A Beautiful Sight!
I have a confession to make. When I looked at the 2024 Mazda3, the very first thing that came to mind was Hans Christian Andersen’s The Ugly Duckling, the fairy tale that generations of children around the world have read over the decades.
Watching the car’s visual metamorphosis over the years, I’ve had a mixed reaction. I knew the Mazda3 was a great handling car and this characteristic was always one of my top must-haves. But I had an issue with the Mazda3’s look in earlier years.
So what has Mazda done? Gradually turned the Mazda3 from an ugly duckling into this beautiful swan. During this transformation, Mazda not only maintained the driving characteristics, but improved on them.
While photographing the vehicle in various scenarios, the Mazda3 enhanced every scene rather than detract from it. I wish I could say the same about me!
