The version Mazda 3 with five-door body is under the boot of four (346 compared to 413 l l), but the five-door version is more functional because access to the trunk is more convenient (for the four-door has a mouth load small). In either version, the data of the boot is not large given the length of the bodywork (4.41 m and 4.49 the five gates of the four doors).

Among the bodywork version with four doors and five, the only thing that changes on the inside is that, due to the shape of the roof, the four-door has less headroom for the passengers in the rear seats (about three or four centimeters). Therefore, it is less suitable for carrying people high.

Whether in the version that is, there is room enough for four occupants of normal height, which can go for a comfortable, soft and subject of the seats. For a third occupant of the places the rear seat is narrow, with inadequate support and a headrest that is poorly positioned to adults.
Plastics that are in the interior, as well as buttons and the Roulettes, are hard to touch. In general, the interior and set conveys impression of solidity and seems well done.

Apart from the motor that could lead each version of the Mazda 3, the general tone is that it is a pleasant car to drive and stable by their reactions. It is not, however, a particularly quiet and comfortable car of suspension. The noise that comes inside is not low in some circumstances because of the engine, and in others because of the rolling noise.

The Mazda 3 four-door is worse than the advantage of five: a somewhat greater length, has the same space in the longitudinal and less headroom in the rear seats (because of a fall that has a roof).

If you are valued much the extent there are other more spacious car with a similar length and four-door body, such as the Megane Sedan (which has much more legroom and a little more height to the roof in the rear seats). To a lesser extent, a Focus 4p is also greater. There is also the most expensive and not more spacious, like a Volvo S40.

In both versions, the boot is not higher because beneath the carpeting of the fund is a thick plastic structure with practical ways to place various objects (such as triangles of emergency, the reflector vest and many other things). Below it there is a spare wheel with a steel rim of a curious light brown.
