Asked by Steve Maxwell
We are considering a Mazda 3. Which model would you recommend? We live in Port Macquarie and travel about 20,000km a year. Would you recommend an auto or a manual?
Answered by CarsGuide
20 Oct 2014Since you live in a regional area, I'd go for maximum safety and comfort, not the sports model. But it depends on your budget. As for gearbox, an auto will make life easier and improve resale.
