2012 Mazda Mazda3 consumer reviews

I wasn't looking for a Mazda 3 but when I opened the driver's side door I immediately noticed the sleek black dash and black leather interior. Upon driving it the handling and acceleration felt much smoother than other cars I test drove. Mine also has awesome additions such as sunroof, 10 speaker Bose sound system and navigation. Loving this car so far!

I like the performance gas mileage and no maintenance .Would you recommend this car to a friend yes

This car is just the right size for my son and it has all the room he needs and is EXCELLENT on gas !!!

I bought the sporty hatchback and love it! It has excellent fuel economy and stylish looks. It has the basic bells and whistles without overdoing it. Great safety features in an all around durable car.

I absolutely love my 2012 Mazda3 iTouring Sedan 2.0L SkyActiv. I have owned it for three years and it has one of the best drives in its class and is a pretty solid vehicle. I am only at 47,000 miles and have had absolutely no issues with it whatsoever. I take it to the dealer for maintenance twice a year and so far its only needed just the basic maintenance. One of my favorite things about the Mazda3 is its overall drive. Incredible. I live in California and have the joy to take it on canyon roads and it handles them quite well making it an absolute blast. I do have the smaller 2.0L SkyActiv which makes 155-horsepower that uses a 6-Speed Auto that has nice and smooth shifts. The more powerful engine makes around 20 more horsepower, but I would rather take the benefits of slightly better gas mileage because I tend to drive freeways. I also love the exhaust note when open throttle. I test drove all the sedans in its class (Chevy Cruze, Ford Focus, Dodge Dart, Honda Civic, Volkswagen Jetta, Volkswagen Golf) and I think the Mazda3 has the best drive. The Focus had a close second for best drive, which can be attributed to the Mazda 3 being loosely related to the Focus. The interior isn't too bad for the year. The dash has a nice simple look to it with it not being too cluttered. I also like how the gas mileage is in a little screen up on the dash. I have the iTouring which is pretty basic (auto windows, manual headlights, manual climate control, cloth manual seats). I added an incredibly good audio system from Best Buy which has SiriusXM radio which is always something great to have in a vehicle. If you are considering any other car, I highly recommend you take a look at this car. It is one of the best cars you can own for the money.

cheap, super reliable and fun to drive! It is a bit under power compare with the competitors but it is enough to provide a pleasant driving experience.

Not to be underestimated. Roomy, economical, fun, good looking, dependable. Excellent engine plus moonroof!

Car drivers will love this car. MPG! Shocking storage! Great tunes! Comfy for long trips and short. Extremely reliable. Looks great so new drivers and old will like the look. Excellent for parking where others cant but does not feel small inside.

This car meet all needs, is worth for the gas miles too. Comfortable rite and also big trunk space for groceries shopping.

I have owned my 2012 Mazda 3 for 3 years now and I absolutely love it! It drives great and it gets amazing gas mileage. I drive 45 minutes a day to work and I can go an entire week without having to fill it up due to the Sky active technology it has. I love Mazda and I will continue to be a Mazda owner in future. Thanks for making a great car that I can afford!
