"So far just a great fun car to drive. Get the manual version! We were looking for a 2nd peppy car with decent storage and sitting room. Also needed to have good gas mileage. This fit the bill."

"Quiet, comfortable ride. The original equipment Bridgestone Turanzas are slugs-take your foot off the gas and the car stops dead. The manufacturer's recommendation is to inflate to 36 psi. I have them inflated to 39 psi and it's much better. Thinking about going to 40 psi. However, at 39 psi the handling is great. I've gone about 1400 miles and I'm getting 33 mpg in town and 38 on the highway (EPA rating is 27 and 39). The trunk is much smaller than I anticipated. (My last car was a 2002 Acura RSX and the trunk was huge!). Very narrow back window and it's even further restricted by the 3rd brake light, which is right in the center, at the top. I wish they would go back to a regular key, instead of a "proximity key" that you keep in your pocket. There are about 80 pages of instructions as to how to use the key-which I hope to finally finish reading by the time I sell the car 10 years from now. I also have to go back to the book to figure out all the intricacies of the heating and cooling systems. Fit and finish is very good. Very few squeaks and no rattles. Doors close with a reassuring "thunk." Seems like a well put together vehicle. Overall, I'm pleased, so far."

"I recently bought my 1st Mazda product. Mazda3 S Touring Hatchabck. This car is way better than i had ever thought it would or could be. Handles tight and gas mileage is around 28/29 combined City/Tollway. Since it was a 2012 that they REALLY wanted to get rid of i got an awesome deal on it and will definitely go back for my next vehicle. I always thought the zoom-zoom motto i seen on t.v. was kind of goofy but it really seems to fit this car. I have the 2.5 engine and it seems to have more than enough pick-up. I would definitely recommend this vehcile to anyone looking for a compact car with good gas mileage, good pick up and great looks. P.S. I have 2 boys, 14 & 10, i can fit them and their sports equipment in this vehicle no problem."

"I have bought 3 Mazda s in the past 2 years. Tight well built vehicle. smooth ride excellent handling and can get all my drums in the 2011, 2012 CX7 that I had and now the 2013 Mazda 3 hatchback. (Needed better gas mileage). Got it! 6speed Skyactive Manual. Key-less entry is nice. Just walk up to vehicle, push button and your in. Auto climate control keeps temperature nice and even. Sexy expensive looking body stile is always a Mazda trait. When you close the doors its a sound of quality craftsmanship, Thank you Hertrich of Dove DE. for a friendly family feeling without any pressure. The sales staff, service and management are top notch"

"The Mazda3 is a neat car to own. The term "zoom zoom" truly fits this car. I can't get over how fast it takes a hill. I had no difficulty driving the car in the snow. It handled beautifully."

"Recently went to Schwartz Mazda in Shrewsbury and bought the 2012 CX-9 from Mike P. What a great experience. I bought my first car from Schwartz years ago when they were in Red Bank and they are still great. I hadn't purchased a new car in over 10 years and was dreading the entire experience. I hate the whole negotiating aspect and the fact that you have to go back and forth so many times. This was not the case at Schwartz. Mike was professional and honest from the beginning. He wasn't overbearing or pushy at all. We knew which model we wanted to it was just a matter of test driving and agreeing on a price. They didn't have the exact car with the options we wanted, but they located one and had it for us 2 days later! I definitely recommend Schwartz. Honest, professional, dependable for years...and the 0% financing that Mazda was offering was a huge plus too."

"I traded a 2005 Hatchback for a 2012. I am very pleased with the performance. The 2005 seemed to have more low-end torque but it is adequate in this car. The 6-speed automatic is smooth. Am averaging 30 mpg in city/highway driving."
