Fit and finish, drivability, looks, etc, are all fantastic. However, as a 6ft tall man, I cannot achieve a comfortable driving position. Very annoying. Steering wheel doesn’t come out far enough, so I have to move the seat forward and cramp my legs. Also, the drivers seat gives me lower back pain. If you are downsizing from a larger vehicle, make sure you are OK with this vehicle’s relatively small interior, and double check your driving position! Wishing I would have bought a larger vehicle.

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.

I owned a 2016 Mazda 3i and it got totaled so I went back to Mazda and got a 2018 Mazda 3 Sport. I must say I like it better than my Mazda 3i. The only thing I miss is the auto lights. But as for performance the 2018 Mazda is a bad ass car.

Mazda provides great value for the money. The car design and details are well thought out. Stocked bumper & sill guards would have presented a higher level of quality. I'm not crazy about not having a keyed ignition.

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.
