The Mazda 3 SP23 (BK series, mid‑2000s) is the one that made the commute feel mildly heroic.
Engine: 2.3‑litre MZR four with about 115 kW and 203 Nm, driving the front wheels via a 5‑speed manual or 4‑speed automatic.
Expect combined fuel use around 8.5–9.5 L/100 km, 17‑inch alloys, firmer suspension, and disc brakes all round—because stopping is as important as going.
Inside, think supportive seats and early‑2000s tech that still does the job without demanding a firmware update every Tuesday.
