The Mazda 3 may not be the most powerful, but good efficiency - especially in the petrol engines - and a genuine sense of fun on the road, more than make up for the lack of zip.

Being one of the most fiercely competitive classes there is, it's hard to stand out in the supermini market. It's arguably even harder if the car in question is a Mazda, who generally struggle for an audience in the UK. So the fact that the Mazda 3 is thought of as one of the class's best says much about its abilities. European Car of the Year runner up in 2004, it is a mix of understated quality, and boasts an incredibly smooth ride and responsive, measured handling.
