Competition
Dear Mazda,
I assembled a 2008.5 Sport GX online, with air conditioning and the Comfort Package, and it costs $20,190. Who are the key competitors for this model? Thanks for your reply.
Dear Consumer,
Thank you for your inquiry regarding the Mazda3 Sport's competition. The new GX trim level will satisfy those looking for "Zoom-Zoom" in a 5-door package that costs under $20,000. Priced from $17,895, the 2008.5 Mazda3 Sport GX's direct rivals are:
Dodge Caliber SE, 148 hp, $15,995
Kia Spectra5 LX, 138 hp, $16,495
Pontiac Vibe (2009), 132 hp, $15,995
Saturn Astra XE 5-door, 138 hp, $17,900
Suzuki SX4, 143 hp, $17,195
Toyota Matrix (2009), 132 hp, $15,705
Volkswagen City Golf, 115 hp, $15,300
As you can see, the Mazda3 Sport is, with the Caliber, the most powerful of the group. In addition, none of these models has any "Zoom-Zoom".
Conclusion
Dear Mazda,
Introducing a lower-priced GX trim to the Mazda3 Sport is a good move, as you'll attract more customers in a market that's more and more competitive. Launching a mid-year update is a peculiar move, but the upgrades were worth the wait. I think you'll sell quite a few of them, despite that the car has been around for 5 years now. As you've probably noticed in my reviews, I'm just a little tired of your Zoom-Zoom advertising line. Anyway, I wish you well. Sincerely, Mr. Deslauriers.
Dear Mr. Deslauriers,
Thank you for your comments. Please stop sucking up and give us back our "Zoom-Zoom" press car. Sincerely, Mazda.
