I have had my hatchback for a month and am very happy with it. I am getting 34 mpg in mixed driving. The 2.0 has adequate power with the 6spd. A little more power on the freeway is nice, but 3rd gear does the job. The ride is very smooth and interior noise is less than my old GLI. Overall this car feels like the old generation audi A3 but with more features. This quality and interior feel is very good for the class. Handling is good with a compliant enough ride. The technology including blind spot monitoring and navigation is absolutely worth it on the GT trim. I don't know why anyone would not get the hatchback version.
Like they say - excellent value and ZOOM ZOOM

This car is a great value. I drove a Honda Civic for a while, but it felt very puny and wobbly on the highway and when handling curves or driving in the rain. I traded up to a used BMW so I got used to firm handling and a safe, powerful ride. That's the Mazda 3, but way less money and no expensive, frequent maintenance because it's not overly designed. The standard transmission is the smoothest I've ever encountered, with an amazing anti-rollback feature for when you're stopped on a hill. The interior controls are so easy to operate. I've had no repairs so far. MPG is great. I haven't been keeping track of the specifics, but I rarely fuel up. It's really zippy and fun to drive, but it feels incredibly solid and safe, like a bigger German car and not like any other smaller car I've driven (Corolla, Civic, older Mazda Protege). Excellent in the city and excellent on the highway. No problems with light snow and heavy rain. CONS: The cloth seats are not the most comfortable on the market, and my experience with the standard transmission is being the driver is a much better experience than being the passenger.

I have only had my 2015 Mazda 3 hatchback for about 2 weeks, but I am totally in love with this car! This is my 3rd mazda(had a Mazda Protégé years back, and just traded in my Mazda MPV minivan). I wanted a smaller car now that my kids are getting older. All of my Mazdas have been great and this one takes the cake! What a fun car for the price! Looks like an expensive car for a smaller price. Love the detail stitching inside the car. Still getting used to all the bells and whistles on the car since I have never had one with navigation, Bluetooth, etc. Love the 4 free months of Sirius also. The ride is so smooth, and goes over bumps nicely. Goes around corners smooth too. I am loving the sunroof and heated seats as well. So much for your money with this car, and how can you go wrong with a Mazda? In my opinion, they are the best made cars out there. I would highly recommend this car to anyone!

From the moment I drove off the lot to now, almost one year later, I absolutely love this car. It's pleasant to drive, has a premium feel, and beautiful design in and out. It's a solid performer, but this little engine that could is held back by the fuel economy focused manual transmission gearing. Still, the shifts are satisfying and clutch feel is pretty good. First and second gear can be a bit tricky, but it does at least hold itself when starting on an incline. Interior design is upscale and shows good restraint in design. It's just flashy enough, with some shiny bits and soft touch plastics. I do love the front and center tach, and the red stitching throughout. The seats are comfortable and supportive, and interior room is ok. The back can be a tad tight if you pack four adults into this car. Gripes are minor. While I appreciate the heads-up display, I'm annoyed that there is no way to turn it off. You can only stop the display, but the panel will remain lifted which makes little sense. If you're not in your audio screen in the infotainment system, you will not see what station you're on or what song you're listening to. Lots of other cars can accomplish this, so I was disappointed when I realized this car can't. The infotainment system is otherwise great, when it works. System crashes and random reboots are more frequent than I'd like, however. Overall, this is an excellent car with minor glitches and quirks. This is my first Mazda, and I tell anyone I know to look at Mazda for their next car, as they truly make a superior product.

my three years with my mazda

the car was designed to have a rear TV camera and side alerts re vehicles. I got a car without any of these electronic aids. It is very difficult to parrale park as hyou can't judge your front nor rear end...You really need a rear tv and front bumber infrared warning devices which my car does not have. IF I had it to do over again I would stipulate the TV and the bumper hazardous warning indicators. I can live with just a AM and FM radio I donlt need all the other entertainment features I am missing. Courtesy lits on the doors would be nice I donlt have them again I have the minimum feature package. I always have a pocket flashlight but only havint the over head dome lite is not enough to find things on the floor in the dark. Ther e is a lot of wind noise when you drive withan open window. I diswcover tham most modern cars are now designed to have the widows closed and you drive using climate control. This is too bad as there is nothing quite as nice as having a cool breeze when you drive in the spring. I guess thats "progress".....
