2014 Mazda 3 i Touring 4dr Hatchback (2.0L 4cyl 6A)
17 of 18 people found this review helpful
I went from a BMW 325i to this and do not miss it at all. It turns with no effort and no body roll even taking a turn at 40 mph! I drive about 30 miles a day and I average 32 mpg having a mixed road type (7 miles city, 23 highway) and it takes me about 2 weeks to get to empty. Ever since I got it, I have never spent more than $35 to fill it up on regular where as the BMW cost about $70-$80 on premium. The infotainment does get a little used to but its mostly simple. I have the feature where it can read my text messages while I'm driving (Doesn't show you the actual message for safety reasons) and it works fine with an iPhone 5c.
Some early impressions

I've only been driving this Mazda 3 Touring hatchback for a little over a week, so take what I say for what it's worth. However, I am comparing this 2014 to my 2004 Mazda 6 i manual 5 speed which I traded for the current car. First, let me say I'm loving the looks of this car and enjoy the overall performance. While it's no powerhouse, the 2.0 has enough Zoom-zoom to feel spirited and enjoyable to drive. Unfortunately with the combination of 155 hp and auto transmission, there is a noticeable lack of power compared to my 10 year old Mazda 6. By comparison, I was able to attain at 0-60 time of 8.4 seconds in the 6 but only a disappointing 10.5 seconds in the new Mazda 3.

Purchased 07/05/14 Enjoying my new white Mazda3 S Touring Hatchback, so far. Only complaints would be the road & interior noise. MPG below EPA estimates. Ride is a bit stiff but still comfortable. Just about everything else has been above my expectations for the compact class. The engine is quick, quiet & smooth & I really enjoy the extras like the HUD & Blind Spot Monitor. A great purchase overall!
2.5 years and still enjoying this car

Model S Grand Touring. Purchased brand new in the summer of 2014. Plusses: - Nice looking, comfortable interior (almond). - Zoom Zoom (see below) - keyless doors, hatch, and start button - Adaptive Headlights - parts of the Infotainment Minuses: - Fuel efficiency *far below* what's advertised: I average only 29mpg when driving conservatively (with hardly any air conditioning). - no ashtray / hidden trash area - Infotainment system is good, but not great. Road/tire noise: a bit loud on certain roads Water hides in cracks after car washes, and comes out after driving away from car wash; creates water spots I have to remove myself.

My 2014 Mazda 3 iTouring hatch with the 2.0 engine has been a terrific car. It is safe, comfortable, versatile and fun to drive. While purchased primarily for maneuvering in the city and suburbans, I have driven it on several 4-6 hour trips on Interstates and it keeps up just fine while delivering great mileage. This remains a solid car, with no rattles or other age-related signs of decline. Seats are exceptionally comfortable, and seating position is perfect. It’s also remarkably quiet. There have been NO problems. My wife bought a 2018 CX5 and we love it for all the same reasons.
