2010 MAZDA3 4-Door: ALL NEW. ALL THAT.

Hey, Mazda fans!  Let's take a walk down memory lane.  Remember this commercial?

SUV with plenty of style

Mazda

“WHAT a beautiful car,” exclaimed the boss of a Chinese takeaway in the Derbyshire Peak District market town of Bakewell as I parked my test car outside and called in for a curry, writes Bryan Longworth.

The object of his admiration was the new bright red Mazda CX-5 compact crossover SUV which did look good with its stylish body and the new large Audi-like front grille which will be the family face for all future Mazda cars - although I was a bit taken aback by his very enthusiastic acclamation.

As well as having a beautiful and shapely body, the CX-5 also incorporates what Mazda describe as SkyActiv technology which centres on three key areas - sophisticated lightweight platform technology, advanced fuel saving engines and efficient manual and automatic transmissions.

The styling of the CX-5 reminded me of the Nissan Qashqai which started this market sector but I found the Mazda a more dynamic car than the Qashqai I once owned and there is no doubt that this Mazda raises the bar in the very competitive crossover class.

CX-5 can be acquired with either two or four wheel drive and my test car was the two wheel drive CX-5 2.2 SE-L Nav Auto which had a 150bhp diesel engine and automatic transmission and cost £24,695.

The 2.2-litre engine provided the CX-5 with a top speed of 123mph, a zero to 62mph time of 10 seconds, a combined fuel consumption of 53.3mpg and CO2 emissions of 139g/km - the on board trip computer showed the fuel consumption to be less than this figure which is normal for most cars in real world driving.

I liked the design of the roomy and comfortable interior especially the controls and instruments apart from one thing - the location of the engine stop-start button which was completely hidden behind the winker stalk and even I could have found a more user friendly location for this control!

On the road the diesel engine provided a very lively and quiet performance and the car had good handling qualities with smooth changes on the six speed automatic gearbox although I would have preferred the steering to have had a little more feel about it.

At the rear is a large load area that will hold enough holiday luggage and equipment for most owners and underneath this there is a puncture repair kit but no spare wheel which is now the norm with most new cars - although I prefer a spare or space saver wheel and paid £80 for the security of a spare wheel on my last new car.

Overall I liked the CX-5 and Mazda has done a really good job with the car.

Take your time!

Taketime

Accelerate slowly when you begin your drive.  The most wear to the engine and drive train occurs in the first ten to twenty minutes of operation.
