Not Like My PR5 or Speed3

2014 Mazda 3 i Sport 4dr Hatchback (2.0L 4cyl 6M)
I hated to sell my 2002 PR5 which drove like a sport car ... was a Miata in wagon. It had 234M and worried about breaking down on long trips My 2014 3 rides quieter (not a bad thing), gets better gas mileage 40 vs 30 highway but not as fun driving as the PR5. For me, this car drives "numb" ... I can't a feel of it because it's so smooth. I owned a 2007 Speed 3 as well so my other … Mazda's were sporty, driver's car. If you want a "smooth", sporty Vanilla car with very good gas mileage, I recommend this car. 2.0 has strong enough power for my needs, but do miss the other cars.

2014 Mazda 3 i Sport 4dr Hatchback (2.0L 4cyl 6M)
Ive owned my 3 for 5 1/2 - 6 Years, i have noticed and seen that this vehicle stands up to its name. Mazda has made a really fun vehicle with outstanding MPG i make average 35 to 38 MPG ( i have made up to 40 MPG,no BS. ) I'm blown away by the gas milage and the high compression motor they added to it. I haven't had any serious issues with this vehicle as i keep up with regular … maintenance and ONLY use Castrol GTX Full Synthetic (As Mazda recommends). I do not like however that there is not a lot of options as far as increased performance. The only thing i have seen to put into this is a Cold air intake and an Exhaust. But nothing that would make it more beefy. I do recommend this vehicle, if you are a first time buyer, well worth it!
