yes, your agent is correct. the hatch now has the V-spec features. saw this personally at mazda alabang last week... what's better is that the V-spec models has a leather-wrapped steering wheel (the salesperson says that it's leather pero duda ako na real leather ito) and an 'info' display. not sure however what other info can be viewed from the info display aside from fuel efficiency - forgot to ask the salesperson kasi natuwa ako sa leather steering wheel and new seat material for the V-spec hatchback. if i recall it right, the leather-wrapped steering wheel isn't even offered in the old 2.0 mazda3...

there's also this 'handle' at the rear door which allows smaller people (like your wife or gf) to pull down or close the door easily. alam ko wala din ito sa previous hatch model.

sabi sa ads, white na rin pala yung instrument backlighting unlike the deep orange color in the previous models (not able to check this out sa casa)

Malas. If we'd waited a month we'd have gotten this one. I always wanted a 'V' but my wife wanted a hatch.

katawa. sa Mazda camp. "S" is the entry leve. and "V" yung with safety Features like Dual Airbags saka ABS..... whereas yung lumabas na later Civic just copied the opposite? "V" na tuloy yung entry level....
