Mazda 3 Saloon (09-10) - Review Review by Simon Harris on 08 April 2009 Last Updated: 16 July 2009 Small saloon cars have never been particularly popular in the UK, unlike mainland Europe. Most buyers prefer the practicality of a hatchback when it comes to small family cars, but there are still several available including the excellent Mazda3 saloon. Like the previous model, it's one of the more attractive four-door models around. It's also incredibly refined, well built and good to drive too. So while it may not be as desirable as the hatchback, it's certainly very distinctive with a front end inspired by the RX-8. The line-up isn't as wide as the hatchback but there are still some excellent engines available too including powerful yet frugal diesels. 4 out of 5 Other Mazda reviews Summary Facts & Figures Equipment Driving & Performance Comfort Costs Safety & Reliability Buying & Selling Also Consider Company Car Info Gallery Company Car Costs P11D Value The price of the car excluding road tax and first registration fee.
