Most economic car i owned

This car is really good to own. Rust can get to it easily because of the snow but when it comes on the gas consumption, handling, reliability i recommend it. It's basic so not lot of gadgets and complications.

Love it

It might be an old car, but I love it! I was never into Hatchbacks, I thought they were beyond ugly until I saw this one. It's curvy in the right places, it fits A LOT of things in it. I'm 163,000 miles in on this car driving all over the west coast and she still drives amazing. The only downside I would say is that everyone Ive met that's owned a Mazda3 seems to have trouble with smog tests. I'm in that current situation but she'll be up and running soon.

The best car I've ever driven

It's everything I've ever wanted in a car amd a little bit more. Although a little more speed would not hurt.

My Silver Fox

This car is the most reliable car I've ever owned. With regular oil changes, it's great on gas, low maintenance, and repairs if needed are very inexpensive. This car doesn't give me a bit of trouble, has a fun zippy ride, with decent handling, that lives up to the "Zoom Zoom" slogan. Whether you're 5'3 like me, or over 6 foot tall you can comfortably drive, and hang out in the backseat with ease. I highly recommend this car to everyone!

Very reliable car and value for the money

I love my car I've had for almost 2 years and in those 2 years I've replaced minor things like brakes and tires and two motor mounts for this car, I am very happy and satisfied with my purchase it definitely has a lot of features that I can use. And now I have to replace a mass air sensor and I had to replace the ac but all of this was covered under warranty so I really only spent like 500 on tires and brakes and oil changes.

Most amazing vehicle to own

Absolutely love this car! Runs great, compared to the Suzuki Aerio I had which rattled the whole time I owned it even after a tune up. Mazda 3 is definitely an upgrade.

Worth Every Penny

This car is well built and very reliable, I've had very few problems with it during the past year of owning it. The seats are very comfortable and there's plenty of room in the front and back. The cabin is a bit noisy at higher speeds but it's a smooth ride overall.

Sporty and Comfortable

This has been an excellent car overall with only minor reliability issues. Fantastic handling compared to other sedans in its price range. I would keep it but the car seats don't easily fit in the back and I'm just getting to that point in my life! Perhaps I will migrate back in the future.
