Fun, underrated little hatch!

Absolutely love this vehicle, I have owned over 7 vehicles and working at a dealer I get to test drive many brands and models. Mazda 3 hatchback I own it’s right there, I honestly have not find anything to complain about, just perhaps not going for the Turbo model (I own the S with Select package).

The vehicle as a whole, decent. The issues I am experiencing are the door seals that run across the top of the front doors started to sag. Brought car to dealership to fix the issue and it was fine for about a year. Seals started sagging again and are now getting hung up on the rear door seals and causing the front doors to stick when opening. The paint is also very thin and is easily subject to chipping from the smallest particle of road debris. I’m rather disappointed that I bought this car. Probably will not be buying another Mazda if these issues continue after warranty runs out.

This car is simply fabulous in the premium plus trim, great power, and great comfort and convenience. Well worth the money....still awesome after 5000 miles.

We had two Maza 6 vehicles, and Mazda 3 was a huge disappointment with no legroom in the front or back. We felt claustrophobic, like being in a time capsule. The seats were also uncomfortable compared to the Mazda 6. Faulty design compared to the Mazda 6. So sorry they discontinued them. We would have continued to buy them if they were available.
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.
