With vast success in a host of markets, the Mazda3, known in Japan as the Mazda Axela, was originally introduced at the end of 2003 as a replacement for the Mazda 323 (also known as the Mazda Protégé and the Mazda Familia). The original Mazda3 design was based on the Ford C1 platform, also common in cars such as the Ford Focus and the Volvo S40. It was originally available as a four-door saloon or a five-door hatchback. In 2006, the Mazda3 MPS was introduced designed to compete in the sports car sector. Indeed the Mazda3 itself underwent a facelift in 2007 with several new exterior colours made available.

Handles well, fuel consumption a bit high around town, but longer journeys the mpg is around 40.9. Does what it says on the label - comfortable, reliable and good size to accommodate a family. Long journeys are a doddle with no one complaining about being crampt up. Keeping fingers x it will continue to be a good runner.

My judgement here has been based on the experiences gained after 43 years of driving everything from a Reliant Robin to a Rolls Royce (Fortunately, I didn’t own either of these!) My 23 years in the retail motor trade with main dealers gave me the ideal perspective to know a good car when I drove one. Now that I am out of the ’trade’ I buy my own cars and have to say that my 08 Mazda3 has only given of its best after 9000+ miles in the seven months since choosing it over another Peugeot that it replaced. To sum up - it’s flexible, entertaining, capacious and totally reliable. At £12930.00 I am well satisfied! (4 Stars, because nothing is perfect.)

Previously owning Volkswagen Golf’s, the change to Mazda 3 has proved satisfactory in that for around the same buying price the Mazda 3 has more to offer in alloys, climate control and alarm which my 2006 Golf did not have. Good to drive with plenty room and comfort.
