The most fun I've had since driving an Alfa Romeo.

Very fun car to drive. Even though I would love more straight line acceleration, you really feel the car as an extension of yourself into the drive. Even familiar roads to the store and back are fun!

A very responsive car

This is a very easy to handle car. It has ample leg room and head room. Acceleration on the highway is very good. The rear view camera proves to be very useful.

I own 3 Mazda 3s. That should speak for its self.

The most reliable car on the road. Great mileage, sharp look and the lowest maintenance cost of any vehicle I have ever owned. No reason to consider anything but a Mazda sedan.

Best car i bought

This car has so much more room then my previous vehicle. Very smooth riding as well as comfort. The hatchback style is on of my favorites.

I love my new Mazda3!

I love my new Mazda3 Sport, it really meets all that I want in a car. Small, efficient, comfortable, and reliable. The interior is beautiful. The safety features are great, with city safe breaking and blind spot monitoring. I wish I could have upgraded to a higher trim package to get the rest of the safety features, but unfortunately that would have required getting leather interior, which I do not want. I am very happy with the price I paid for this new vehicle, and the warranties offered by Mazda make me feel confident in my decision on the Mazda3.

Great value

Lots of features just wish I had got the grand touring for not much more that one has all the toys. Economical and fun to drive.

Drives so incredibly smooth.

This car has tons of room in the back seat as well as the front. It is so smooth and quiet but has an incredible sound system. Seats are very comfortable. Feels very safe. Excellent family vehicle.

Comfy and cute!!!

Love my car, super reliable and such a nice drive! The heated seats are my favorite during cold mornings and the sun roof offers a great way to get air when you’re not trying to use the air conditioner or have your hair blowing everywhere with the windows down

The Mazda 3 drives very smoothly.

The exterior is very beautiful and looks much more expensive than the actual price. I also love the dark blue color and it has little sparkles in it. The powerful 2.0L engine provides fast and powerful acceleration. Very high quality car for a reasonable price.

Way better than the last car I had

This car is much more spacious than my last car. Saves a lot on gas and rides smoothly everywhere I go. Definitely a great car!
