Luxury is affordable. This car is has a gorgeous dashboard that belies its price. The 6 speed automatic transmission combined with a great Skyactive G engine makes driving fun. We enjoy driving the car in manual mode since we currently own a 2011 Mazda 3 with five speed manual. Mazda is a small company that works hard at making great cars. Love our new 2021 Mazda 3 model. We test drove other cars with the CVT transmission like Honda and Subaru but we just could not be happy with the boring gear shifts and overall lack of roar.

This feels like a more refined VW GTI!

This car has been such a hoot to drive! I moved cross country and sold my 2021 VW GTI manual; it was a second car that I didn't want to drag with me. After I moved and got settled in, I decided to look at a Mazda3 hatchback-I loved the styling and saw it also had a manual. I test drove it and fell in love! Great handling, it shifts smooth as butter, and is a very nice design overall. I added the larger spoiler from the Turbo model (it's a dealer accessory) and it looks absolutely sinister haha (black on black). This was to be my weekend fun car to drive in the country; my other vehicle is a Kia Stinger. As fun as the Stinger is, I find myself driving this Mazda everywhere more often. It does seem a little small on passenger room but I'm a single person so that doesn't really concern me.

Very poor paint quality.

With about 3500 miles and 1 year of ownership, my hood started to experience paint peeling from the rear edges of the hood (area closest to wipers). The car is parked in a heated garage year-round. Mazda has denied our warranty claims stating it is not a manufacturing defect, however, with just a little research you will see that Mazda uses a thin layer of water-based paint to cut costs and "reduce emissions". Too bad, since this car is okay otherwise. I just can't recommend it knowing the bare metal will begin rusting come winter.

I have had this vehicle for 1 week and absolutely love it. One might be surprised to find that I switched from a 2019 BMW 330i x-drive (retail $49,000) to this 2021 Mazda 3 Turbo PP with no regrets at all. This car interior is more refined, it's faster, and it rides better due to NO run-flat tires (i.e. BMW). You will NOT miss the 8-speed, since the torque is available at EVERY gear. You will fall in love with 3rd and 4th gears during acceleration runs. And when you want to relax, this car acts like a kitten, smooth as silk. For $34,000 retail it cannot be beat when you consider the entire package. I have driven the car with 87 and 92 octane so far...highly recommend the 92. I am still looking for 93 octane to see what the full 250hp and 320 torque can do, but I would assume it is minimal. And did I mention the AWD and all the safety features...it's a great package. Take it for a test drive, you will not regret it.

This car has more standard features than the other competition in its class like Toyota, Honda, Kia etc..most feature that I love is the extra horsepower even with a natural aspirated engine.
