Description

The 2016 Mazda 3 1.5 SKYACTIV-G SE feels composed and efficient on the road. Its 1.5-litre Skyactiv petrol engine and six-speed manual combine to deliver eager city performance with reassuring refinement on longer journeys. Steering is light yet communicative, making urban manoeuvres effortless while the chassis stays planted through corners.

Inside, the cabin balances comfort and functionality with supportive seats, a sensible 60/40 split rear seat and useful storage. Connectivity is straightforward via the 7-inch touchscreen and Bluetooth, and running costs remain modest thanks to strong economy and a low insurance group. It’s a practical, well-rounded hatchback for commuting and weekend trips.
