Loved my Mazda 3...great car
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.).

Mazda 3 hatch
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.
