The steering feels taut and mechanical, providing good levels of feedback without being twitchy, and while the suspension isn’t specifically tuned for Australian roads it does offer a distinct, rubbery and confident feel. We love the way these cars behave on the road. One of the better traits of modern Mazdas, in our opinion, is the drive character. The towing capacity is rated at 750kg/1800kg unbraked/braked. This is one of the smaller-capacity cargo areas in the class, but only just and still totally acceptable and perfect for the family.
Thankfully, Mazda has got rid of its old flimsy plastic flip-up head-up display system and now uses a proper dash-integrated projector like most other systems in the industry.īoot space is rated at 442L/1342L with the rear seats up/down. The GT also gets a power tailgate and an advanced head-up display system. Once you get used to the left-right, up-down cursor movement and the surrounding jump-to buttons, you’ll soon be able to make selections while on the go and not even need to glance down.Īll of the must-have items are standard on the GT, including a rear-view camera, Bluetooth, digital radio, automatic on/off LED headlights, auto wipers, GPS sat-nav, cup holders galore, and dual-zone climate control. You don’t need to be a computer genius to understand how it operates. The upper models share the same MZD Connect media interface, which we think is one of the best systems in the class, with the very convenient hand controller down on the centre console. The standard features list is extensive in most variants. Everything sits where you’d expect to find it, with commonly hidden functions – such as dimming for the instrument cluster – sticking to tradition for instant familiarisation. And despite the obvious high priority on design, the controls and fixtures are entwined seamlessly. In Touring specification, the interior design is pretty much the same only the dash and parts of the centre console aren’t swathed in leather, and there’s more of a mono-tone colour scheme going on. The colours and materials create a classy yet practical decor, and we like the way the white tones are not carried through to the lower cabin and footwells where surfaces would otherwise show dirt and scuffing. In GT trim with the white/bone leather trim, it’s just exquisite. We think these are some of the finest interiors you’ll see in the mainstream vehicle category.
