Fun car to drive and great gas mileage of 40 MPG
Great design inside & out! Fun to drive and great gas mileage of 40 MPG! Love the blind spot monitoring system in side mirrors because it gives me piece of mind about cars next to me in my blind spot. Same system is connected to rear camera to show me any cars moving behind me in a parking lot from either side to help me avoid possible collisions when backing up. I hate to drive my wife's 2013 Ford Escape now because I'm spoiled with my Mazda3's safety features I just mentioned above. I commute 45 miles a day all on highway, so I love seeing the fuel economy feature showing me that I'm getting anywhere from 39 - 43 mpg consistently with the 2.0 motor. I have plenty of power to pass even with A/C on in the summer. Love this car!

Sporty car with lots of bells and whistles
I test drove a ton of cars including, BMW 228i X and 328I X, Mercedes Benz C250 and C300, Audi 3 and 4 and I decided on the Mazda because it had just about everything I wanted for a lot less money than the others. It has great gas mileage and is much more reliable than the other cars I test drove. An additional perk is it takes regular gas. Save money! The car is really sporty, had almost all of the bells and whistles I wanted (would have liked memory seats and AWD). You can't go wrong with a Mazda.

Best Vehicle All Around!
Bucket seats are rather comfortable, we've taken this car from SE Texas to SE Oregon twice now as well as from SE Texas to Virginia. Gas Saver! Perfect for any long distance commuter! I originally bought this vehicle for an hour work commute and it fit the bill perfectly. Lots of USB ports, never looking for a place to charge your phone. The Bose Surround Sound System make a jam session a must in this car! As good as after market systems on similar vehicles. Absolutely love my moonroof. I always slide the shield back just so I can feel the sun through the glass.

Most Fun Car I've Ever Owned
Ok, the downside first, because there is only 1: legroom in the back is pretty minimal. The upsides: this car is great to drive. It's quick, responsive, gets good mileage, is actually great in snow (with good snow tires of course), looks like a much more expensive car, performs great, and more. I don't know what else I can say about it, other than get one.

This car is great. It meets my needs. I thought I needed something bigger but I am so very happy with the car I have. It is small to fit in small parking places and has such great gas mileage.

Price point good value
I've got 28k on the 6 speed manual. The car was so noisy that Firestone put non LRR tires on through Masda USA. The knobs for the "touch screen" has a pretty steep learning curve. No 8-track of C/D player options. Good mileage. Handles great when pushed. Definitely needs dedicated snow tires if you drive in that sort of climate but most cars do. No service or use of warranty with the exception of wiper blades. Its basic transportation. They have made progress on the noise with the 17' & 18' models.
