It has been a long time since I last drove a Mazda. Two years in fact, when my ‘better half’ owned a previous generation Mazda 3. It wasn’t great…it was a little sluggish, didn’t handle all that well and was hard on fuel, which was disappointing given the lack of performance.
It’s a brave statement to open this article with but Audi have quite possibly gained that status in a very bold segment with many a debate to be had over who is king, however for most modern drivers when they hear the name Audi they will think one of the many things; Vorsprung Durch Technik, Reliable, Good Quality, High End, Expensive, Mundane, Last Forever, Family Car and of course the old Northern Ireland favourite; Diesel.
