When it comes to compact sedans, the Mazda 3 is among the best there is as it comes with a spectacular handling, power, reliability and efficiency. However, the car has not been selling well due to its expensive price tag.
Mazda explains that the high price for the compact sedan is necessary as it runs on the SkyActive technology. The revolutionary system ensures that the Mazda 3 offers better grip and handling, while at the same time making full use of every drop of petrol.
While there is no denying the awesomeness of the Mazda 3, it hurts to learn that comfort has been below par for the vehicle. For starters, the Mazda 3 has poor noise insulation. The decibels can go off the charts when driving the vehicle.
Furthermore, the focus on making it super-efficient has caused the Mazda 3 to be underpowered. The driver will have to do high-revs to pull out the power. These flaws have made the Mazda 3 second best to its competitors.
However, the Mazda 3 is packed with the latest features on a car. The list includes automatic wipers and headlights, which are normally found on luxury sedans. Then again, we feel that Mazda 3 is still overpriced for its class.
