Used 2013 Mazda 3 i Sport 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl 6M) Consumer Reviews

Econo Star 2.0 SkyActiv

These are more driver oriented than most of the competition and I'm extremely satisfied with the car, its driving dynamics and overall quality. Owned since new, now at 135k miles. Upgraded to 16x8 wheels and 225 aspect ratio tires which improved cornering but took away a little mpg. Prior to that 39 on Interstate was common. The only negative would be road noise. The Continental tires improved that but the car is still noisy as with most modern budget oriented cars today. Otherwise it has been very reliable and the ONLY item replaced to date, besides maintenance items has been the battery. Original brake pads, clutch, alternator, sensors, everything! This replaced my 2000 Protege with 247k miles and I'm a big Mazda fan so if you're considering one for yourself, I recommend driving one and if you like it, buy it.
