They are a good car but the Golf is loads better. The Golf in petrol or diesel is also super economical.

Yeah, a little bit on the small side.

Axela is the Japanese name for what we call the Mazda 3.Both came in sedan and hatch.

Most of the complaints you'll hear are around refinement, the early models especially didn't get a great deal of sound deadening.Also watch out for Jap spec cars with the little 1.5l - better off choosing at least the 2l.Aside from that they're pretty good, probably the best chassis in the class from a drivers perspective.
