Hard to let go!

This car was a rock star for me! The manual transmission gave great control, pickup and fun ride. The body style on the 2015 sedan was the best-looking imo. Peppy car is in pristine condition with black rim add-ons and a tow hitch for a bike rack. I washed/cleaned it inside and out and serviced it often so don't worry about the mileage. The "accident" was slight damage to the body (beautifully repaired) but no structural damage. This was hard to let go...I just needed a truck!

I'm a car guy. Have owned over 100 cars and currently have 9 (mostly collector stuff) This Mazda 3 is my favorite over all the years. Absolutely fantastic to drive, great gas mileage and handling. Super comfortable. No complaints, no problems ever.

Mazda3 is worth the low cost

I bought it to replace a Jetta TDI without the TDI issues. I got what I needed for commuting at 1/2 the cost of a new Passat TDI. I get 38mpg, decent handling and performance. So far, there have been no repairs needed and I really don't expect them. The driver's seat has sagged and broken down with use and is now uncomfortable. My main issue is with the entertainment system/instrumentation. The location of the large touchscreen is distracting and the control buttons on the center console are not intuitive. They all require taking eyes off the road to be sure you have done what you intended. This evaluation is not just an old man thing. My 24 year old son puts a hat over the screen when he uses the car. The MT shifts smoothly and the motor is responsive for a 4cyl. MPG is still very good. After about 90000 miles it is still trouble free and my son has it full time. He drives very hard and is not happy with the performance but is otherwise happy with a free (to him) car.

I love the acceleration of my Mazda 3 as well as the turning radius. My complaints have more to do with my husband's big and tall body. He wants a car that is larger and that he steps up into instead of falling down into. The back seats are not suitable for anyone over 5'6".
