Is this luxury Mazda 3 better than a BMW? (Mazda 3 Astina 2023 Review)
Full review of the 2023 Mazda 3 hatch, including the Astina grade, 2.5-litre engine, performance, handling, ride, quality, price, features, and warranty.
The Mazda 3 is one of the best small cars on the market. The base models are great value but at the other end of the range, the luxurious Astina grade also makes a fairly solid case for itself with leather seats, a Bose stereo, sunroof and the best headlight tech.
So, should you consider the $40K Mazda 3 G25 Astina hatch over a rival like the Volkswagen Golf, Toyota Corolla, or Hyundai i30 – or entry-level luxury cars like the BMW 1 Series, Mercedes-Benz A-Class or Audi A3?
