Steering wheel feels great to grip. Does not feel like a front wheel drive car. Manual shifter is not only slick but has good insulation, almost no noise or vibration! 2.3L engine is smooth and powerful but gas mileage is not good, about 24 mpg (combined driving). Pretty roomy inside for a small car. Not much room for driver's feet, gas pedal and brake pedal are too close together. (This is with manual trans.) Standard single disc CD stereo sounds great, better than that in my '06 Lexus GS 300! Horn is too weak, a safety concern! Most unexpected: I still CRAVE to drive it, although I have been driving for 35 years and have sampled over 10,000 cars as a mechanic!
Excellent car but not for winter

I've been very pleased with my 2007 Mazda 3 Sedan. We had a lot of difficulty finding a car with decent MPG that my 6'4" boyfriend could fit in. This car has been a joy to own and over the last 2 years I've only had to replace the battery and do regular maintenance. She has been very reliable and I would change very little about her. I live in Montana and would not suggest this car for winter conditions if you drive much. We manage to get by using our second car for the worst days. Being 2 wheel drive, low to the ground and light in weight is not a combination conclusive to safe winter driving.

13.5 years with Samantha, Sam, my manual 5 Saab, left me looking for slick escapes from daring edgework, tires squealing but suspension reliable and hugging seats. Got 'em in the Mazda3: tightest turning at speed, I'm still discovering wide slow sweet sweeps; body's external angles impress, as internal fits tightly to my average sized frame. I love gloving my lats, glutes and knees into the sculpted driver's pit, then telescoping out and laying steering wheel in my lap. But, 3,333 miles in my hands, I prefer my Saab's H handles. Named "Bluey, because it's SO blue!" by my 7 y/o, the Mazda3 performance out-classes the clumsier Mazda6, impresses with pickup, quiet, and rail-like free-wheeling.
Great Car

2007 Mazda 3 s Grand Touring 4dr Sedan (2.3L 4cyl 5M)

This is a great vehicle. I got the s grand touring manual; it picks up very rapidly, although the shifter seems rubbery. In addition, the interior is flawless, as well as the exterior. The materials used inside are of good quality and the seats are comfortable. I have only had the car for three weeks, so I cannot speak of reliability. Fuel economy is not great. The leather is nice as well as the Bose stereo. The rims are great looking. I got the black exterior with black interior. I have received many thumbs up from strangers. I recommend this car to anyone looking for a fun and safe economy car.
Fun car to drive

I just bought this car and I love it. This is the first 4 door car I have owned and it is very comfortable. Fun to drive. I love the style and sporty look of this car. I want to drive it all the time. There are some very nice features that make this car a great purchase. It has a luxury feel at a very affordable price. It has a lot of room considering that it looks small from the outside. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a sporty 4 door car.
