2008 Mazda 3 Tamura review from UK and Ireland
General comments?
My brother has got one of these at the moment from National Car Hire whilst his car is being repaired. Even though I am a Citroen fan, I will say it's a lovely car and has some great features like the multi CD player, the MP3 player socket and 4 rear windows.
My brother is liking it a lot.
But I myself do have one problem with it. The power is awful. Considering it's a 1.6i it really feels slow compare to my old Citroen C3 1.6i 16v Exclusive Sensodrive, and my new C2 1.6i 16v VTR Sensodrive.
When you drop down a gear in TipTronic mode, you just don't feel the power as you should. Even my sisters Renault Megane Scenic 1.4i 16v has more go in it.
That's the only thing that lets it down for me.
