Base Model 3

Dunno if this has been raised before, but what do you think of the steel wheel with hubcaps?

Also does the HB 3 look weird without a spoiler or not?

I'd have to put up without having alloys and a spoiler until i have enough cash.

Wth... the HB has a base? I thought they all came with 2.3L, 17"s and the ground effects package?

We don't know where Activematic is from. Tssk, Tssk activematic

In NA, if your gonna get the hatch, it'll come with 17" alloys and a spoiler

FR3D · Jan 17, 2004

actually there's a GS model in Canada, but you still get 16" Alloys but no spoiler

Here are some pics of what it looks like.

vaBooM · Jan 17, 2004

Looks pretty good without it all.

Absinthe · Jan 17, 2004

Yup... looks pretty good.
I think one of the members owns one like this.

Kazbaeden · Jan 17, 2004

I don't like those caps at all.

cowtown · Jan 17, 2004

Yeah the hubcaps are blah but if you want a cheaper model and an option to put your own wheels on it it could be a good solution.

Ahura · Jan 17, 2004

I've seen it in real life, and it doesn't look nice... like the Mazda6, the 3 need atleast 16" or it looks like crap and looks 'thin'

Kazbaeden · Jan 17, 2004

Yeah, almost malnourished.

FR3D · Jan 18, 2004

looks a bit weird without the protective side sill, but still nice!

neoriffic · Jan 18, 2004

it really needs the 17s, but that kinda makes me what to take the spoiler off my HB when i get it

EnFuego138 · Jan 18, 2004

The hubcaps are rather blah, but I suppose you could just replace them with better ones. As for the lack of spoiler and sidesill extension, I don't think it looks to bad at all.

yea hubcaps are messed up. on the mazda website, it says that alloy wheels are standard. where did this hubcap nonsense start from?

also, are the hallogen lights standard?
