Great Little Car

Very reliable. Sporty look with a sunroof added. It has been trouble free the whole time I’ve owned it with no problems at all. Fun to drive and comfortable.

I've had my Mazda 3 for just over a month and I'm very pleased with the car. Most of my driving is in the city and the SkyActive engine has delivered right at 30mpg on the first 5 tanks. I really like the driving dynamics and the overall road feel the car gives. My only complaint so far is the road noise at higher speeds. There's plenty of interior room and very comfortable seats.

Careful with the mazda lease offers

I strongly suggest staying away from their lease deals. We leased a 2013 Mazda 3 with a 36,000 mile limit on it. Returned the car a month ago with 24,000 miles on it. Car had normal wear and tear on it and then we received the final invoice from Mazda. They nickel and dime you to death and now we have a $ 1,000 bill to pay. I leased cars before but nothing comes even close. I couldn`t believe it when I got the invoice. We returned the car with 12,000 miles less than allowed and always brought it to the dealership for maintenance ( top dollar). Good thing I waited with a new one until final bill arrived. Mazda? Never again. We actually where never impressed with the car but thought it`s a cheap car to go to the store. Just don`t drive more then maybe two hours or your back will hurt so bad that you have to stop. Worst seats in a car I ever and it`s so underpowered it`s ridiculous.

Ranked really high for car insurance. I paid more to insure my mazda3 then I did for my brand new charger. They are easily damaged and costs a lot to fix. They smash better than a coke can.

Zooms past Hyundai

Recently purchased after trading in Hyundai Veloster. Like night vs. day, this fun vehicle is far superior to the Veloster. Acceleration, Handling, Comfort, Bluetooth, etc. can't be beat. This is my third Mazda and it was a mistake to think that Hyundai could be anywhere near as good as a Mazda. Zoom Zoom
