I have always had used cars until my last one left me on the side of the road with my 2 y/o on a summer day. I test drove almost every car under $25,000 and I don't regret my decision at all after 2 years. Not 1 thing has broken, failed or wore out! I love the 6 speed manual. Fun car to drive, is comfortable, cheap to own and is reliable! Would highly recommend buying!

I would rate everything about this car higher than I had hoped, with the exception of road noise. The engine is extremely quiet, but noise from tires and wind reminds me that this is not a luxury car! But the quality and amenities are good, and reliability seems great. Acceleration is impressive, too, even with the 2 L.

If you want a reliable vehicle, a car that has the power and economy to go with it, can handle like a BMW with out the expensive price tag, you will not get to know all the mechanics by name, very safe, has the aggressive look and great gas mileage, superb technology,this the car for you. Enjoy the exhileration of exceleration.

The car Is fun to drive, comfortable and well-designed. The cabin is a little noisier on the freeway than I thought it would be. That aside, I highly recommend the Mazda 3 hatchback with the 2.5 engine.

Thrilled with my used S Grand Touring Hatchback

I've owned both 1985 and 1993 Mazda RX7s and loved them. I am astounded that this four door S Grand Touring with all of the options only weighs 202 pounds more than the two door 1993 RX7 sports car! Amazing that they can pack so much luxury and features into this car and still keep the weight down. I like that you can manually shift the six speed automatic and with the stick or the paddle shifters on the steering wheel. When I need to bust out fast I hit the sport button and put the transmission into manual shift and it rocks. I don't miss having a manual transmission at all. The car is such a pleasure to drive with so many features to make me comfortable and safe. I'm loving the radar adapted cruise control and the reverse warnings. The Bose sound system is excellent and the interior detail reminds me of BMW quality with the leather. I'm 6 months into my used car experience and have about 58,000 miles on it. I replaced the brakes with the Power Stop Z23 Evolution kit (for about the same price as OEM parts) and it was a definite improvement in stopping power and brake feel. I've got the OEM roof rack for surfboards and if you fold down one back seat you can stack snowboards back there. The Android Auto integration makes a big improvement over the stock system so that is well worth it if you have the choice. The car feels great to drive so I am thrilled with my car and now I like road trips again.
