Bought a brand new 2014 Sport3I with 35 demo miles ODO Dec 19 2014. After some 100+ miles testing in various environment I found the seats uncomfortable, long miles is not for this car, even after the few miles I driven. Mpg's not to what estamimatied, but lower. It is very underpowered, overtaking another car in left lane demands a lot of considerations. Interior noise very loud. My wife Rav4 (2005) is quieter (more responsive). The Cx5 was quieter at test drive, the streets are very raw. Missing back up camera, (not required by law, but will be) from my 2006 Lexus. Stereo system not upgradable except in-mount speakers. Rattling noise around windows at idle. ??

Reliable as heck

Just what I was looking for in a reliable inexpensive commuter. Excellent MPG (38 MPG+), dependable, low maintenance, regular gas. Only (minor complaint) is the radio controls (on/off and switching sources) are not intuitive.

My Mazda 3 Delivered at Purchase and Trade In

I drove my Mazda 3 for five years and loved it. I sold my BMW money pit and went back to a reliable Mazda 3. I got a great price on the purchase and a best trade in value I ever received on a car. I used Edmunds to help me determine the trade in value and came within $200 of the high end trade estimate, so thank you Edmunds!

It's very hard to choose any one model. I've had 3 different models and they were all great.
