The 2015 Mazda3 is a hassle to drive. It is nothing like the 2012 Mazda3. It is problematic. The radio/navigation does not work well at all. It can NEVER be turned off, just muted. It freezes up, restarts, deletes favorites, and is overall poorly designed. Mazda offers very little solutions. On top of this, the MPG is grossly inflated. I have not gotten over 30mpg ever in 5 months. I typically average 27-29mpg. The gas tank is smaller than the 2012, so total range is less than 400. The 2012 would have a range of 500-600. I am so disappointed that I let my 2012 go for this 2015.
Looks Good But Quality Issues....

Within the first year, some of the plastic trim below the interior front passenger door handle broke off. I thought it was just a fluke but it was really an indicator of what's to come. I've had this car 5 years now and it has just 56,000 miles, however, within this time, the entertainment system touch screen has ghost touching issues (there is an open service request by Mazda to fix this issue), horn has gone out, the driver side window regulator went out, and had to replace the purge valve. Furthermore, the car just doesn't sound right. Also, it has a loud interior when driving on the highway, and Bluetooth issues when connecting to iPhone. We haven't had any major issues with it so far, but I would still consider this too many repairs for such low mileage.

-Infotainment system crashed just after 3/36 warranty expired. Dlr wanted 1k to replace “mother board”. -Also, wiper pump doesn’t work (checked you tube how to replace, have to remove entire front grille). -Fuel level drops like a rock at 1/2 tank. Fixed the wiper pump, - Keeping up on oil changes, changed battery, replaced all 4 tires, -was told by dlr. suspension bushings need replaced. -Replaced serpentine belt (doesn't cost much) (All this just after 3/36 warranty expired). Infotainment was first to go. =Had a recall re: emgcy brake, after vehicle inspection: front suspension bushings have to be replaced. -However, the good news is @ almost 117,000 ( June 2021) it still runs good. (keep up on the oil changes) However I don’t believe I will buy another mazda
Great little car

After driving this car for a year I am very satisfied with its performance. I get about 38mpg when I take care not let the car idle for long periods. With mileage like that you can't expect strong acceleration except possibly with a turbo. Ride and handling are exceptional for this size car and I really like the styling .
