2011 Mazda 3 Detail Review - First Impressions

The 2011 Mazda 3 has been highly rated by some of the country's top motoring publications and journalists.

The latest Mazda 3 is proving to be as popular as previous models, and Mazda has had the wisdom to enhance the features that have been praised in past models.
