Summary
The looks are familiar, but subtle changes under the surface have dramatically improved Mazdas Focus rival
Styling
The Mazda 3 remains one of the sharpest looking family hatchbacks around. A refreshing alternative to default choice rivals.
Handling
Agile and composed over twisty roads - the 3 is great fun to drive quickly. Precise steering remains the lynchpin of the dynamic equation.
Comfort
Mazda has tried hard to give the 3 a more supple ride quality, but it?s still too firm for British roads and falls behind many of its mainstream rivals?. Some road noise is also evident, regardless of speed.
Quality
Theres no doubting the durability of the Mazda 3. It carries on the Japanese firms reputation for high grade materials that are put together with care and attention to detail.
Performance
Mazda has improved the 1.4- and 2.0-litre petrols, but the 1.6-litre petrol remains the engine to go for. The least powerful turbodiesel struggles on faster roads, so best to go for the more potent 107bhp version.
Roominess
Decent space for occupants, but the boot is short on volume compared to key rivals.
Costs
Fuel economy is respectable for petrol versions and very good for diesels. Retained value is slightly better than the segment average but servicing can be pricey.
Value
The entry-level version still does without side curtain airbags, which is a shame, but the rest of the range benefits from good equipment levels and prices that undercut most rivals.
Stereo
The optional satellite navigation system is easy to use and work. Standard CD-playing stereo has good sound quality, top-spec version get a very good Bose-branded system.
Added Extras
