This car feels very neutral and smooth in corners at any

This car feels very neutral and smooth in corners at any speed. Sometimes, it feels like it's too easy to go too fast in this because the grip is so confidence-inspiring. I have the non-turbocharged model, which has plenty of giddy up to it. I'm not sure if I regret choosing it over a turbocharged variant but there's plenty

of power for my needs. The gearing is pretty tall and you need to plant your foot to let it rev out and find the right gear, but doing so is rewarded with a very responsive and surprisingly smooth engine for being a 4 cylinder. I was feathery on the gas at first, so it was underwhelming but I adjusted to the inputs. The car feels plenty sporty and the grip makes cornering feel amazing. The rear suspension is torsion beam and you will notice it on very poor roads, but everyday driving on decent roads feels super refined, quiet and grip is not affected by this suspension arrangement. I'm very happy with my purchase. I'm 6'3" and fit pretty comfortably in the car even with the sunroof right above me. I've been in cars with more front legroom and have been less comfortable than I am in this car. Seat bolstering could be an issue for those with wider shoulders. I'm someone who loves a low driving position, so this car is a godsend in a world of soulless, blobby SUVs. I think this is the best all-around compact car you can get.

I’m a very proud owner of my Mazda 3 with the Preferred

I’m a very proud owner of my Mazda 3 with the Preferred Package. I’ve only owned it not even a month yet, and I wish I bought this car prior to the vehicle I traded for it. It’s still getting broken in, but it has every feature I could ask for and need. The gas mileage is great, it’s comfortable, quiet inside, has the get up

and go when needed and so much more. Granted, I can’t really give a good review, but so far my Mazda 3 has really impressed me and always puts a smile on my face when I’m driving around.

2024 Mazda Mazda3 review: Our expert's take

What Is the 2024 Mazda3?

The 2024 Mazda3 is an agile, fun-to-drive five-seat compact car. It’s available in four-door sedan and hatchback form with front- or all-wheel drive (on select trims). A 191-horsepower, 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine paired with a six-speed automatic transmission is standard; a six-speed manual is offered, but only on the front-drive 2.5 S Premium hatchback. An available turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder delivers 227 hp when running on regular gas or 250 hp on premium gas; it’s paired with the automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. Mazda3 rivals include the Honda Civic, Hyundai Elantra, Kia Forte and Toyota Corolla.

What’s New on the 2024 Mazda3?

Blind spot warning, rear cross-traffic alert and a rear-seat reminder are now standard on every 2024 Mazda3, and a new 10.25-inch infotainment screen with wireless smartphone connectivity is standard on Turbo models. A new Carbon Turbo trim level joins the range, combining the more potent powertrain with cosmetic touches like Zircon Sand Metallic paint, metallic-black 18-inch alloy wheels and black side mirrors.

What Features in the 2024 Mazda3 Are Most Important?

Standard features include:

Rain-sensing wipers
8.8-inch multimedia screen

Should I Buy the 2024 Mazda3?

If you’re looking for a small car with delightfully athletic handling and an upscale ambiance, put the Mazda3 on your shopping list. Keep in mind, though, that the backseat is snug for adults in both body styles, and rear visibility in the hatchback leaves a lot to be desired. Upper trim levels — especially those fitted with the optional turbocharged engine — can get pretty pricey, but they have the look and feel of a true luxury vehicle. Kudos to Mazda, too, for keeping a manual transmission on the option sheet, even if only in one model.
