THE third-generation Mazda3 first appeared on our streets in early 2014 and immediately caused a stir for three reasons.
Firstly, it was a real head-turner in both hatchback and saloon "fastback" form as it used the now familiar Kodo "Soul of Motion" design first seen on the CX-5 and Mazda6 models.
Secondly, it came with a cracking range of engines that had the SKYACTIV Technology to deliver genuine fuel efficiency.
And, thirdly, it featured a raft of in-car technology that put it ahead of the game when compared with major rivals. In short, the Mazda3 became one of the best driver's cars on the market.
And the good news is that, with no fewer than 36 variants available at launch, you should now be able to find the right model to suit you if you're hunting for a second-hand compact family motor.
To look at, this car had a lower and wider stance than its predecessor, with a sloping profile rising from the front to the rear featuring swooping lines and sharp creases. A bold grille and attractive alloys were complemented by LED running lights and tail lamps on all but the entry-level SE models.
Mazda offered four four-cylinder engines for their newcomer. First up was a 100PS 1.5-litre petrol unit that returned a claimed 55.4mpg combined with CO2 emissions of 118g/km.
Then there were 120PS and 165PS 2.0-litre petrol engines, which averaged 55.4mpg and 48.7mpg and emitted 119g/km and 128g/km of CO2 respectively.
For those who preferred an oil burner under the bonnet, there was a 150PS 2.2-litre diesel that was good for as much as 72.4mpg on average, with emissions of 107g/km.
If performance is important to you, you'll want to look at either the diesel, which sprinted to 62mph in just 8.1 seconds before redlining at 130mph, or the higher-powered petrol.
The car was available in five trims at launch - starting with SE and rising through SE Nav, SE-L and SE-L Nav specs to the range-topping Sport Nav.
All versions featured a seven-inch touchscreen on top of the dash, as well as Bluetooth, smartphone hook-up apps that gave access to hundreds of radio stations as well as social media alerts and air con. Top spec models even featured a head-up display - unusual for a car in this sector.
City braking anti-collision systems and stop/start were fitted as standard, while many first-time Sport Nav owners plumped for optional safety technology including lane departure and blind spot warnings, as well as adaptive headlights.
The cabin was roomier than before - able to carry a family of five in comfort - and loaded with soft-touch plastics, deep-pile carpets and robust but beautifully crafted buttons and switchgear. The 364-litre boot in the hatch was good for a couple of cases, while the fastback had an even larger load capacity of 419 litres.
Perhaps best of all, though, is the way the car handles, especially on winding country roads. Whichever model you get, you'll find the MacPherson strut front and multi-link rear suspension help the Mazda3 stick to the road through bends taken at speed.
We found a 2014 14-plate 2.2d SE-L saloon with a mileage approaching 67,000 for just £8,800. Meanwhile, a 64-plate 120PS 2.0 hatch in the same trim but with less than 23,000 miles on the clock was available for only £10,500. And there were plenty of other examples available in a range of trims and engines for not dissimilar money.Four concerts of the Prague Spring international music festival, including the opening concert on May 12 and the closing concert on June 3 in the Rudolfinum hall, will be performed before reduced-capacity audiences, which must undergo PCR tests for coronavirus.
The concerts are being held within the framework of a pilot project commissioned by the Ministry of Culture to resume events as the Covid-19 infection rate continues to drop. The same goes for a May 10 concert by the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra.
A little over 20 concerts are on the program for this year’s edition of the Prague Spring. All of them can be followed for free by streaming on the festival website. Some concerts will also be broadcast by Czech Radio.
Today is National Hugging Day where we are encouraged to give our loved ones a big SQUEEEEZE in an effort to make both them and us feel better. Now I’m fully aware that it’s not as easy to do at the moment as it might have been in previous years due to the pandemic, but if you can, grab someone from your bubble and give them a cuddle...and the good news is, if you don’t fancy hugging your partner, scientists have shown that you also get the benefits below from hugging your dog too.
It’s a lovely feeling when you embrace someone, so it won’t surprise you that when you give somebody a hug (ideally for 20 seconds), it releases a chemical called Oxytocin. This is often described as the “Cuddle Chemical”. Oxytocin is one of your natural feel-good chemicals, you get it when you are in love, when you feel connected with someone, and, you guessed it when having a lovely big hug.
When you get a good flow of this chemical, the body feels great and so it stops (or at least lessens) the fight or flight response and puts you into a restful state instead (the parasympathetic nervous system for those that like the science bits). When you are in this calmer state, you are then better equipped to deal with potentially stressful situations because you can see them more subjectively and not as worse or more pervasive than they actually are.
So, I’ve mentioned it reduces stress and that leads me on nicely to my next point. When you are stressed, your immune system goes full speed ahead to try and combat the perceived crisis, which you’d probably think is good right?! Well, it isn’t I’m afraid! It backfires and makes us more susceptible to becoming ill. So you can see how the humble hug can positively boost our immune system.
Professors at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh looked at the effects that a good hug has on the immune system.
The study of 404 healthy adults found that those who were getting regular hugs became less infected when exposed to the cold virus, and those that were getting cuddles that did become infected, the symptoms were less severe.
I suppose the fact that it puts your body’s nervous system into a restful state alone is enough to start explaining how a hug can lower blood pressure and heart rate, but there’s more to it than that.
I’ve already mentioned that lovely chemical response, Oxytocin, which is produced when you cuddle, but that chemical goes on to create a reaction in
