Great value and nice all around

This hatchback is very stylish compared to other cars in its class. The gas mileage is great and still provides decent power. The handling is very good and it has been a pleasant car to drive. The bucket seats are very comfortable and the infotainment system is very user friendly.

Good hatchback.

This car got me to and from school through busy traffic no problem. It also has gone across the country with me and held up well.

Most Stylish and Efficient Car I owened

The design of the car won my heart. Power and Torque is highest in class, Very comfortable, premium feel at much less price. Amazing Handling, Central dial works very well, good to have very few buttons on central console to deal with.

Best performing compact sedan

I love this car. I compared and test drove every car before buying the Mazda3 and it is by far the best. Most cheaper cars are built cheaply and are under powered which made this car truly special. The interior and extorior are beautiful and modern by incorperating technology while keeping the driver engaged in the driving experience. Additionally, the car performs like no other within it's class. It feels the most powerful and handles wonderfully. I've owned the car for two years and I have not done any wokr on it other than oil changes. It starts every time even after sitting for a few weeks and is really an amazing car. Mazda designs their cars around drivers rather than people who drive. They target people who enjoy the experience of driving and like feeling connected to the road. Therefore, the steering wheel is extremely responsive and the suspension is less plush than other cars. The car is available in automatic or manual and with a 2.0 liter or 2.5 liter engine. I highly recommend this car, it is beautiful, it has character, and it is fun to drive, it is reliable.

Great car!

I have not had it for long but I love this car. I have ever only owned SUVs and I got tired of them. I wanted something more stylish and fun but also practical with gas mileage and not breaking the bank. The Mazda 3 S Grand Touring fits this desire perfect. It is everything I wanted and I am so happy driving it. I've never fallen in love with a car before but I did with this one.

Very good for commutes

Great smaller car! It is extremely fun to drive (sporty handling) and it looks great! The interior is quite comfortable, but the trunk is a bit small. Overall, the handling, braking, sporty-look, and gas-saving qualities are what really makes this car great

Dream car

I wanted to own a Mazda3 for almost 7 years. I've now owned mine for 2 years and it has been amazing! It's fairly compact so I can maneuver through smaller areas, but it still does great in the mountains. The interior is clean & comfortable. I got the convenience package, which I would recommend. I also have a manual transmission which is great when you want a bit more control to accelerate on to highways since it is a smaller engine. Only interior "complaint" is the location of the touch screen. Very reliable car and it gets good gas mileage, especially on the highway!

An amazing simple car.

The inrerior is nothing special but everything else about the car is fantastic. I have NEVER had ant issued with this car. It gets almost unbeatable gas mileage without being a hybrid and has a decent acceleration. I feel like the styling of the exterior is great and will keep it from looking outdated for many years. My only complaint would be the lack of power going of steep hills. Love this car, I may never get rid of it.
