Regular commuting frames this look at the Mazda 323 Lantis 1.8 AT GLX, where the same roads, times and small daily decisions shape how an owner comes to use the car.

Generation photo. Individual trim appearance may differ.
The highest speed a vehicle can sustain under manufacturer test conditions. Some cars are electronically limited below their mechanical potential. Glossary entry
175 km/h
Engine type
Gasoline
Transmission
Automatic
Type of boost?
A turbocharger or supercharger compresses the air entering the engine so a smaller engine can produce more power. Naturally aspirated engines draw air without a compressor. Glossary entry
No
Type of drive?
Which wheels receive power: front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. All-wheel drive can send power to every wheel for extra traction. Glossary entry
FWD
Bore and stroke?
The diameter of a cylinder (bore) and the distance the piston travels inside it (stroke). Together they determine the displacement of the engine. Glossary entry
83 × 85 mm
Engine capacity?
The total volume swept by all pistons inside the cylinders, usually stated in cubic centimetres or litres. Larger displacement often means more power but higher consumption. Glossary entry
1840 cm³
Engine location
Front, transverse
Number of gears?
How many fixed forward ratios a gearbox offers. More gears can improve economy and refinement; continuously variable transmissions have no fixed steps. Glossary entry
4
Maximum power?
A unit of engine or motor output. One metric horsepower is about 0.735 kilowatts. Peak power is normally reached at high engine speed. Glossary entry
115 hp
Maximum power, kw?
A unit of engine or motor output. One metric horsepower is about 0.735 kilowatts. Peak power is normally reached at high engine speed. Glossary entry
84 kW
Compression ratio?
The ratio between the largest and smallest volume of a cylinder as the piston moves. Higher ratios improve efficiency but may require higher-octane fuel. Glossary entry
9.7
Maximum power rpm
6000 rpm

Acceleration to 100?
The time a vehicle needs to reach 100 km/h from a standstill, a common shorthand for overall performance. Glossary entry
12.2 s

Comfort and Convenience
Comfort preferences are personal: seating height, how upright a backrest feels, how warm a cabin is kept. Two people sharing one car often settle on different positions, which is why a short readjustment becomes part of the routine.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Spending a minute with the basic controls before setting off, among them lights, wipers, mirrors and demisting, means less searching later. Preparation of that kind belongs at the start of a journey rather than partway through it.
Multimedia and Connectivity
Keeping a phone charged across the day is its own concern, separate from playing music or taking a call. If a car offers a power outlet, a commute is a natural time to top the battery up.
