The most reliable car ever owned in our family
My wife purchased her new Ice blue metallic Mazda3 1.6 TS from an internet dealer, as it was £1800 cheaper than our local Mazda dealer. The car has been faultless, not even a bulb change. Very comfortable to drive with good seat/steering adjustment. Reasonable costs and excellent service from our Mazda dealership. Good stereo/CD player,Fuel economy around 44mpg on our rural roads. Original Yokohama front tyres now replaced at 28,000 miles.Rears still have 5mm of tread. Car was excellent in the recent snow we had.Oil has never required topping up between services. My only criticism, is that the alloys have started to slightly corrode after four years, but overall a superb, value for money car and would heartily reccommend.
