Beautiful and good as new

This car is reliable and drives very well. It is fully upgraded with lather sets and USB adapters. I highly recommend this car and I am glad I purchased it even for it being 2014 in 2020. You can’t tell the difference.

2014 Mazda 3 Hatchback, not to hateful of a car.

The car has been pretty reliable overall. I would say the inside is made very cheaply, as the armrest latch broke on the second day I bought the car. The engine has had no problems at all and still runs well at 133k miles. The clutch is starting to go out of the car, but that is probably normal with the amount of miles I have. The only other things that have been worked on are wear items. Overall the car does pretty well with fuel economy. 32.8 MPG, is what I have averaged over the years.

Best car I’ve had; tied w/ my previous 3!

Dependable, Economic and sporty! It’s a blast to drive! Also, with hatch and folding seats, very roomy for cargo. Fit and finish is excellent for the value.

Great Quality and Options

Mazda offers far more options for the money than most cars, and the Mazda 3 s Grand Touring is no exception. Even a five year old 2014 model offers more technology than most expensive new cars. I have owned this car for 5 years and have never had a problem. Take car of your car and it will take care of you.

2nd Mazda 3, best car I’ve had!

I had a 2010 Mazda 3; it was perfect! So I bought a 2014 Mazda 3, and it was just as great! Great performance in compact yet roomy and versatile package; and very stylish too!

Mazda 3 S Grand Touring 5 Door Hatch - Zoom-Zoom!

OK, this is a Mazda 3 S Grand Touring, a compact, not a Bently. That being said it has a comfortable, fully adjustable power driver's seat, controls on the tilt, telescope wheel, power windows, climate control, automatic with paddle shifters & a comprehensive array of safety features. The infotainment system works well once you get comfortable with operating it. Excellent back-up camera & cross-traffic & lane change warnings. Plenty of room in the back without folding the seats down. Comfortable, stable ride with good handling. I use it for primarily short, local driving in sport mode (more responsive) and I'm getting 22-26 mpg on regular, would expect substantially better gas mileage on the road. I spent a lot of time researching this car against comparable cars from other manufacturers and found this Mazda superior overall.

Powerful drive with a nice look

This car generates up to 184 hp and 185 ft-lb torque which is powerful enough to drive around the town and highways. While generating a powerful drive, it also gives good MPG (average mpg 31-33 combined).
