"If you are after a stylish family hatch that great to drive, the Mazda 3 could be the car for you, while the to impress running costs. "
If you take on rivals of the caliber of the Volkswagen Golf, Skoda Octavia, Ford Focus, SEAT Leon, Ford Focus and Opel Astra, then you have to be good. Fortunately for Mazda at least the Mazda 3 hatchback exactly.
It is probably the most elegant car in the class, successfully represents Mazda's design philosophy of swooping lines and sharp details showcased. These are not just for the aesthetics, either the shape of the Mazda 3 has been optimized as its aerodynamic as possible in order to reduce air resistance and thus improve fuel efficiency and reduce operating costs

, see also the Mazda 3 is one of the best cars in the class trip. Its steering is precise, if a little too bright, while the body is slim very well controlled. The manual transmission is sharp and easy to use and the automatic version swaps gears smoothly and quickly, too. It is not the absolute most comfortable car in the class, but it will be acceptable for most people quite.
Even though you might be a little to suffer due to this low, swoopy roofline expect 3 the interior, it is actually quite spacious inside. Four adults easily fit while you should not get into a position to much trouble three children on their backs, either. Boot space is fine, if a little far behind the class leader, although this is done for some punctured by the large number of cubby holes around the inside.
Speaking of the interior, it is nicely decorated and decent quality as well. It is perhaps not quite up there with the likes of the VW Golf, but there is still a massive improvement over Mazdas from time immemorial. All the controls feel nice weighted and sturdy, well.

Under the hood, there are two spirits and two diesels. The gasolines displacing 1.5 and 2.0 liters and producing 99 and 118bhp respectively. We would avoid the smaller engine because it is too weak to run not cheaper than the bigger engine and does not cost much less to buy either.
To take advantage of the 1.5 and 2.2-liter diesel engines "lower operating costs (but higher input prices) Need approximately 14000-15000 miles a year to do. The numbers are impressive, but with the 103bhp 1.5-liter returns to 74mpg and a road tax free 99g / km of CO2 emitted. the larger, 148bhp 2.2-liter is pretty good, almost 70mpg management and emits only 107g / km of CO2. This means an annual road tax bill of just £ 20, while respectively in 16 and 17% benefit-in-kind (BiK) company car tax bands sit.
power of two diesels is sufficient, with the 103bhp version in under 11 seconds just to complete the 0-62mph sprint, while the 148bhp 2.2-liter version there in 8.1 seconds
Each of the three trim levels -. SE, SE-L and Sport - can be supplemented with the Nav suffix that (unsurprisingly) satellite navigation the list of devices adds. Otherwise all models with alloy wheels, air conditioning, digital DAB radio, Bluetooth mobile phone connectivity and an infotainment system come controlled a seven-inch touchscreen display.
security should be no problem, since the 3 comes with a five-star Euro NCAP crash test rating, and a plurality of airbags, tire pressure monitoring system, ISOFIX child seat fastenings, electronic stability control, anti-lock brakes, traction control and Smart City Brake Support. This last feature is a system capable of the brakes at low speed (3-18 mph) automatically apply either to avoid a collision or to reduce the impact thereof.
