  • NEW PRICE: £14,985 - £23,610
  • USED PRICE: From £3,125

The Mazda3 was a clear table-topper in its class in our 2010 reliability survey, and it has consistently been a strong performer on all counts since its original launch in 2004. A competent all-rounder which is fun to drive, comfy to ride in and practical to use, it's competitively-priced, as well; the diesel engines are a better bet than the petrols, though.

Used Mazda 3 reviews

The 2004-2009 Mazda3 is great value secondhand; model-for-model, it comes up cheaper than the closely-related Ford Focus, despite its better performance in reliability surveys. There's not a lot of different versions to choose from, but a decent diesel should run dependably to very high mileages. Which? has the full lowdown on buying a secondhand Mazda3; read on for more details.
