After more than 9 years this car has needed zero repairs--never had anything this reliable. Not even squeaks or rattles. Only basic maintenance needed. Very sporty, quick, handles well, fun to drive, great gas mileage. We get 37-42 mpg on the highway, and about 31-32 mpg for combined driving. Rides a bit rough and road noise is a bit loud, and while the seats are very comfortable for a couple of hours or so they feel too firm on long trips, so not as great on very long trips, but 4-5 hours of driving in a day isn't too bad. Or maybe my butt is just too skinny, but my wife's skinny ass likes the seats just fine. I just wish the hatchback was more like a station-wagon shape as that deep long slope reduces cargo space, but we've traveled for a couple of weeks in it, and we don't travel light, so there is a lot of room.

Looks Nice - Rides Nice. I didn't even bother testing the standard 2.0 liter, for me the 2.5 liter engine is worth the extra $. Very nice acceleration even using straight automatic but added responsiveness when using the manual shifting. It has the option of manual shifting from the stick or paddles on steering wheel. There is also a "Sport" mode that will act as an overdrive and really gets you off the line quick with out having to manually shift. One point to make is that if you are in straight automatic you won't know what gear your in. If you switch to manual mode the dashboard will go through the progression 1-6 and not just "D". My 2007 Mazda 6 i sport showed the gear progression regardless and I feel like that makes more sense because I know I'm in 'D'rive but I don't know what gear its in. Also selected this vehicle because it had the Bose sound system. Great sound system for what it is. Had to get use to the front center speaker on top of the dashboard. Seemed like it was the only speaker I was listening to but with a few adjustments you can make it your own. Cargo space in the hatch area is good but not like an SUV, so don't expect it to be huge. There is limited storage space around the front seating areas but it will force you to keep things to real essentials. Headlights are nice and bright and you can manually adjust them up and down, the slightly annoying part is that at the most upward setting they still seem a smidge low. Meaning when your driving uphill say, they seem to be pointing directly to the road and you can't see what lies further up the hill. All in all the few minor cons are easily overlooked since my overall expectations are being met. Time will tell if this 2014 Mazda 3s holds strong mechanically and electronically but my 2007 Mazda 6 gave me a solid 160K miles so I expect the same here.

Handsome. Fun. Tech. 3 words that sum up my new 3. I have had it for a week and the new car emotion hasn't subsided. The car simply looks good. It looks good at all angles. I have a snowflake pearl paint that looks good in the sun and somehow doesn't hide the nice lines of the fender across the body. I am your average commuter that doesn't necessarily have the luxury of a twisty commute but it is quite fun to steer the car. It gives me a good feel of the road. The infotainment center is awesome. It's pretty quick to pair your phone through BT or USB. There isn't a lag time at all when connecting. The commander control has a good feel. I find myself using it than steering controls.
