Mazda 3 Sportback for 10k?

[dawsonnn3]

Hello. I'm looking for a new car in the next month or two and the Mazda 3 sportback has really caught my eye and fits all of my (and my wifes) requirements - 4/5 doors, <30k miles, newish model (anything > 2013), not too large or small (wife wants a saloon car or a small SUV), great sporty looks and colour, really nice interior with some toys to play with and fits under our 10k budget.

What are you thoughts on it?

Is a good car for the price? and are they reliable? We need something reliable as we plan to have this car for a long time so want to make a sound investment. Happy to take on any suggestions if there are any better alternatives out there.

There is also the 2014 model of the car for £1000 less and also has less miles but we prefer the white colour however if there is no difference between 2014 and 2015 model then perhaps its better to save the £1000?

the white one is nice I'd actually look for the Sport Nav but you have to spend a bit more also one with the Bose upgrade is worth seeking out.

Thanks for the replies! What is the difference in the sport nav version? Is it just faster? (Forgive me as I'm not a very car technical person...yet)
