I was going between the Civic and the 3 and of course I chose the 3 and 9 months later I am still so happy with my decision. The functional, flashy and fun to drive. I feel good walking up to it in a parking lot.
Best Value for My Money - Mazda 3

Bought this car, used, after my daughter bought a hatchback. Hers is an automatic, but I wanted a manual after owning several Mazdas in the past. They don't use the "Zoom Zoom" tag line for nothing! Great car, the Mazda3. I wanted the sedan, to be a little more 'mature', but it lives up to the sporty nature anyway. The Grand Touring trim line is very nice, rivaling much more expensive cars. We love the heated seats and the leather stays cleaner than cloth would. Interior finish is also very nice with usability and function built in. Controls are simple and easy to use. Hands-free driving is must these days! Exterior is easy to maintain, and I love my Copper Red mica paint color! Overall, a great car! Highly recommended!

After extensive research, I settled on this Mazda 3. It's been almost a year and I have to say I LOVE THIS CAR!!! I couldn't find a single bad review and now I know why. When I bought this car 10 months ago it had 71,000 miles. It now has 95,800 (I drive a lot for work) I'm 6 foot 2 and 320lbs and this car fits me like a glove when it comes to everyday driving. Long road trips are another story. The seats are very uncomfortable after about an hour and a half. This car is durable and well built. The only mechanical problem I've had, every now and then it doesn't want to start. It'll takes a few extra seconds to turn over. No one can seem to figure it out. The transmission can be a tad jerky in stop and go freeway traffic but nothing too severe. The only other complaint I have is the fact that theres a satellite radio button but no actual satellite radio installed. I had to buy and aftermarket SiriusXM kit. For my next car I'm thinking either a Mazda CX-5, Volvo XC70 wagon or a VW Jetta wagon. But I have to say for now, I'm pretty satisfied with this Mazda3.

I just got my new mazda and I have to say this is a really nice car. I am 18 year old male that is 5' 10" and it has plenty of room. I was originally wanted the 2012 Ford Focus, but after they did not come down on their price I went with the mazda. I am not dissapointed at all with my purchase I got an excellent deal on the car. Now when i drive i drive it like a mazda not a commuter car and i average about 25 miles per gallon. Before i bought the mazda I was driving a 1997 f-150 so the gas miledge to me is much better improvement.
One of the best cars in its class.

After 8 months with my Mazda 3 Grand Touring sedan I am still extremely happy with my purchase. Of the 5 cars I have owned over my lifetime this is the best car I have owned. The fun to drive quotient of this car should be the benchmark in its class. It does mean a firmer ride but for myself it is in no way objectionable. The interior features are astounding. Bluetooth, Bose stereo, heated seats, leather, etc. make for a very nice place to be. Overall you cannot go wrong with the Mazda 3, it is definitely a worthwhile competitor in the segment and in my opinion leaps and bounds better than the Civic and Corolla.
