For 2024, Mazda have released the updated Mazda3. Is this much loved model still a good option for customers? Find out more about the Mazda3 here: www.green4motorcompany.co.uk/...
The problem I have with mazda is that it is way too long and wide. I have an Audi Avant from 2005, and mazda 3 is almost as long and is 3cm wider. Wide I understand, but why so long? Well, Mazda needed space to fit Turbo to it for north american market, but in Europe they don't sell the turbo version for some very strange reasons (I guess political). And yet we have to bear with an excessively long car with around 10cm of empty space between the firewall and the engine.
@ozhoneybadger Yeah, mazda 3 sedan is longer than Audi B6 Avant. Go check for yourself. I have b6 and put it next to sedan. Sedan is 4660mm length, Audi A4 b6 avant is 4540mm. Can you read numbers? Check the car spec sheet. And it is 30mm wider than the Audi. Mazda 3 isn't a small car.
@ozhoneybadger I don't understand where did the space go in such a large car? It is not roomy, doesn't have a large trunk, front seats are Ok, but where did all that space go? Mazda 3 should have beenat least, at least 10 to 15cm shorter. Take Golf Mk8, it is waye smaller and has much bigger interior space and trunk. But the reasons I would buy it are because it is a Mazda, and it is made in Japan which means everything to me.
