Real MPG: Mazda 3 (2004 - 2009)

Number of RealMPGs submitted

26–65

Real MPG

37.3

Average

Focus based. Bags of room and a comfortable ride, well equipped, saloon is the best looker and sharpest handling, depreciates slower than the 2004 Focus.

Steering of early 2.0 petrol cars lacks feel and panache of a Focus. Early UK Mazda 3s starting to rust quite badly.
