Key rival: Ford Focus

Moving passed the 8000-mile mark our trusty hatchback continues to be a model of reliability.

Extended across the Mazda 3 range, that virtue arguably contributes to growing conquest fleet business among core end users this year. Admittedly, this is driven particularly by the lower CO2 (119g/km) and higher mpg 1.6-litre diesel counterpart, but we would miss our 150hp model's muscle, flexibility and refinement, which must attract a significant portion of user choosers.
