TOO many problems

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

Great Looking Car, But Long-Term Reliability Disap

I’ve owned my Mazda 3 for a few years now, and while I can’t deny that it looks sharp and drives beautifully, the maintenance required after just 2–3 years has been incredibly frustrating. One of the biggest recurring problems has been the air conditioning system. It’s completely failed on me twice already, which is ridiculous for a relatively new car. I’ve had to bring it in multiple times for repairs—not just for the A/C, but other issues as well—and it’s starting to feel like more hassle than it’s worth. I really wanted to love this car long-term, but the reliability just isn’t there. If you’re planning to keep it beyond the initial warranty period, be prepared for potentially expensive and repeat repairs. With this experience, I would not get another Mazda.
