My first Mazda that I purchased

Bought new 2018 Mazda 3 touring, wanted the 2.5 liter engine with 184 horses, got the 6 speed manual transmission. This is a very nice car it has the leatherette interior, nothing cheap about he interior. This car is really loaded, blind spot warning, cross traffic alert, rain sensing wipers, Hd, XM radio, love the sun roof. This is a very good quality car everything works,noting rattles, have no complaints. This car does have a lot of power, but very careful still in break in period, driving very easy during this period only 400 miles. Do like the snow flake white pear paint job, with the black interior, very nice. Has 18 inch wheels polished alloy wheels. Did a lot of research before considering buying a Mazda, best decision I made. Very fun car to drive.

Mazda really does have the Zoom Zoom!

I tried out (5) other small sedan cars and the Mazda 3 was by far the BEST in "giddy up" horsepower acceleration (the Zoom Zoom is real!). The car fits my size perfectly and looks sporty/stylish too! I really liked how you can control the touch screen with the spin knob that can act as a joystick as well. I am very happy with the Mazda 3!!

Bought one New

I received a Mazda 3 a couple of times when I rented cars for business trips. I was surprised with how well the car handled and how nice it looked. So when it came time to look for a new car, I started with the Mazda 3. The vehicle doesn't have a lot of fancy buzzes and whistles, but it is a very reliable, very smart looking car that handles beautifully. The price was wonderful - especially compared to other new cars in its class. I would purchase this again in a heartbeat.

Just WOW.

Not enough words. Test drive one and see! I had forgotten how much fun driving was! Car purrs like a kitten. The exterior is beautiful as is the interior.

My Mazda and Me!

This is my fourth Mazda and my second Mazda3. I previously bought a 2009 Mazda3 back in 2009 and drive it into the ground. I then went and purchased a brand new 2018 Mazda3 and you CANNOT get a better car, with as many bells and whistles for the money spent. I LOVE this car and have absolutely zero complaints!!!

Great Car

This car is excellent. From the display and sound quality to the comfort of the interior (front and back seats), I'm thoroughly pleased! I love having the automatic intermittent wipers, push button start and being able to unlock/lock the doors or trunk by being close to the car with my keys in my pocket.

Pretty great color and performance

Meet pretty much all expectations- very comfortable to drive- pretty good room even though it looks a bit small - I'm tall and yet am enjoying it
