2014 Mazda Mazda3 consumer reviews

Took my 2010 Mazda3 i sedan in for a service today and had my 22 yr old daughter with me. While waiting, we walked around looking at vehicles and both of us stopped dead in our tracks when we saw the 2014 Mazda3 sedan. Unbelievable styling inside and out. Mazda really stepped it up with this year's model. My daughter wanted one on the spot. Given it is so new, couldn't really rate reliability yet but kept the overall high where it deserves to be.

I own the 3 S Grand Touring hatch, which I can recommend without reservation. The strikingly beautiful styling brought me in to the dealership. The quickness and handling I experienced during the test drive made it irresistible. Rated at 27/37 mpg, my 3 actually delivers about 10% better than the sticker estimate. Also better than I anticipated is the excellent fit and finish of the car, inside and out. It was put together with skill and attention to detail. Throw in the surprisingly large number of great, high-end accessories, 184 horses, and top-notch leather,and you have a great ride, not just transportation. Best of all is the handling. I have never before owned a 3, but I know that it has a reputation as being fun to drive. This model year should uphold that reputation, if I am a fair judge. I haven't enjoyed a car this much since I was a teen, quite a few years ago. I find myself driving it just to drive it, especially on curvy roads. The sport-tuned, fairly stiff suspension is a blast to experience. I think you'll love this little gem if you take it on a test drive.

So much fun to drive. Love all the safety features that help to make me feel more secure on the road. The design of my Mazda3 is sleek, modern and sporty perfect for the young and old.

Soul Red hatchback with automatic transmission and the 155 hp engine gives plenty of entertainment for an old guy. Encourages going the long way through the backroads where I live to get groceries. I'd forgotten "fun" being a primary goal in driving when the Miata was sold upon my retirement. Dunno what I was thinking. An Accord with leather interior kinda made me forget what was important. I love this car!

JUST PERFECT! Almost everything! Keyless engine start, day lights stay on with sensor and so many things!
