I wasn't happy about having to trade my Jeep Wrangler in on a car, but I'm glad I decided to drive the Mazda 3. I have to say I really like the car. I was worried we would feel like we were on top of each other but surprisingly there is plenty of room inside. For Louisiana roads the ride is very smooth. The sound system is awesome and I love the controls in the middle console. I love the look of the vehicle on the outside and inside. There is plenty of trunk room. I'm very satisfied with my purchase and will definitely look at other Mazda vehicles.

I've only had it for a month so some of my ratings really don't apply but overall...I love this car. It's fun to drive. Looks great. The dash is laid out so logically everything is just where I would instinctively reach for it. It just feels good. Feels like Mazda is a best kept secret because you don't see the same car every where you turn like other brands in this class. A year later and I am still incredibly happy with my choice! Still fun!!!

Chose a Mazda over another Honda

The 2016 Mazda 3 iGrand Touring model has everything I could want from this style of vehicle. Safe, reliable, economical. With some great features including navigation and a bluetooth system that has better sound quality than my wife's Mercedes. And, it's fun to drive. All at a good price. Couldn't be happier with our decision

I bought this car recently and I liked it . It's got everything you want at an Affordable price . I've owned a BMW 535 before, but this car truly a great purchase! Honestly, everything is as good as a BMW but the front seats which need little work to enhance the driver's comfort.

Truly a Wonderful Vehicle

2016 Mazda 3 s Grand Touring 4dr Sedan (2.5L 4cyl 6A)

I've never owned a Mazda before but I am a huge fan of foreign vehicles and replaced my older vehicle with this Mazda 3. The Mazda 3 s grand touring has a feature that the other models didn't have - a sport mode. When engaged, it makes the vehicle feel and act like a 6 cylinder engine which is helpful when accelerating onto a highway. Never having owned a 4 cylinder engine due to concerns over lack of power, this 4 cylinder engine is surprisingly powerful even without using the sport mode. I like the huge amount of technology in this model as well and the entertainment system is first class. The car has a lot of leg room and storage areas in the interior as well as a good sized trunk. The ride is extremely quiet and smooth. All the safety features they've put into this model are impressive. If you want a really first class comfortable ride with all the bells and whistles at your fingertips, go for the total technology package on the car. Well worth it.
