The Mazda 3 is a viable contender in the family hatchback stakes, offering good fuel economy, comfort and a certain amount of fun factor. It has good looks and plenty of kit, and the top of the range Sport Nav and MPS models may well appeal to someone hoping to use it for something a little more exciting than taking the family to the local supermarket once a week! The Mazda 3 is a competitively priced alternative to rivals Ford Focus or VW Golf, and well worth checking out if you are after a car in this range.
