Performance, interior quality, handling, fuel consumption, power accessories are all great BUUUUUUUT that car has less than 3500kms on it and the oil lights on and sure enough it's down that much not what I'd expect for 48000 taxes in???

Great car; happy buyer! There is a lot of great stuff about the car, the enjoyment of driving it, and people's impressions when seeing it. For the money, you can get a sudo entry-level luxury experience even at lower trim levels (preferred and up). I love this car over the older used Acura I/TLX models with similar features I was comparing it to when making my buying decision. A few nits: no rear seat passenger lights (unless both front lights are on), front door handles have an opening instead of a small pocket, the base on the 12 speaker Bose audio system had to be turned down slightly, the trunk light is weak in the dark, and the front seats feel like a midsized sedan most of the time but sometimes feel squished. Honestly, the rear torsion beam doesn't reduce the quality of the ride when compared to the 2020 mazda6, which I believe has an independent or multilink rear suspension. The rear seats can fit two average-sized adults relatively comfortably. I prefer the rotary dial over touch screens, which is easy to get used to. Wired CarPlay works better than Bluetooth especially when the car is shared between multiple people. This car does everything besides gas mileage better than the Toyota Corolla and differentiates itself enough from the Honda Civic to be a competitor. I miss the turbo, but I love hearing the car rev out and sport mode can help you get that extra torque faster for highway merging/passing with little effort. For my needs, this car is fun and perfect. If you know what and why you are buying, you won't feel like you missed out on comparable vehicles. You can still get this car for at or under MSRP (some haggling required), plus rebates. 1-year ownership update: 24000 miles driven. No issues. Piano black wasn’t as bad as I thought. Minimal scratches and dust build up. A bit of wheel hop when making fast turns in the cold but I’m running on all seasons. Considering winter tires.

After much research the best combination of looks, quality, price, pep and gas mileage. My purchase just keeps confirming that. Love it.

I bought a red Mazda3 hatchback over a year ago and it’s been a very good car. Highlights are a fantastic driving experience, premium interior, excellent Bose sound system, likable engine, and beautiful styling. I’ve had minor issues with the electronics, like adaptive cruise control cutting out on the highway and wired CarPlay crashing or not connecting for a few weeks. One major flaw: lane keep assist is awful and overcorrects to a concerning level, and I usually turn it off immediately after startup. The car had an interior rattle that the dealer couldn’t figure out after two tries, so I had to fix it myself. Yes, the back seat is cramped and rear visibility is poor, but those have not been issues for me. Despite all that I have no regrets buying this car as I think it excels in so many areas over other compacts. It’s good in the little things, like having an awesome steering wheel, HUD, and floor-mounted gas pedal. Fuel economy has been 32 mpg in mixed driving, beating its EPA rating, and I have had no mechanical issues with 10,000 miles on the odometer.

Mazda 3 Hatchback Review

2024 Mazda 3 2.5 Turbo Premium Plus 4dr Hatchback AWD (2.5L 4cyl Turbo 6A)

Test drove a Mazda 3 hatchback turbo recently. Wonderful interior. AWD is a great addition. Apart from these, I didn't find anything outstanding about its driveablility. The car felt competent but nothing stood out. This may be because my current car is a Subaru WRX. It turns on a dime. Acceleration is immediate and impressive.
