Mazda 3i Sport slightly short of expectations...

I really wanted to test drive a 3 sGT 6sp M/T but the dealership did not have any to test. I find this very discouraging considering one of the premises of buying a Mazda is the driver engagement via the manual transmission! That kind of killed the "zoom zoom" factor for me. The test drive was fun but the road was not too involving. Owning a 2014 Jetta Sportwagen TDI 6sp M/T, the 3i acceleration left something to be desired. I am accustomed to the torquey take-off of my VW TDI. The car feels very stable and controlled in turns and the steering is extremely crisp and precise. Road noise was acceptable. The interior of the cabin is well appointed even at the lowest trim level. I am not big on technology so I don't care about all the gadgets and gizmos for lane departure warning, park assist, or heated/ventilated seats. I just want a fun car to drive that won't break the bank. Shifting the transmission feels very satisfying; there is no mushy feel whatsoever and the clutch is weighted just right. I am still wanting to test drive the 3 sGT 6sp M/T and I am still undecided whether I would go for the 4dr VW Golf GTI S or the Mazda 3 sGT. If at all possible, I would opt for a 2017 VW TDI (Golf or Golf Sportwagen) but there's no telling if/when VW will bring back their 2.0 TDI engine.

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.
