it's not that hard to find out. what are the emissions of the car?
Find out the current band the car is in and then find out the new band the car is in and do the maths.

According to Carzone the car puts out (g/km): 162 which currently put it in the 25% bracket and will put it into the new 24%, so you'll only lose a small amount, not enough to put you off buying the car now.

Yeah, I've a Mazda 3 1.4 on order also (for mother), not too worried, it seems diesels (prices coming down) and big petrols (going up) are effected most radically. (In general - there are exceptions)
