Wheels, lows, tint, etc. and I think it could look pretty aggressive.

The Mazda3 has been growing on me as well since the lastest version was released a few years back, though I prefer the sedan version proportions over the hatchback version. I still think that the dramatic swooshing lower-door side body lines makes the car look like it is sagging in the middle a bit. LOVE the rear end design, and also like the front end design, overall.
I also like the overall look of the CX-3 (better than the C-HR or HR-V), even though I'm not really the crossover SUV type, but have this thing about oversized (or undersized) looking wheels on cars. The 16" on the base CX-3 trim looks too small, and the 18" on the higher trims look too big, so I guess that 17" would be the magic number for me on this vehicle.
I've seen the back and forth about rust with Mazda, and not sure what to think about it. My sister (also here in AZ) has a top-trim 2013 Mazda3 sedan (previous model design to the current version) and I don't see any rust issues with it - but then, cars don't really rust very often in dry, hot AZ.
