2018 Mazda 3 Grand Touring 4dr Hatchback (2.5L 4cyl 6M)

On paper, the Mazda3 checks a lot of boxes. The powertrain is reasonably powerful, yet fuel efficient. Few vehicles in this class offer features like LED lighting, navigation, leather interior, and radar cruise control, especially when paired with a manual transmission. 2018 addition of Android Auto and Apple CarPlay is also a plus. In the real world, however, my experience has been mixed. Around town, the ride quality is harsh and bumpy, while at highway speed the steering is light and almost darty. Build quality is also questionable, with numerous intermittent interior rattles, poor radio reception, premium paint that is already chipping to the primer in spots, and excessive NVH. Unfortunately, dealer service has also been dismissive of most of these concerns. This is my 3rd Mazda, and I want to love this car, but given my experience I'll probably look elsewhere next time.

I have a 2012 -3 and it is the best handling car I have ever driven. When I buy a newer one it will have the 2.5 so I can clean the clocks on a winding road. I love my 3 sedan and will buy another.

Purchased 2018 sport with 6 speed. Just a basic car. Had previous Mazda's and was never disappointed. First tankful of gas in combined driving netted 40.2 mpg. Comfortable to sit in and just get to where you want to go. Only mistake.... should have gotten the preferred package. Not bad, a new car for $15,800 plus tax.

Don't even think about it, just buy it. You won't regret it. I've had my car for a little over a month and there are still features the car has that I'm just now noticing. If I had to complain about one thing, it would be the power. I looked at and test drove a lot of hatchbacks and this one felt the most spacious, luxurious and smooth out of them all... but was also just about the slowest. Mazda could have done better. It would have been nice to have the option for a turbo engine, which would make it more comparable to the other companies hatchbacks. It's a bummer that the Mazda6 got the turbo engine and is only offered in a sedan with a automatic transmission. Besides that, the car is amazing, beautiful, has awesome features and is a really smooth ride. I get a lot of compliments. I sold a 2010 Mazda3 for a 2018 Mazda3 and I'm sure my next car will be another Mazda

This car is both a blast to drive and basically drives itself. By buying the manual transmission you feel more of the car and road and with radar cruise control, smart brake support, and smart city brake support when you want to relax a bit in highway or city traffic, you can do so safely. The car will slow you down and allow you to set your proximity to other vehicles all the while helping to protect you from any collision and relax a bit if in traffic manual operation isnt your strong suit. There's many other features and benefits of this car but it is most definitely a drivers car. Very enjoyable and stylish and the kids love it too!
