Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

In their own words

Our Mk1 Mazda3 2.0 Sport has done us an unbelievable 12 trouble free years, and heres to another 12! At 35MPG average its not the most economical thing out there, but hey its 12+ year old technology. Great looking hatch, designed by a German, didn't know that until I looked it up. Good on you to the folks in Japan!

How reliable do you find the car?

Astonishing reliability.

Does the car do everything you expected it to do?

Long wheelbase for a small hatchback, with more room that the equivalent Golf. Has suited our family of 4 perfectly for long trips on the continent - including 5 to Spain.
