Well, their current engine which has high compression ratio did not really produce earth shattering power. So, i don't know what i can hope for in the new engine.
For me, it is not meant to be a performance oriented engine. So, i don't really bother with what they stick into the car as long as it doesn't have reliability problems long term wise.
Mazda has always place more attention to the drivability as it is a more driver centric car. So long it doesn't compromise the other areas too much it should be a problem and yeah also the reliability, so long it doesnt give rise to major problem, then shouldn't be an issue i guess...

Not rumour, confirm that the skyactiv-x will debut on the mazda3; not turbocharged, but mild superchargerd
This is so disappointing....would rather that they start with sacking the suspension mounting supplier from their vendor list. Waste so much after service resources on lower arm and strut top mount. Best part still.....also cannot resolve, just kick the can down the road to resurface months later...
As the unofficial thread owner of the civic saying this :

Thanks for the info.
What's the price range like? rumour says that there might be some small price hike to the current M3.
