Mazda 3 G20 Pure hatch review

To say the Mazda 3 is an important model for the Japanese brand is probably the understatement of the decade. Actually, make that two decades – well, almost. Since 2003, Mazda has sold more than six million globally. Here in Australia, where the brand has always had a strong following, that number is nudging 900,000. In fact, it’s still the company’s biggest seller, closely followed by its popular mid-size SUV, the CX-5.
