The Mazda3 has always been the refined choice in the small hatch segment. The SP25 GT is the top of the naturally aspirated range, and it comes with a 2.5-litre four-cylinder that gives it a meaningful step up in outputs over the entry variants. The GT trim adds equipment that makes the Mazda3 feel more premium than its price suggests.
Jenny reviews it as an everyday commuter and finds the SP25 GT is genuinely enjoyable. The cabin is well-finished, the seats are supportive, and the driving dynamics are sharper than the average five-door. Fuel consumption is reasonable, the infotainment is easy to navigate while moving, and the boot is a practical size for a car of these dimensions.
The Mazda3 SP25 GT is the hatch for someone who takes the decision seriously and wants more than base-level transport. Those who need more cargo space should look at a small SUV. Those who enjoy driving should test this before going anywhere else in the segment.
