A sub $20,000 Maserati?

The 2017 Mazda 3 is a lot of car for the money. Interior materials better than anything in this class. (can you say Audi?) The chassis and slick six speed manual makes for an entertaining ride. I'm not sure how the G-Vector control works, but this is the best handling front wheel car I've owned (Previously owned a Hyundai Tiburon, Mitsubishi Eclipse and a Mazda MX3) This is my first four door car and it looks great. Park it next to a $70,000 Maserati Ghibli, and you'll wonder why Mazda doesn't have to pay Maserati a royalty fee for every car they sell. This is a great looking car. Have only owned it for three month so I cant speak for long term reliability. But I've had zero issues to date. Really like this car.

I shopped around and found Mazda provides more value for the money spent than any other similar car on the market. It is a fun car to drive and very comfortable at the front.

We bought this car from new. The car has almost 90,000 km now, while i love most aspects of the car there are a few I despise. Weight saving measures are on the extreme here the windshield glass is extremely thin, I think this is a new industry trend but my glass specialist says 1/3 cars he replaces glass on are mazda. By what im saying you can guess the windshield has cracked infact it cracked within the first 4 months. Again at 6 months and 8 months granted they were stone impacts. Many of the other vehicles ive owned have taken hits like this no problem. The next issue with mazda is their paint, dont expect your new mazda to last long in the ways of looking new. We had the car krowned so no rust but any stone impact or other debris impact to the body of the car causes the paint to fleck off in chips. I had the car when new ceramic coated to avoid this issue but im guessing the primer layer isnt bonding with the steel properly. My car at less than 100,000km (60,000mi) looks like a spotted Dalmatian, i regularly fill paint chips but i couldn't keep up with this car. I had a 2010 subaru legacy i had that was traded just before we got the mazda it was black in colour and the salesman thought the car was a year old in black thats hard to do. Every other aspect of the car is very good handling, power. Manual transmission feels and shifts amazing. Overall im happy with the car but would be unlikely to buy one new and take the depreciation hit when the car wont stay looking nice.

After reading and watching a lot of positive reviews decided to test drive. Sedan GT, automatic transmission. Car design both in and out is outstanding. Superior and timeless. A little beauty. However as soon as I got in, my confusion started to build up. First - infotainment system. I am having difficulties imagining myself to get comfortable and safe with it. Ever. There is no way safely operate the car and look for different radio station. Or is matter of time? I don't know. OK. Ride. Ride is indeed superior. Sporty and soft at the same time. I din't feel that I am driving small sedan (and I came to dealership in Acura TL). Better then Dodge Dart, Elantra, Corolla, Cruze. Didn't drive new Civic yet. The only disappointment - that little plastic display of actual speed and speed limit. It is impossible to fold it down if you don't want it. It is there all the time, and it is distracting view. The biggest disappointment is a price. You can lease nicely loaded Toyota Camry, Acura ILX or Honda accord sport for lesser money. So in my view Mazda 3 GT is for real Mazda enthusiasts, otherwise I see nor reason to go for it.
