My only regret is that I don't have adaptive cruise control, assisted parallel parking and Apple Carplay. Other than that, the car is a dream.

Vroom Vroom - Mazda3 Hatch

The bluetooth drops occasionally and the plastic trim on the outer edge of the door window jam shows finger indentation from shutting the door from this point. The safety features are really good and the look and feel of the car are great for the price. The heated seats only heat the bottom, unlike my previous car which heated the lower back. No real issues with this car to speak of at this point. It's stylish, functional and gets great mpg without losing power.

My 3HB is a blast to drive. I just love getting behind the wheel of it and push it to its limits. The engine is powerful, with great responsiveness. Fuel economy could be better. The front seats are very comfortable, but finding a good driving position has been troublesome to watch the play of the center mounted Tachometer. Plus, the heads up screen gets cut off, making seeing the speedometer difficult at times trying to find the perfect driving position. The Navigation screen is placed high enough, but doesn't show very many characters on the XM radio screen, sun glare is often frustrating, and you can't zoom in on "up-to-date traffic". This car handles much better then my previous 2012 i sport HB. I have to admit Mazda makes a great car, I would love a few changes. It is hard to find cars with a manual transmission. No electric, hybrid, or all-wheel drive option.

This is such a fun car to drive! It's small and easy to maneuver but the hatchback gives the trunk extra room. The blindspot sensors are really helpful, especially since the back windows are kind of small. The backup camera is also very helpful for parking. One thing I'm not a huge fan of is the infotainment system. It's controlled by a knob rather than a touch screen, which can be a little sticky at times and hard to control. There's also no carplay feature but you can upload contacts from your phone, so that's pretty nice. I wish there were a few more buttons to control the audio (source button, scan and seek buttons) because it's a little inconvenient to have to browse through menus to get to those controls. Overall I'm a huge fan though and I'm loving my 2015 Mazda 3!

What you need to know: the 2015 sedan was light years ahead of other sedans. If you’re like to drive, if you like knowing you’re always in control, if you like beating others to the next red or green light, then this is your car! However, if practicality, durability, and room to breathe are on your list, I would look elsewhere. I had this model for a little over three years on a lease. I had the sedan, with the plastic hubcaps and infotainment screen smack dab in the middle of the dashboard. The driver cockpit is cramped, there just isn’t much moving around. It’s pretty dull to look at, too. The seats offer good support but dogs are not welcome in Mazda’s. The interiors are of high quality - good thing - but are not built for adventure. Such as you would find in a Subaru, Chevy, or Mitsubishi. This car is for the enthusiast who didn’t know they were one.
