Love the curves. Beautiful hatchback

I am another driver who fell in love with the looks (except for the front bumper design), the performance and the seat design with extremely soft fabric! When I test drove it, it felt so light and smooth. I also felt like I was being hugged by the seat. Hatchbacks usually look boring but this 2013 model is the exception. Gives me a gooood gas mileage as well.

Sporty & Great Mileage

I own a Mazda3 hatchback and I love it. It's a sporty looking car with incredibly comfortable seats, and on flat highways I've gotten up to 42 mpg.

This is our 3rd Mazda 3 in the family.

We now have 3 Mazda 3's in the family. A 2007, 2012, and now the 2013. We chose the Mazda 3's because of the low cost maintenance and reliability and dependability.

My first car and its been a dream.

I bought this car with the hopes the it would a great daily driver but also provide a little sporty fun when I put my foot down....and I have to say Mazda delivered! It totally lives up to the zoom-zoom slogan that Mazda declares on top of being reliable and sturdy. Like any car regular maintenance has kept it running smoothly and I'm looking forward to at least another two years of riding it before I switch to a new vehicle.

This car is economical! Best gas saver .

This car is great on gas and is looks fabulous. Doesn't take much to fill her up and starts every time. The safety features are awesome especially driving at night.

Reliable, nimble, and efficient

Runs clean, the maintenance is minimal and inexpensive. The vehicle itself looks very sharp and it hasn't given me any trouble after 70k miles. Great economical vehicle that doesn't skimp on performance.

Peppy, reliable value

Compared to similar cars in its class, the Mazda has excellent pickup from a stop. Nothing luxurious about the interior, but the seats are surprisingly comfortable on a long trip. Reliability had been very good. Overall a very good value for the money.

2013 Mazda 3

What a fun car. Drove it for 3 years with no problems. Didn't know what to expect from Mazda. Not as peppy as I would have hoped but held the road really well it put a grin on my face. The same look as the smiley front end. It has its share of bells and whistles with the top model, navigation, comfortable sport seats and decent interior.

LOVE LOVE LOVE

I was in love the moment i seen the 2013 mazda3. I traded in a 2002 mazda protege for it and instantly fell in love. Its comfortable, stylish, looks sporty without being a gas hog. Was very reliable and SAFE! Got into a wreck which totaled it sadly.. but me and my husband have only very minor injures.
