You know the 3 is derived from the next generation Ford Focus platform, sharing the same control-blade (multi-link) rear suspensions, in contrast to rivals' torsion-beam axle.
Although this Mazda 3 is 100kg lighter than Mazda 6, it does not feel particularly quick, especially compare with today's hot hatches.
Mazda said it "uses a FWD layout to maximize the inherent agile handling characteristics of its lightweight and compact body", which I guess nobody understand.

 Mazda MX-Flexa Review | AutoSite Car Previews   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Initially, we thought this might be a replacement for the Mazda MPV minivan, but since it is based on an enlarged version of the Mazda 3 platform and is powered by a 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine, it’s clear that the MX-Flexa could not serve as the MPV’s replacement.
Rather, if Mazda decided to sell this space wagon in the States, it would slot between the Mazda 3 Hatchback and the Mazda MPV minivan, offering a more sensible alternative to the handsome new Mazda 6 Wagon.
With the upcoming Mazda 2, the existing Mazda 3 Hatchback, the dashing Mazda 6 Wagon and a redesigned MPV minivan in the works, it’s doubtful that the company will deem space wagons suitable for the U.S. Which, we suppose, was the point of debuting the MX-Flexa in Geneva rather than Detroit.
