Looks great, great handling.

I am enjoying this car; after driving an SUV for 8 years, it's a welcome change. It has a lot of pick up, and runs so smoothly. There is some road noise on rough roads, but it's bearable. No complaints about this great looking, gas efficient car.

Best Car Owned

Well Ive owned a few cars before me and driven many and this has to be one of my favorite cars! Im from Europe and I can tell you this car can perform very well. I work as a mechanic and I can tell you that this car rarely needs service after even driving it roughly. Im at 52000 miles and the only thing Ive needed to replace were the front brakes and tires. I also have tracked the car and modded the car and it still has what it has lived for ZOOM ZOOM! Its very mod friendly and can be a great car for mileage. Now am a Mazda fan for life!

Mazda3

I love my car! Mine is a 2010 pearl white Mazda 3. The only thing I dislike is it didn't come with power locks. Mazda needs to get with the 21st century. My brother has a car over ten years older than mine with power locks. That is definitely a draw back to the car but everything else is great. It's fast and gas friendly and the car is beautiful.

Mazda owner for life

My first car was a Mazda protege and I ran that car almost 400,000 miles before getting a new car my second car was a ford focus and I hated it. After my deployment I decided to get A brand new car and decided to get another Mazda. I've only have my car for just over two years but I love it and it suns great. I have the Bose package and it sounds amazing. Bluetooth makes listening to whatever I want easier. I got the upgrade package on almost everything and it makes the car much more enjoyable. Thank you mazda for the great Car

Sporty ride/very comfortable!!

My fuel economy is 17mpg, I will have to take it in but most people report 25-30 combined. This is a great fun ride with a sporty pickup!

Good commuter car

I got the 167-hp, 2.5-liter I-4 (regular gas), 6 speed manual, Mazda 3 s and it is pretty good so far @ 21K miles. The Good: Good acceleration, handling, breaking. Bluetooth was very easy to setup. Very responsive on the road at slow and fast speeds. Great fuel economy and statistics with the onboard computer. The Bad: No leg room in the back for anyone larger than a midget. This car will not watch your lights if you leave them on by accident. In this day and age of cars that automatically shut off lights for you if you leave them on with the engine off, this car, oddly does not have that feature. If you forget to turn your lights off you will come back to a dead car the next day. Other thoughts: This is a commuter car for sure. Over glorified maybe, but a commuter car nonetheless. Yes it can take off quickly, but I wouldn't race it all the time. It will do 80mph @ 3250 rpm's in 6th gear.

Best Value for Money

I purchased this car mostly for one interesting fact: it was the #1 car driven by the staff writers for automotive magazines - basically, it has the best combination of fun-to-drive and least cost. Good Value for Money. I have owned this car for 2 years, and it has been fantastic. Mazda has upped their quality to try to grab market share, and the Mazda3 is their best-selling vehicle. I looked around at a lot of cars before I bought my 2010 Mazda3 brand new, and I couldn't be happier with my choice.
