Every time I get behind the wheel of our Mazda 3 sedan select 2.5 I feel great about our buying decision. I love the way it looks,,, it looks not at all like a relatively inexpensive small car. The front seats are the most comfortable of any car I have owned and I bought my first car in 1965. The car has enough power to feel confident on Bay Area freeways and averages about 40mpg highway. The interior is widely praised for being above its price class and I couldn’t agree more. The safety tech is superb,,,, the trunk is fine and I don’t spend anytime in the back seat. All things considered I got more than I paid for

Unlike some reviews from Subaru owners that don’t actually own the car, the Mazda3 turbo is amazing bang for the buck. The stock tires may not be the best, but do your homework and you will see that this car is great. Compare to the WRX and you will see that this is hands down better. Once I got excellent tires installed, I realized what an amazing platform this car is. Money well spent. I get 32 highway with tame driving and with 93 octane you will be impressed by the power and torque. Enjoy!

2024 Mazda 3 2.5 S Preferred 4dr Sedan (2.5L 4cyl 6A)

I love the car but would change a couple things: more trunk space, more back seat leg space, move the cup holders closer to the driver/center console bc I can’t fit larger cups without them hitting the buttons above, and availability to open the gas tank cover from inside of car. I also turned off most of my safety features like lane assist, braking assist, automatic windshield wipers, etc. They were too much and sometimes went off when not necessary or needed. Other than that, it’s a nice car, looks sharp and I’m happy with the price.

2022 Mazda 3 Select 4dr Sedan (2.5L 4cyl 6A)

I purchased new in 2022 and have owned for 3 years and 20,000 miles. Went with the naturally aspirated vs. turbocharged motor desiring long term reliability mated with the six-speed automatic transmission. Maintenance has been inexpensive, and it is a joy to drive. The stock Toyo tires provide a cushier ride and improved fuel economy, but they are also puncture prone. I switched the tires out with some Firestone Firehawk AS V2, the fuel economy went down but remains as advertised vs. slightly better with the Toyo. The performance and handling are much improved, on par with certain European luxury sedans as to the overall experience. I love the Mazda Connect Services App where I can remotely crank the car, send the destination to the Mazda Navigation system. In combination with the built-in Pandora services, I have no interest in using the Android or Apple Car Play. Mazda Navigation maps are easier to read albeit not as feature rich as Google Maps. The seats are very comfortable, the sound system is a cut above and like that I can set it up to cater to the driver's perspective. The trunk will hold two sets of golf clubs. I put a small hitch on the back to haul a bike. Added some all-weather mats, door visors, a few other items to make it my own. I'm 5'10" and have no trouble riding with sufficient space in the back seat. So long as the driver isn't 6' 2". If you're thinking about getting one and interested in longevity, suggest going with 5000-mile oil changes, running top-tier gas. Running a fuel system cleaner through ahead of each oil change and flushing the brake fluid every 3 years. Perhaps, even a periodic injector cleaning. These motors are solid but they're carbon build up prone due to the high compression. Steps suggested are to help keep the carbon build up down and help avoid more expensive repairs down the road. Being able to change the speedometer display is also very nice, it's not difficult to find a perfect driving position. I enjoy the driving dynamics as much as the 2013 Subaru BRZ, which had the lowest center of gravity as any production car in history, only this Mazda 3 has more torque. If you are single, it's perfect, if you have a small family with younger children it'll work. Some might prefer more space in the back seats, but to me there's plenty of room. It's amazing what I've been able to haul and pick up, no need for an SUV. Only negative I can think of, it's true, the paint will chip if you just look at it, so keep it waxed and clear the bird poo asap. My greatest concern is finding a comparable replacement down the road. Overall, I just love it, like getting a little luxury feel, reliability and Zoom! Zoom!, at a great bang for the buck price!
