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.

I looked at all the other cares in this class and as usual, Mazda provided the best value for the money. It also is stylish, reliable, safe and fun to drive.

Got my Mazda 3 GT since 3 years now and never put a penny in the car except oil and gas. Only thing i change is front brake. The only cons i can say is the space in the back, i measure 6'1" and its pretty tight when someone sit behind me.

The Grand Touring with Nav package is as nice as any car in its class and has atributes of very expensive cars. The ride and engine pep are really perfect. The bose system will blow you away. All aps and nav are easy to use and centraly controlled. Best part is dealer support, they have been amazing.
