Performance
Saloon buyers can choose from three engines - a 104bhp 1.6-litre petrol, a 148bhp 2.0-litre petrol and a 108bhp 1.6-litre diesel. Both petrols offer good performance, while the diesel is smooth and impressively frugal, but a bit short of punch. The two 1.6s come with a five-speed manual gearbox and the 2.0-litre petrol has a six-speed transmission.
Ride & handling
The Mazda 3 uses the same basic chassis as the Ford Focus. Its low-speed ride is firm, but not uncomfortable. As speed increases, the ride smooths out and there is excellent body control. We prefer the hydraulic steering of the 1.6 to the electro-hydraulic system on the 2.0 petrol, which needs more sensitivity.
