Do not recommend a Mazda 3

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.

Downsizing from a premium sport sedan. Love the looks, handling and price. Not the fastest but handling and build quality along with a nice interior sold me.

Great Looking Car, But Long-Term Reliability Disap

2022 Mazda 3 Premium 4dr Hatchback (2.5L 4cyl 6M)

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.

I have loved my 2016 Mazda 6 manual. When it reached 200,000 carefree miles I decided to trade. I am a 3 pedal girl and happy that Mazda still offers a 6 speed manual albeit a slim offering. I thought hard about a Miata but hubby convinced me it would not be practical. Mazda of Roswell had a red Mazda 3 hatchback manual in stock. I fell in love the first drive. After some haggling and 0 percent financing, the "great red shark" came home. The car is drop dead gorgeous, and a blast to drive. The engine is snappy and the transmission a dream. There are many "gadgets" I am not big on gadgets, but this was the only trim. I look at it as "things to break. Time will tell. Unbelievably, I am getting around 38 mpg on my stop and go 30 mile commute. Wow! There is definitely not as much space as the 6 but means less crap to put in the trunk. I have not had anyone in the back, but on a fairly long trip, my husband was comfortable. The only cons I see is the glove box is microscopic and the center console is a giant hole with no organization. The rear suspension is fine despite what folks say. I am very happy.

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
