Some don't come with cd players, BUY the JAPANESE one!!! Love this car it just seems a little smaller in leg room in the sunroof, Also I have the gt with like no lane assist or Cruise radar love. I'm just very disappointed I wasn't told about any of this. Do they make the parts in Mexico? I too wish the hatch had a little more support for the drive inn. I'm afraid I'm gonna break it! Seriously I do absolutely love this car but come on Mazda! Someone please tell me my chocolate accents are from Japan and just assembled in Mexico, Nothing against Mexico at all I just wanna know if my parts will be Japanese? Resale if not is a huge factor. And no cd player come on, WHIFF! Also no plate screw holes in grill or back except 2 and 2? 2017 Mazda 3 5 door GT...Any Answers?

Picked this up as a new 2017 (yes in 2019). Had 890 miles on it and out the door for $21k. Got the new car warranty with it and everything. Car is nothing short of awesome and handles perfectly with plenty of power. Has the grand touring package so plenty of added features and should do me tons of good for a long time. This car is timeless and is an adults hatchback as i dont feel like some high school kid in a focus rs or something... These guys meant buiseness and I can understand the appeal for them to market a car towards successful adults. Great job Mazda and look forward to many happy miles on this thing!!! ***UPDATE*** New review now that I've had the car for about a week. First of all, don't be afraid of this due to price and what some people may say about lack of updates. Sometimes a car company just executes a well-rounded vehicle with the technology currently available... That's exactly what Mazda has done here. Nothing inside the car is newly developed or outrageously techy. That being said they've done a VERY good job with this and I believe that it'll go quite a few miles and provide some happiness doing it. Engine: Though it isn't turbo'd, a rotary, or anything crazy, the 2.5 is a very good motor. Quiet and refined it's meant for those that are past the kid days of old and grown out of the Focus RS but still want that sporty feeling and all the comfort that goes with it.There's more than enough pull to keep almost anyone happy yet it feels grown up in a sense. Handling: This is where this car shines the most. Ride is well balanced and planted with steering inputs being super precise and bumps being adequately absorbed while maintaining that sporty feel with the 18" wheels/tires. With spirited driving on an circle-type on ramp I clocked about 65 at the end of the curve which is remarkable. Great job here Features: As stated before this isn't some feature rich car meant to keep you busy. It's more minimalistic in nature and everything has a purpose. But what it does do, it does extremely well... Bose sound is nothing short of amazing, everything is always there and works when needed, and the way this things doesn't understeer in hard turning is mind blowing.... it stays very planted! Comfort: Though it lacks lumbar support, saved driver settings and things like that it is a very comfortable car to be in for a long time.I spend about an hour of my day in it and haven't felt fatigued at all. Plus the heated seats are perfect.... Actually wish mine had the heated wheel and everything that goes into the tech package... but got a great deal for mine. Gas Mileage: Right now I think it's too soon to say as I've got just over 1.1k miles (800 when purchased) on mine (driven about 300 miles since bought) yet still have 1/4 of a tank. Not sure how much of that gas has been in the car since it was put on the lot about 3 years ago but I'm sure I'll see an improvement after I get some premium in it... been averaging about 26mpgs with mixed/aggresive driving... which seems pretty good. Overall impression of this car is very good. Though things in the car may be of a dated sense it's been done very well and I haven't heard of many dissapointed mazda owners much less seen many for sale used without some substantial miles on them...

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.

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.).

We were looking for a nice economic car for our kids and have found the Mazda 3 to be a great value. Purchased the car mainly due to safety rating and equipment.
