A Great Ride

This car is comfortable and fun to drive. It has great acceleration for a 4 cylinder engine. The suspension is very responsive and the wheels hug the road. It has all the modern conveniences with bluetooth, multiple USB ports, as well as the back-up screen, and blind spot monitoring. A great value!

Stylish with great gas mileage

This was one of the cheapest cars we could find but when that being said, it has everything we could ask for. Very comfortable, rides great and I average 30mpg on a day to day basis. It is a little small and at 6ft with kids in the back it can be a little cramped.

Short driver friendly

I am a 4"9' female. I purchased the Mazda3 Hatchback because it fit my size and budget. After 3 months of research including test drives of the Honda HRV and Subaru Impreza. I was impressed with all of the bells and whistles included in the Mazda3 Touring with 2.5 liter engine. A person of my height will appreciate the blind-side sensors, the power driver seat, and the capability to have an all-around view without feeling the need to stretch out of the driver seat.

Fast, Agile, Fun, Safe, Amazing Vale for Money

If you're a driver, IE someone who enjoys driving, Mazda's are always the cars to go with, because at their price, they are always the best drivers cars. Plus, Japanese reliability. It's a quick, fun, agile, car to drive that won multiple safety awards and is one of the best Value for Money you'll get on any car. and if you get the Touring or Grand touring models, you're in for all of the basic luxury features you can expect in this category, and some features that don't come as standard (and are expensive add on's) in basic European luxury cars that start at twice the price! You got reliability, safety, performance, quality, luxury (compared to it's price), and the most enjoyable car to drive in it's category, for one of the lower prices around. Good buy!
