Good car overall

Gaucho 87, 01/27/2024
2023 Mazda 3 Preferred 4dr Sedan (2.5L 4cyl 6A)
I’ve had my 2023 Mazda 3 Preferred edition sedan for a year now, and overall,, it’s a good car with some caveats. The pros are that it is very reliable, fuel efficient, and stylish inside and out. It rides and handles well, particularly at higher speeds and on curvy roads, and there is a general feeling of sportiness and quality in both the ride and build of the car. It also feels solid … and safe (and has received top safety pick ratings from NHTSA and the IiHS). The trunk, though small for its class, has not disappointed. It’s been suitable for my needs. The radio is also very good, and the volume/mute/power knob on the center console is placed in the perfect position, right within reach. The power driver’s seat is great, particularly the lumbar support. You feel supported and bolstered but not too much so. Finally, the rotary dial interface, while at first a bit cumbersome, has gotten much easier to use over time, and it really reduces distractions. Now on to the downsides. The car is definitely tight in terms of space. Head and leg room up front and in back are tight, and the storage space inside the cabin (not counting the trunk) is limited. The automatic electronic safety features are nice to have, but they can be overly aggressive and loud. Fortunately, some of them can be adjusted or turned off if you desire. While I like the rotary interface overall, it does seem limited compared to a touch screen, and it’s still slower to perform basic functions like changing a radio station. The front of the car is very low, so it’s very easy to scrape it against a curb in a parking spot. There is also a slight blind spot out of the rear due to the curved design, but this is pretty minor. Finally, the engine sometimes jumps a bit when going from stop to start. This isn’t dangerous, but just annoying. Overall, the Mazda is sporty and pretty fun to drive (and very good on the highway and at higher speeds), though comfort and convenience definitely take a back seat here, so if those are priorities for you, it might not be the best choice.
