2014 Mazda 3
Was looking for Honda Civic or Toyota Corolla. Drove both and then the Mazda. Mazda was by far the most fun and comfortable driving vehicle of the three.

Nice looking car and fun to drive.
Just bought this 2014 with 45 miles on it. It is now 2017. I traded a 2006 g35 and so far I like the Mazda3. It accelerates great,handles well,and looks nice too. Time will tell how all this plays out. It is Mazda certified and I took out the Wrap Warranty just in case! Be sure to negotiate when buying extended warranty!!!!!!!!

Love This Car
Mazda says Driving Matters and in the case of their vehicles I believe them. The Mazda3 is a joy to drive and for me is just plain fun. I have driven other cars, including different rental brands, and their is nothing more enjoyable than my Mazda3. I have to top model with a 2.5, 185 hp high compression engine (13 to 1 compression ratio) that provides a lot of torque. It rides well for a small car and handles amazingly well. Mazda puts a lot of pride into the manufacture of their cars and are constantly striving to improve them. They have made impressive advancements since separating from their relationship with Ford. I am on my second Mazda3 and bought the first after my nephew, who is a mechanical engineer and car buff spoke highly of it. I could afford a more expensive luxury vehicle but for me I have found happiness with my Mazda.

Great car I have bought so far
I traded my Mazda 3 -2010 for a - 2014. I love the way it drives, very smooth and comfortable. It is great on the gas mostly. I had to pay a little bit more for it but I do not regret it at all. I Love it.

A great buy!
I've had a mazda before and I absolutely loved how reliable it was. Same thing applies to the new one I got. Runs smoothly (even in the winter), looks amazing and my favourite....extremely fuel efficient, for me anyway. Entertainment system is a bit odd looking, though on the other mazda3 model, it looks nicer

Infotainment System is poorly made. Rough running
The is stylish and drives great. It runs rough with idling. The Madza Inforainment system is buggy. I would not have purchased the car if I had known it would have persistent problems. Mazda does not stand good for the buggy system that needs updated by the dealership at $60 a pop everytime it has a problem. I would not purchase a Mazda again.

IMHO...The BEST performance car in it's Class
I made an absolute no-no purchase when I purchased my 2014 Mazda 3 S Touring....first year issue purchase. But I have not been disappointed at all! I have owned numerous BMWs, a MB C63 and a Corvette C6, and yet I LOVE my 2014 Mazda 3 S Touring. Reasons: This car thinks it's rear wheel drive :) And the extremely long list of features (Bose, dual climate control, 185 hp, 184 ft. lbs. of torque at an astounding low rpm of 3250 rpm) etc), make this car an absolute blast to drive. You can literally throw this car around, like a spirited RWD car, and it never disappoints you. I could blather on for paragraphs about the immense number of features included for a care of this class....but all I can say is...check it out for yourself.

Love the safety features!
I bought a new 2014 Mazda3 i 5-door grand touring for the safety features. I considered other makes, but this was the only make and model in its class that had everything I wanted: rear view camera, blind spot monitoring, rear parking sensors and turn signal indicators on the side mirrors. It also has a lot of extras that I didn't want or need, but surprisingly, I've used the navigation system and didn't expect to do so as I live on an island. Bluetooth is built in and easy to use. The infotainment system is not intuitively obvious, and it is not possible to turn off the music, only mute it.
