Worth way more than we paid

2023 Mazda 3 Select 4dr Sedan (2.5L 4cyl 6A)
3 of 4 people found this review helpful

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

Rocking my new 3 S Hatchback with Select pkg

The interior looks and feels premium in every aspect. The ride on smooth roads is perfect. With the platinum quartz paint and piano black trim this car definitely stands out from the crowd. In 700 miles of mostly highway driving it averaged 38mpg. Love it!

Mazda 3 Hatchback Review

2024 Mazda 3 2.5 Turbo Premium Plus 4dr Hatchback AWD (2.5L 4cyl Turbo 6A)
10 of 19 people found this review helpful

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. Torsion beam rear suspension might have somethng to do with this. I'm also comparing it to my Subaru WRX. It turns on a dime. Acceleration is immediate and impressive. Not fair to the Mazda 3. Apples to oranges.

I could not be more pleased with my Mazda 3. The quality is as good as any “premier” marque, the style and design are without peer, and this car has a quick and solid attitude. The Mazda 3 reminds me of another “3” series from about 20 years ago-before they lost their way. I recommend this vehicle to all my “car” friends. The best value in the sedan market today!

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).
