Mazda3 2025

Bought for practicality, expected dull. Wrong. Chassis is genuinely sorted — accurate steering, good body control, eager engine. Makes you look forward to driving.

Reliability has been below the brand's reputation. Two dealer visits in the first year for issues that shouldn't exist on a new car. Interior quality also doesn't match the asking price.

Boot swallowed everything we packed, rear passenger space was comfortable even for a ten-hour day, and the fuel stops were infrequent. Kids slept most of …
