Mazda Mazda3
The Mazda3 owes a good part of its success to its «made to measure» approach: two body styles (sedan and 5-door Sport), five trim levels (GX, GS, GS-SKY, GT and Mazdaspeed3), four engines, three manual transmissions and two automatics! If the boiling 263 hp turbo 2.3 litre grabs your attention, it’s the frugal SKYACTIVE 2.0 litre that makes the headlines. Its performance remains class-competitive while sipping only 5.1 l/100km on the highway. The common denominator to all the Mazda3 range: driving fun.
