I have had the car for one month and driven about 350 miles so this review is based on a limited time period.

My 2016 Mazda 3 base is more noisy than my 2008 one. The inside cabin road noise is really annoying. Also my transmission makes alot of noise. The 2.0 L engine is a little weak but very fuel efficient. Steering wheel emblem started fading after a short time in my both CC-5 and 3 and infotainment system gave me a lot of headaches. Overall It’s a nice looking car but not as reliable and long lasting as Toyota.

The car looked nice, had a lot of room inside, and ran great for the nearly 4 years I drove it. I did have some problems with the radio unit and backup camera but finally got it fixed on warranty.

2016 S GT with Manual 4Door

Very quick car for its class. Fun to drive, fantastic highway mileage, city mileage is decent. I average 40mpg at 70mph at sea level. Interior is also nice for Iran price/class compared to other vehicles. Everything inside just looks well put together. Only complaint is road noise. Road noise on the highway is the loudest I've heard in any vehicle regardless of road type. It seems to be coming from the tires and is only bad above 60mph.

Great little car - excellent value. The fuel economy is great, it's fun to use the built-in application for tracking fuel economy to see how efficiently you are driving each trip. It doesn't have the best pick-up, but it's pretty good given it's a 4 cylinder engine. If you are in the market for a Honda / Toyota (which I was) - definitely consider Mazda.
