Skyactiv-G 122ps GT Sport 5d
Mazda 3 review (2023)

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

In their own words

Looks great and interior great, equipment great, headlights great and make night driving easy, Sky Activ G engine is fast enough for everyday normal driving despite what road testers say, really want to love this car but sadly Im regretting it after only a few weeks. Finding it impossible to get comfortable, seat too high and steering wheel too low even when adjusted, seat base too short making it uncomfortable after a while, auto dimming mirrors way too dark at night, brakes and clutch lack any feel, accelerator pedal is infuriating making smooth low speed driving difficult, car is nice and relaxing when just pottering around but push on a bit and it doesent really like it, I know it's a hatchback not a sports car but compared to previous focus it seriously lacks any sense of fun or enjoyment and just feels boring. Trying hard to like it because the good points are really good but the driving experience, numb pedals, average steering and uncomfortable seat/driving position really spoiling it sadly, cant see me keeping it long

How reliable do you find the car?

Not had it long enough, drivers door mirror doesnt fold fully but not a big issue,
