Drove a 2008 Mazda 3 until a tree fell on it. It had the larger engine and served me well. I'm enjoying the 2017 but the gas mileage is not good so far. Getting a combined 24 mpg and not what they claim on the window sticker. If fuel economy is high on your list, then go with the 2.0. If power and fun is high on your list, I highly recommend the 2.5. Also, there is some discussion about Japan made versus Mexico made. I test drove both and chose the Mexico 2.5. It was flawless inside and out. If the reliability is close to my 2008 then I will be a happy camper.

Cons: Fuel economy continues to be poor compared to competition. Climate control sometimes has a mind of it's own when starting the car. Can't seem to find a sweet spot for the power seats. Original tires are wearing out quickly with only 23,000 miles. Yoga positioning needed to get in and out of the car if you don't want to bump your head. Poor rear seating accommodations. Pros: Still fun to drive. Has some punch with the 184 hp engine. Great cornering and handling. Timelessly beautiful styling inside and out. No service issues.

I looked around for months at different cars, this model caught my eye and was very happy with the research on safety and fun driving. Love that some many extras come with the car. Only thing I was surprised that navigation was not included. Other than that very happy with the car. It's a great, fun car to drive and the gas mileage is a win, win for us.

I have a 2017 Mazda3 hatch...overall it has been a good car until recently. I was driving home last week when I heard a big explosion. I thought I blew a tire but it soon became obvious my sunroom blew out. I brought my car in to the dealership and they told me it was hit by a rock (moon rock)? Still under warranty but too bad! I was then told that the sunroof is non tempered glass....hmmm...this is a low car and I have already replaced the windshield and have several windshield nicks. Why non- tempered? I will not buy a 3 again...too many issue...loved the zoom zoom, but too low and too many issues.
