Mazda 3 SP25 GT 2017 review: snapshot

EXPERT RATING
7
The GT is a step up from both the 2.0-litre Touring and 2.5-litre GT, with a specification list closer to the former and the engine from the latter.

The GT is a step up from both the 2.0-litre Touring and 2.5-litre GT, with a specification list closer to the former and the engine from the latter. Pricing starts at $29,990 for the manual and $31,990 for the auto.

The GT comes with leather trim throughout, electric heated front seats, dual-zone climate control, 18-inch alloy wheels, electro-chromatic rear vision mirror and auto headlights and wipers. You also get a head-up display and adaptive LED head and tail-lights, both useful additions.

The 7.0-inch touchscreen MZD Connect media systems continues, now with nine Bose-branded speakers, DAB+ digital radio, USB, Bluetooth and sat nav. Limited app integration is available but Apple CarPlay and Android Auto do not feature.

The already strong safety package has six airbags, ABS and stability controls, reversing camera, reverse cross traffic alert, blind spot monitoring, reverse AEB and adds traffic sign recognition to display the speed limit in the HUD.
