. Tweaking the styling and aiming more at the WRX, they really could have moved quite a few of the MS3 versions.
Ah I must have been one of the only people that liked that styling haha.
