Good looking and fun
The 2015 Mazda 3 S Grand touring Hatchback i have owned for a year has been a great car. Only issue has been the belt tensioner and wheel bearings both at around 100,000 miles

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!

The best of 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.

Never been happier with a car!
Bought this car used over a year ago and LOVE it. It now has 50k miles on it. I've had BMWs, Yukon, 4Runner, Odessey. I've recently driven a Lexus, Lincoln Continental, and Lincoln MKZ that belonged to family members. Now, I'm not saying that my little Mazda is better than a BMW, but I'd take my little Mazda over my BMW any day based upon the 'Happiness-per-Dollar" factor. I've only had to change the oil so far, but it's a lot cheaper than luxury cars and I expect all other maintenance costs will be cheaper too. The best part of this car are the controls for the entertainment/navigation system. The location and logic of the controls are easy and intuitive. I don't have to constantly lean forward and poke at the touch screen (which means no finger prints on the screen -Bonus!). The acceleration, speed, & handling are fun (important to note - I have the bigger engine). I could go on and on! Update: It's now Sept 2019....I've owned the car over two years now. Happy as ever!! I've put new tires on it but nothing else yet! LOVE this car!! Can't say enough great things about it. With new tires my MPG jumped up from 22 mpg to 26 mpg....all my driving is around town, lots of deliveries, stop-start so I think that's pretty good. Update: Sept 2020. I now have 76K miles on my Mazda. No maintenance or repairs in last year except for oil changes
