Most comfortable and perfectly sporty car ever

This car is great I have previously leased a Mazda6 and loved that as well, Mazda never ceases to impress with its luxury feel but affordable price, plus the manual option I chose is so fun to zip around town with

Mazda 3 test drive

The Mazda 3 is a nice car, it drives well, just not as smooth of a ride as the Mazda 6, and for the price difference I decided to buy the Mazda 6. Overall the car is very nice it just came down to personal preference for me.

Awesome Car

I love everything about this car. The way it handles when I drive it. I feel much safer with the cameras and warning systems. I love the way it looks. The bose speakers are excellent. I'm so glad to have purchased this car.

Classiest, "smartest", sportiest car I've owned

The Mazda 3 Hatchback I recently purchased far exceeded any prior expectations I held. The exterior color is a rich blue, & the leather interior is 2-tone, which I have not seen before, with ivory bucket seats & ivory trim that sets off the rest of the black interior. This car has so many amazing features, many of which I never imagined even existed as options. The seats are very comfortable, including the back seats, which I did not expect to find in a smaller car. The car drives smoothly, & accelerates quickly. It even has a "Sport" control, which affords an extra sporty drive when activated. I was also impressed, as recently as today, that it held the road extremely well when I was compelled to drive during high, gusty wind conditions, an important safety consideration. I have only owned this Mazda 3 Hatchback for a couple of weeks, but am thus far incredibly satisfied with both it's style & performance.

Sleek, simple and Sporty

My ne Mazda 3 Sport has sleek looks, simple to operate and very sporty. The features are comparable to a more higher end car, yet these features make this car a pleasure to drive.
