Mazda Mazda3 review

After the striking exterior, the interior is a bit of a let down. There’s the mandatory large colour screen atop the centre console, a sportyfeeling steering wheel, though some fairly ordinary-looking instruments. Space, for all Mazda’s boasts of class-leading interior width, isn’t quite as generous as you might hope either – particularly headroom in the back (literally styling over substance). Curious quality oversights include a centre armrest that’s pound-store flimsy, and a dash top with the same tacky texture and fluff capturing qualities as an abandoned boiled sweet.
