I have an 06 and 21 Mazda 3 and they are awesome. The 2021 has an outstanding luxury feel and comfort for an outstanding price. If I get rid of my Mazdas, the brand has won me over and I would be running back like never before. Mazda cares about your vehicle and builds a great and reliable vehicle for your finances now and years down the road! THIS CAR WONT DISAPOINT!!!

An honest review of the AWD Mazda 3 Turbo

So I really wanted to love this car, I mean I did buy it. Problem is... I really don't. I have three Mazda 3's The 2021 AWD turbo and two 2010 Mazda 3 GT that I bought for my kids. One I handed down and drove for years. I really liked it. Thus the 2021 purchase. The car is nice inside. It's minimal, but tastefully done with a nice feel and finish. that's where it ends for me. I find the motor laggy. I hit it and wait. Wait for it... no seriously it's fast, trust me, here it comes... yawn* anytime now. When it goes, it goes. but I'm not blown away. I had a 2010 cobalt SS and it was way faster. Handling. Dry conditions. It does NOT feel like the handling matches the engine, even with the lag. The breaks do not feel like they will stop you. The suspension feels... light? fluffy almost.dont get me wrong, I'm not saying a "smooth" ride. It's not "tight" and "sharp". Snow... i'm from Ontario. I dont have experience with AWD. but this thing is scary in snow. I drove a mustang GT back ion the 90s in the snow. If I am saying its scary... it's scary! It feels the same as the Mustang. It responds just like a rear wheel Mustang. I can fish tail around corners if I give it a little throttle. Where is the front wheel pull? Why is the back end breaking free? Does this thing not have traction control? I dont get it. Im actually thinking of taking it back and getting an SUV

A nightmare to drive. All sorts of distractions. Cruise control a nightmare. Inadequate air conditioning and heater. Poor visibility. Poor defroster function. Unintuitive electronics. I rate this car an F for failure

Looks nice, but looks can be deceiving.

Purchased a 2021 used for my mom thinking that it would be a comfortable and reliable vehicle for her. After a year, I've come to realize that this cast is not all that great. Pros: - Memory drivers seat. - Decent mpg (great highway mpg). - Heated seats. Cons: - I should've realized that 18" rims don't really provide much ride comfort for a senior. - The smart key for this (and new mazdas) has a unique design (which I DO NOT like). The smart lock function also sucks - it only locks 50% of the time and never locks if any of the passenger doors are the last to close. - Battery on this thing sucks. - Car is supposed to have heated mirrors, but I've never seen anything melt on the mirrors (this could be more of a used car/dealer issue). - Miles to empty gauge sucks and only seems to provide estimated miles on tens. - Steering wheel is oddly thin (had to purchase a cover to add some thickness).
