You can get a Honda Civic, a Toyota Corolla, a Nissan Sentra, or a Hyundai Accent for this price and honestly the design of the Mazda 3 is the best looking and the interior is sleek and great. It is the best bank for your buck and it honestly is a great car.

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.

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

From the moment I sat in the drivers' seat at the dealership and drove this car, I fell completely in love with my Mazda 3. And 6 years later, I still feel excited when I get in my car. We have not had any major problems over this time, so about once every six months I take it in for an oil change and general maintenance and we're good to go for another six months. I would definitely buy another Mazda in the future.

Sporty and Frugal

My 2014 Mazda3 Touring sedan with manual transmission was a hoot to drive, and got really nice MPG (27 city/41 highway). The styling, steering, handling, engine, and transmission were all fantastic, but it was tight inside, and with a good amount of hard plastic around the edges - though the dash was padded. Trunk and back seat were ok, and I really wish there was lumbar support for at least the driver’s seat; however, the blind spot monitoring and push button start were touch above. By 90 kmi I’d had the water pump and a rear strut replaced under warranty, and paid for a new set of brakes and tires. I hated the 8-bit looking infotainment pod, the speakers were crap, the ride was loud and somewhat stiff, but man, was it a fun car to just romp and fly around in (safely and efficiently)!

I always believe that Japanese's cars were the best . I have been taking care of my car with all maintenances. I replaced transmission fluid 6 months ago , car had 117000kms . 6 months later my transmission has a delayed from park into driver for 5 seconds . I was told by the dealer that my car needs a new transmission.
