After 11 months with our otherwise well-specified Mazda 3, the lack of rear parking sensors and satellite navigation continues to rankle, particularly as they are standard on equivalent 2.0-litre petrol Sports models.
This reflects the ongoing diesel-pricing penalty. It was no consolation recently when the 3's ample bumpers came perilously close to dinging a neighbour's pride and joy after I transferred from another product equipped with proximity warning parking aids and forgot to make my own sensory checks. Car in gear, brain in neutral, brakes worked. Mazda 3 2.2d 150PS Sport 5-door manual Mileage 8311 Claimed combined
