The 2016 Mazda 3 Touring is the sensible shoes that somehow pull off a tux—tidier trim and features than base models without the boy-racer theatrics.
The 2.0‑litre petrol with a 6‑speed manual or auto delivers around 114 kW and thrifty mid‑6s L/100 km claims, and the chassis still loves a winding B‑road.
Cabin tech feels a bit last decade now, but ergonomics are spot-on and long‑trip comfort is solid.
Practicality is decent: the hatch swallows about 308 L and the sedan offers over 400 L, while rear legroom is fine unless your mates are giraffes.
Common gripes are tyre roar on coarse‑chip bitumen and infotainment that can be a touch laggy.
Find one with a full service history and you’ve got a tidy, reliable runabout that punches above its weight in polish.
