Thinking of buying a Mazda3...

I'm thinking of buying a Mazda 3 skyactiv g 2 litre petrol. Wondering about reliability, fuel consumption etc

Our answer:

Hi Ger,

It's a lovely car for sure. For a petrol model, it's quite efficient, though you shouldn't expect diesel-like economy at high-speed motorway cruising speeds. In terms of reliability, the 2019 on car is quite new, though the engine has a few known issues after high mileage. It's no worse than others, however, and overall it's quite dependable, especially if you maintain it properly.
