Mazda 3 SP23
Sep 30th
Mazda has added some polish to the Mazda 3 SP23 to create a new flagship for the Mazda3 range.
With a quite powerful engine in a small car, the acceleration is on par with the large engined Holden Commodore.
Having completed a new model onslaught which saw the new Mazda6, Mazda2, Mazda3 and RX8 launched in quick succession, the company is now planning to use hero cars to give the Mazda brand a little extra gloss and, it hopes, maintain its new found sales momentum. The company increased sales by 2343 vehicles, or 4.4 per cent, in 2004.
The SP23 leather pack adds, as its name suggests, a leather interior to the leather-wrapped steering wheel and gear knob in the standard SP23. Other upgrades include a 220-watt Bose stereo system with subwoofer, high-gloss painted-silver 17-inch alloy wheels and exterior door handles.
A new key fob, with central locking controls and a retractable key, is shared with the rest of the Mazda3 range.
The SP23 leather pack comes in either sedan or hatch guise and costs $31,980 with a five-speed manual transmission, a $2760 premium over the standard SP23. Automatic transmission adds $2000.
The SP23 leather pack will be followed later in the year by a turbocharged all-wheel-drive Mazda6 MPS, which the company says will cost less than $55,000.

Car insurance FAQ

Some information you need to know
Before buying your car insurance, here are some useful things you need to know.
- Excess or Deductible: These terms mean the same thing – that you accept part of the risk yourself. Practically speaking, this means that in event of a claim, you pay a certain amount. However if the accident was not your fault, the insurer may waive your contribution or return it to you. Some insurers make the excess compulsory, while others allow policyholders to use it to reduce their annual premiums.
- No Claim Bonus: A feature of comprehensive policies, this means you are rewarded on an ascending scale for each successive year without a claim. If you do claim, your bonus is reduced, although if the accident is not your fault, certain insurers will leave your bonus intact. Once you’ve reached the highest scale, some insurers allow you to “protect” your bonus by paying an extra premium, so you’re not penalised for just one claim.
- Extended Third Party Property Damage: This covers you in the event of an accident that’s not your fault where the person who caused the accident has no insurance. It’s not offered by all insurers and it usually has a limit of a few thousand dollars.
- Market Value or Agreed Market Value: Most policies provide settlement for a total loss claim (if the car is stolen or irredeemably damaged) on a “market value” basis. This means you are entitled to an amount representing the cost of a vehicle of similar make, model, age and condition. Or, if the vehicle is less than one year old, many insurers will replace it with a new vehicle of the same make and model you lost. An Agreed Market Value cover is especially useful for classic or vintage cars – where the insurer agrees to pay a specified amount in the event of a total loss.
- Premium Rating: The premium, or cost of the insurance, is based on such factors as type of vehicle, age of the driver, driving experience, occupation, location and intended use of the vehicle. Modifications to a vehicle must be disclosed, otherwise future claims may be refused.
- Making a claim: In an accident you should do two things. Firstly, ensure you comply with all legal requirements (e.g. notify the police, exchange details with the other driver, etc). Secondly, notify your insurance broker as soon as possible, preferably within 24 hours. He or she will then advise you on the steps you need to take to make a claim.
