Overall this car has been fantastic, zero issues and the only gripe I have is that the driver side is a little cramped, I’m 6’3 so I guess I’ll have this problem with just about any car.

I just picked up a used 2018 Mazda 3 a few months ago and absolutely love it. I test drove dozens of cars and in the compact class the difference in quality and comfort in the 3 vs almost anything else definitely stood out. Extremely comfortable driver's seat is great for long trips. Also, paired with the 6sp manual, it is very fun to drive. Not exactly the fastest car in the world with the 2.0, but handles great. Mazda knows how to make a fun to drive and engaging vehicle. Not to mention the car looks great in the Deep Crystal Blue Mica color. Without a doubt the best looking car in it's class in my opinion. UPDATE:. After putting about 40,000 miles on the car after about a year and a half, I love the Mazda 3 as much as ever. It has been extremely reliable with no issues at all. Only money I've put in it is basic maintenance. Would not hesitate to recommend this car even with the cost to get one shooting up thanks to the chip shortage and what the used car market looks like today.
