Will It Suit Me?
Back in the eighties, Mazda hatches used to be the automotive equivalent of white goods. You bought a 323 if you had no interest in motoring but wanted a reliable scoot that your friends wouldn't laugh at. These days those sort of tactics aren't anything like enough to cut the mustard in the cutthroat family hatch sector and Mazda's current foray into this market, the revised edition of the second generation Mazda3, is a whole lot more accomplished. I even caught a few passers by giving it the rubber neck treatment, such is its now even sleeker styling. The car delivered to me for a week was a 1.6-litre diesel model and it seemed very well built. It's the sort of car I like - good looking but not showy, with five door practicality, promising keen reliability and not averse to showing its playful side.
