The car offers front wheel drive with the choice of transversely-mounted 2.0L litre 4 cylinder or 2.3 litre 4 cylinder 16 valve DOHC engines. Transmission choices include a five speed manual and four speed automatic. Standard equipment in every used Mazda 3 offers disk brakes on all four wheels. Most of the models also have ABS, Dynamic stability control (DSC) and Traction control. The interior of the used Mazda 3 offers excellent fit and finish and sharp looking instruments as well as a centre console. On the road, the Mazda 3 is fun to drive as the ride is firm but comfortable. The steering is very responsive and precise and its tight turning radius is great for city driving or parking manoeuvres.

Overall, it is a very good choice for reasonable money that offers reliability, good levels of standard equipment and a fine performance.
