Three years later, I’m still in Love
The day in December 2016 that I noticed this car at the AutoPark was the luckiest day of my life! I went there intending to do a few test drives and choose between a Honda and a Toyota, like I’d done three times previously in my life. You can’t go wrong with a popular brand, well-known for reliability, right? Actually... in my experience yes, you can! Buying the 2017 Mazda3 made me realize that if I’m handing over $20,000+, I should go home super stoked. And I never felt that way before. Naturally the first thing I noticed about the car was the exterior. Beautiful! So I decided to sit in it, just for fun. And wow! It was like the car was made for me.. like literally fashioned around my bod. The test drive? One word, FUN. Who knew driving a car in DC traffic could be fun? Not me. I chose the Touring model primarily for the Bose sound system, which is perfection. The interior controls are simple and intuitive, the materials are classy, and it handles like a dream. Never be afraid you can’t make a U Turn in one try again! Also, just as a general observation, backup cameras and blind spot monitoring are the best things ever. In sum, I love this car so much I hope to have it til the day I kick the bucket.

Maybe a good car, but hosed by the dealer
The dealership (Edd Kirby's Adventure Cars in Chattanooga) sold us this car with a messed up suspension. Aside from that, it's very very small. Decent interior. Great gas mileage

Beautiful & Reliable
I have nothing bad to say about this car. Stunning and reliable. In a perfect world it would have a 6 cylinder engine and RWD.

My 16yr old daughter is in heaven!
My daughter had certain options she wanted on a car. We were sure we would be able to afford a car with them all, but this definitely does!

Worry-Free
My 2017 Mazda3 5 door (hatchback) with 2.5L engine has style, comfort with front seat has legroom for someone 6’3”; best of all is that maintenance is easy; interior is exceptionally better than other 2017 makes in same category that I test drove...plus the 2019 model is even nicer
