Unfortunately I do not have one at the moment. I was considering getting the Cx3 or 3 from 2017

The third generation (2014 to 18) Mazda3 is a great car. The third generation is more refined than the earlier generations and has better handling than the fourth.
I recommend it to anyone who wants 90% of the driving dynamics of a similar BMW with 10% of the repair budget. As long as you don’t need the space of an SUV, it is a perfect vehicle.
I don’t know much about the CX-3 except that it has the same reliability.
Drive them both and let us know your questions.

I have heard there are issues with the timing chain on a lot of Mazda cars, is this an old issue or a persistent issue?
Looking at a cx-3 from around 2017 +
Alternatively I'm interested in a Mazda 3 hatchback of a similar age.
Trying to book a test drive but the garage hasn't got back to me yet
