I just sold my 2017 Mazda 3 after 5 years of ownership and 30k trouble free miles. This was a really fun car to drive with fantastic steering and good zip from the 2.5 liter engine, which is a pretty big 4-cylinder for a car of this size. Loved the handling and the interior and all the features (radar cruise control, Bose stereo, etc.).

Great car. 61k and very little has gone wrong. 2.5 engine is great for a 4 banger and is torquey. Handling, with the exception of the torque steer, is great for a car of this price. Paint is terrible, looked sandblasted by 40k.

Traded Subaru for a Mazda

Prior to a Mazda3 Grand Touring I had a 2015 Subaru Impreza that had a constantly falling apart interior within two months of me owning it. I finally got fed up with the car and traded it in for a 2017 Mazda 3 Grand Touring and I have grown to love this car, it is the best driving car I have ever owned and the interior has been a dream except some wear on the leather on the drivers seat that I am going to make sure to prevent in the future. The safety features are amazing and has saved me from a few car accidents in the year and a half I have owned it. Gas mileage isn't great but that is more of my lead foots fault but when I drive at slower speeds and watch my MPG I get around 27 MPG in the city and about 34 MPG on the freeway.
