Anyone any thoughts/experience of the Mazda 3? Now available new with 0% finance from dealers.

Only a 1.6 diesel varient available though so different to the Fabia vRS....

I had a mazda 3 saloon automatic as a hire car while in Canada, I dont think you can get that particular model here, but I have to say that despite being most dissapointed at not getting a 128 litre V8 RWD american barge to smoke about in, I was rather suprised at how nice the little mazda was!!

I've got a Mazda 3 diesel outside at the moment (we are also a Mazda dealer as well as Skoda). Its not bad, certainly nowt on the Fabia vRS but its a fair bit bigger inside. Some nice featues about it. The Sport is the one to go for really, looks quite smart (especially on RX-8 alloys). MPS 3 is rumoured to be coming out also.
