A Great Car

The car is stylish and reliable. It has in the back enough room for 2 large dogs! It is convenient to drive and it has large wheels to drive in snow.

2018 Mazda3 exceeds expectations

My 18 year old Protege finally gave up the ghost. Was interested in a used Mazda3, had contacted Carmax about a few 2015 models with 25,000-35,000 miles.. going for around $15,500. But first stopped at a Mazda dealership, and when I learned Mazda was giving back $2,500 on new models, it became a no-brainer to buy new. Very impressed with my n ew 2018 Mazda3. Love the entertainment system, bluetooth connection to my phone, mp3, etc. Plenty of acceleration when needed, very tight feel on the road, seats are a bit narrow if you're not slim, but good for me and my wife. Mileage supposedly between 29mpg and 40mpg.. we'll see.

Great Value in a new Car

This car has the sporting features that I demand in a car, good performance, good handling, solid feel, excellent and responsive motor, and standard transmission. It checks all the boxes at a great price. This is my second Mazda3 and the first was excellent too!

Very reliable and fun to drive.

A joy to own handles nicely has rain sensitivity in the wipers love how the roof open up to let out stale air and fits in the garage nicely.

Fantastic Daily Driver

I purchased my Mazda after my Nissan was totaled. I had originally considered getting another Sentra, but decided to look around first. After I test-drove the Mazda, there was no looking back. Much smoother, much more powerful, and a true joy to drive. I think I'll be getting Mazdas for a long time to come!

So far so good!

It has been 3 months since I got my car, and to date, I have not found any problem and am enjoying driving it. I love all the audio, surrounding signal, and keyless entry systems. Never regret!

Replaced my Mercedes GLA

The horsepower is less than mercedes - yet has a lot more pep. The handling is amazing. And there are so many safety features. I really like that it takes regular gas.

Really cool and fun car to drive!

The Mazda3 is a fun car to drive! Unfortunately, mine had a windshield defect and got water damage during a storm. It's been in the shop only two weeks after driving it off the lot!
