It is a good car but not good enough.
I bought my Mazda3 in November 2022 at 495 Mazda in Lowell, Massachusetts. First time I buy this brand, but I always buy Japanese cars. I have mixed feelings about this car, it feels strong in general but sometimes it bucks a little and I don't like that sensation. Sometimes when I shut off the car it says the car can't find the key and it keeps running. I was locked in once, I couldn't open the door. I like the safety features: The radars, the apply the brakes signal if I'm too close to a car, the rear camera lets you know if something is getting close to you, etc. Nevertheless the radars don't work when it is raining or snowing. In general I will give a 3.5 stars, it's good for the price but it could be better.
Buy a Mazda from Cochran
I purchased a 2022 Mazda 3 Select from Cochran Mazda in Wexford, PA. The sales lead Ben Schuster was awesome to deal with and really knew the product. The car is amazing, a step up in quality over the German made 2015 car I was driving: more power, better mpg, better fits, the best modern tech, and all the comforts.
