I think this is a very good car in many respects: Excellent fuel economy, fun to drive, great electronic driving features, love the rain sensoring wipers and rear cross traffic alert.

In 2015 I gave my wonderful and reliable 1996 Acura Integra sedan to my daughter, and searched for a hatchback that would compare favorably to it. I was disappointed until test driving the Mazda 3i and immediately falling in love with it - as I had with both my Integras (the first was a hatchback bought in 1986). Mazda managed to improve both performance AND gas mileage (40 mph on freeways), on its 3i, which is zippy, has a great turning radius, and has excellent safety ratings. It's truly fun to drive and a great value.

Lots of small annoying issues

I bought the car used, but the problems I describe should not have anything to do with it being "used". The good: - Looks nice - sporty (with caveat, see bad), very light body which handles well and responsive - pretty fuel efficient but is middle of pack for this compact category The bad: - Less rear leg room than new gen Civic and Corolla - Transmission jerky sometimes when accelerating from low speed. Is this because of Skyactiv higher lock up ratio? - Loud road noise. On highway it's very very loud. - I'm in Canada and have these problems in the cold -15C: rear hatch would not fully lock the hatch bounces around on bumps. Front door actuators do not work after cold night, so I need to open manually from inside. Emergency brake light comes on sometimes even though parking brake is not engaged, dealership says needs service, I've never seen this in a car since usually parking brake is separate mechanism from brake pads (exception Hondas?). I would recommend this car only if you can find one that's significantly cheaper than civic or corolla. Otherwise this car is not nearly as refined as competitors. Besides the looks, I don't understand why so many other people love this car so much.
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 .
