Mazda3 Sport 2.3 Individual - very impressive
The Mazda3 Sport 2.3 Individual comes in a metallic gun-metal grey finish with 17-inch alloy rims and can go from 0 – 100km/h in 8.5 seconds. And you thought family hatches had to be boring…
At R216 990, the new Mazda3 Sport 2.3 Individual is very impressive. It is powered by a 115 kW 2.3-litre, 16-valve motor and a six-speed transmission. This sporty hatch proves that a family hatch doesn’t have to be boring or powerless.
Its engine features variable induction- and inlet valve control technology, which makes this hatch more powerful than your ordinary family car. Its looks also grab ones attention because it’s a lot prettier than most hatches.
Unfortunately the Mazda3 Sport 2.3 Individual doesn’t offer a traction control system or communicative steering, but this makes it easy to handle. Luxuries include automatic air conditioning and a leather gearknob, but overall it is quite ordinary. No fancy gadgets and controls that most people wonder how to work until the day they die. The seats are supportive and the dash and interior looks neat and tidy.
Overall, the Mazda3 Sport 2.3 Individual is very impressive. It gets full marks for its looks and a very high score for its performance. It’s the perfect family all-rounder and is priced very competitively.
