mazda claims this car does 5.7 litres per 100 kms, it is an absolute lie, it does 10. this is disgusting and misleading, particularly for a small car that has this function called i-stop, basically the engine cuts off when the car comes to a complete stop but if we do not press the brake hard enough it does not work. now the contradiction from mazda, a mechanic said: wait until the car has done more kms, this is an old ladies tale, a car will do what has been designed to do, a woman from mazda head office said it is because 5.7 is done in facto...Read more

I purchased this lemon mazda 3 neo from mazda mandurah the 22 of june 2018. the sticker on the car said that the combine fuel consumption is 5.7 littres per 100 kms this is an absolute lie, the damned thing does between 9 and 10 littres per 100 kms and their excuse is the car is too new, what a lot of rubbish, a car will do what it is supposed to do from day one and I am a careful driver, I am not one of those criminals on the road who drive like maniacs, flooring the accelerator at all times, I take off gently, stop gently and one of my previo...Read more

My wife brought a Mazda 3 Neo Hatch in 2015, driving it for almost three years now. Mainly between home and work and we almost drive it everyday.

The good things about this car is
2.0 Engine performs better than for example 1.8 Toyota Corolla
The skyactive technology does actually save some fuel
Fuel consumption combined is around 7L per 100KM which is great
Handling is much better than Toyota Corolla
The look and interior design is just one of the best in the business
It comes with everything you need, like bluetooth, air con works great
And we had a good deal from Ringwood Mazda, really like there service and price ...Read more

There are three things that do need improvement however.

The cabin is noisy as road noise is noticeable.

The 3 Neo is light years ahead of that car I hated so much and continues to improve with this mild update. This third-generation 3 was already much better than either of its predecessors. The Mazda of 2016 is also a very different, braver company with a decade of making some pretty good cars behind it.

The 3 Neo is hardly a bare bones entry level model and it can't be. We expect a lot from our cars now and don't want to have to pay...Read more

Bought my Mazda cx3 neo, even tho I dislike the Hornsby Mazda sales snobs in Sydney... don't buy a car from Mazda Hornsby as for some reason the salespeople think they're hot stuff . All they do is sell cars so their 'stuff' ain't hot! The car is ok other than that.
Easy to drive, suffered massive blunt force trauma in a hit and run but was comfy to drive car even with my multiple severe injuries- apart from the seatbelt that hurts a great deal against shoulder but not Mazda fault.
Great and economical when driving long distances however fin...Read more
