Great Car!!

The attention to driver comfort and safety features in the car are second to none at this price point. I have been buying cars for 30 years and I have never seen a better styled or feature equipped car at this price. I am now a huge Mazda fan! You have to see for yourself.

A car with a lot of safety features

Good value for the price . Better than I expected. This car features that you expected to be just in a luxury vehicle. Worth every penny.

Beautiful Mazda 3

I just started a lease on a 2020 Mazda 3 Hatchback. I love the AWD and terrific safety features. The styling inside and out is dazzling. It is my first Mazda after Fords for a number of years. Since Ford abandoned sedans which remains my vehicle of choice I was happy to join the Mazda team which proves to be a nice upgrade.

Great for the price!

I am really loving my 2020 Mazda 3. It drives and handles great (sport mode down Lake Shore Drive). I'm still getting used to all the features but here are some I love. Dual climate control, city cruise control, Android Auto, automatic window controls on all 4 windows! I even enjoy the sound of the doors closing, something I didn't expect here and though I would need to buy a luxury car for. The ride is also very quiet. Mine does have the standard speakers but they have been great with everything I've listened to so far. Bas isn't really there but voice clarity is awesome. I would definitely recommend this car to anyone looking for options.

Fantastic car!

I recently purchased my 2020 Mazda 3 Select, I can only say good things about it. I traded in my 2004 Mazda 3 for this. Styling; beautiful, simple, minimal but oh so worth it. The interior is minimal yet very beautiful, striking lines and curves. The cabin seems small but doesn't feel it. The audio system is fantastic, Mazda moves the speakers to completely new spots and they work! Only better thing would be the upgraded Bose audio. Engine; it's got good power. The new 2021 with the optional turbo will make all the world of difference. It still put me in my seat but I can tell it's slightly hesitant. Fuel Economy; it could always be better. I commute 50 a day for work. I avg 36mpg which is 1 better than the EPA estimates. Going to work I get 50mpg coming home usually around 39 because of traffic. Options; the Radar cruise control is the best thing ever! I set my cruise to 80 on the freeway and typically don't take it off until I'm home. Overall it's fantastic! I'd recommend the car to everyone. Looks great and drives great!

High end looks and feel for a economy car.

This car is amazing! The interior is quiet and luxurious and the body is european sexy. Handling is superb! I regularly drive a challenging 40 km road to the lake and the Mazda 3 takes it like a true GT.

Mazda Has Stepped Up It's Game

Being a Premium version it has most of the bells and whistles you would expect from a premium brand without the higher cost. Even though they changed the rear suspension it still handles like it's on a rail. The power is alright and the transmission is seamless. The seats are real leather and are very comfortable. The infotainment system has a slight learning curve and the main center screen isn't a touch screen. AC blows cold and the Bose radio has excellent sound.
