I love my new sporty ride. It feels great owning a new car. Especially when it is as sporty looking as this. I am a big guy but getting out of this car is no problem for me. It handles great. However the acceleration isn't as good as I had hoped, but it gets the job done. I am very satisfied. You know one of the main reasons I chose the Mazda 3 is the body style. I am just being honest.

I bought my 2010 GX sedan (I don't know which trim level equivalent that is in the States) in 2020 when I had had enough of my 2013 Dodge Dart, but I cover that nightmare in its own review. It had 142,000 kilometers (87,000 miles) on the clock when I bought it, which was about 60,000 km more than the Dart had. What a breath of fresh air this car is. Not a single thing gone wrong in the two years I've had it, other than changing the rear shocks, but that was more of a maintenance thing than something gone wrong. I must admit, when this generation of 3 came out, I thought the front 'smile' looked goofy, but I have come to like it. The dashboard with the two large round instruments looks near perfect and gives a really sporty vibe to the interior. I like how the little display says 'hello' and 'goodbye' too. This car has the 2.0 liter engine and a 5-speed manual. With 152 hp and 135 tq, this is clearly not a performance car, but you can feel the little engine trying its best to please you, and I like that a lot. The car has a happy personality and is quite fun to drive. Some might complain the ride is a little too harsh, but it suits me just fine. 55 series tires absorb a lot of the road imperfections while not sacrificing handling too much. The 5 speed manual offers smooth and crisp shifts, and while a 6 speed might be a tad better for highway use, it really is a small point and doesn't deter much from the enjoyment of the drive. Being the GX model, it is more on the basic side, but I actually prefer that. The fewer electronic bells and whistles, the fewer things to go wrong. Then again, not only is this my first Mazda, it is the first Japanese car I've ever owned. If the electronics are as well engineered as the rest of the car, I guess those bells and whistles wouldn't give me cause for concern either. Every day when I'm out on the roads, I see dozens of this generation 3 out and about, Considering these cars are now between 9-12 years old attests to the fact they are really well built, something that is quite rare with modern cars. I bought mine with the intention of keeping it for a year or so until I could afford to purchase a new car, but I've come to like this model quite a bit. Solidly built, basic without feeling cheap, fun to drive, reliable, fairly economical, and maintenance costs are low. You can't go wrong with a Mazda 3!

After 12 years of a Miata...

As many others did I researched and drove a number of vehicles and settled on the Mazda for some fun factor. After the '96 Miata, the 3 took a bit of getting used to, far lighter feel in the steering, clutch, shifter. but I've adapted. On my 21 mile commute I am getting 33 mpg by paying attention and not invoking to much "fun factor." I am quite satisfied with the power from the 2.0 engine couple with the manual transmission. Interior layout is good, seating, something that takes a long road trip to judge is great. Yes,I would recommend that car.
Great price to value ratio

I love this car, traded a 99 Jeep Cherokee on the cash for clunkers program. no regrets so far, it's a lot of fun to drive and the fuel mileage is double that of the Jeep. Build quality seems to be excellent and the car has good acceleration and shifts smoothly and precise.
