Mazda 3 Hatchback (2013 - 2019) 2.2d Sport Nav 5d Auto Owner Review

I chose this car very carefully. I wanted a Japanese car that was made in Japan. I chose it also for the stylish looks, comfort (in the front) and the amazing tech. The auto gearbox is flawless, a rear camera should be compulsory on all cars. There are sensors that tell you when other cars, pedestrians and obstacles are close. This is great because visibility in the Mazda 3 is quite bad. The stop/start is annoying at first but I've got used to it. This is powered by a huge capacitor which charges on overrun so is not battering your battery all the time. The engine is great. Mid range power for overtaking is in abundance with reasonable economy. It would be better used for longer motorway journeys than my trips to Tesco's but i get to blow the cobwebs out now and then and the DPF light has never come on. If i could buy the car again I'd have a red one but that's all I'd change. I love this car.
