Love this car, even with flaws

Paint has a few blemishes and seems to chip easily. Roof had a very small crease next to sunroof. Dealer offered to fix crease, but who wants their brand new car fiberglassed and repainted? I declined. Besides these items, so far I love this car and would buy it again. If I could improve anything, I would try to cut down on road noise by adding an undercoating to the chassis, or some other method.

Great car

I have the basic model that doesn't have all the technology and stuff. (It's too much for me, I don't need it) and the car is amazing!! Rides smoothly, really fast, and it's very comfortable. I love my Mazda 3!

Rainy day Mazda

When driving my Mazda 3 I feel very confident and worry free. I especially like the alert on my side view mirrors when another vehicle is in my blind site.Also the visual aid when backing up parking parallel. Only wish they had a front visual!! I've had Mazdas since 1979 and wouldn't think of having any other model of car!

Great Car!

Our last car was a 2007 Ford Focus. I was ready to buy a new one, but as I did my research, I began reading complaints about the new dual clutch auto transmission. When I went to my local dealer, they suggested that I drive one. I'll have to say, I was not impressed. The car hesitated, then surged when you tried to accelerate. There was also a lot of shuddering going on. My wife didn't even drive the car, and she noticed it as a passenger as being extremely annoying. The salesman then suggested that we try a new Ford Fusion. I'll have to say that this car, with the conventional 6 speed tranny, was much nicer to drive. The car rode real nice, and was quiet, but the seats felt cheap un uncomfortable. So in my research, I saw that the Mazda3 was rated best in class. I had previously owned a Mazda 323, and a Ford escort, which had a Mazda motor. So we went and test drove the Mazda 3. Most of the other brands were ruled out because they had CVT trannys. We decided to buy the Mazda 3, because it was a grand less than the Fusion, Way more fun to drive, Way better gas mileage, The 6 speed auto with manual option is the most awesome tranny that we have ever driven. It constantly keeps the motor in it's most happy operating range, and you can put it in manual mode and shift just like a manual. It is a very comfortable car too. The seats feel like they wrap around you, and they have memory foam in them. Good room and comfort in the back too. It just feels like we are driving a very expensive sports car. It has more power than we will ever use. It would be nice to have the more torquey 2.5 motor, but it only comes in the most expensive model, and gets a few less miles per gallon. Everything about this car is awesome. The lights are best ever, four wheel disc brakes, premium Bridgestone tires, best steering, best gas mileage, the only thing missing is a backup camera. I highly recommend this car over any other in it's class.

Best replacement for my beloved bug

When my beetle caught on fire last summer, I couldn't have been more devastated. I loved that car. I was horrified by the idea of giving up convertible life for a more grown up car. Not anymore! I love my 3. It's fun to drive, efficient on fuel, roomy enough for friends, outdoorsy trips, my big dog, and even to sleep in when I don't feel like packing a tent for car camping. So many more features for the money than similar cars, and it feels sturdier and spicier than everything else, too. My only regret it's getting an automatic because manual would probably be a blast in this car. Maybe my next one will be...

Mazda 2

I love my car! The Mazda 3 is great on gas mileage and very comfortable. I also feel that my family and I are safe in a Mazda. I will definitely buy another one.

2015 Mazda3

This is a much better car than my Ford Focus was. I prefer cars in this size class because of fuel economy, and I don't like to drive bigger cars. I don't see any advantage to having a bigger car that has more room if you don't need it. The Mazda3 is a very sporty, fun to drive car. I have the 6 speed auto, and I love it. I would not own a car with a cvt, and I absolutely hated the dual clutch tranny in the Focus after just one test drive. The other features that I like are the hillholder brake, which keeps you from rolling back when you stop on hills, the electric steering, which has a very positive feel, and the comfortable sporty interior. I have not driven a Mazda with the 2.5 motor, and I would probably like the extra power, but at the end of the day, I would still choose the 2.0 because it has all the power that I need, and it gets the best mileage. The 6 speed auto keeps it in it's happy zone, so it doesn't bog or rev too high. When acceleration is needed to enter a higher speed zone, enter a freeway, or pass, the motor instantly responds an accelerates impressively. This is a very fun car to drive, and when it comes time to buy a new one, I will probably get another Mazda3.

Great Car

My previous car was a 2007 Ford Focus. I liked that car, and was going to buy a new one in 2015, until I found out that owners were really complaining about the auto transmission which is a dual clutch design. I was also not fond of the CVT, so that ruled out most other cars. I almost bought a Ford Fusion which had a 6 speed auto similar to the Mazda, but it felt too big, underpowered, and the seats felt "cheap". So I drove the Mazda3 and it was the perfect car for me. I like everything about it. My wife drives it to work every day, and last summer, we took it on a road trip to Kansas City and back for a total of more than 4,000 miles round trip. The Mazda rides and handles great. It cruises at interstate speeds of 75 and 80 all day long. The onboard computer says that we average between 36.7 and 36.9 mpg. It corners better, has way better brakes (4 wheel disc), and more power and gear selection for steep upgrades (less shifting down and slower engine speeds). It actually feels like a sports car. One complaint was that the seats needed more padding for long trips, although we did have sheepskins on the Focus which wouldn't fit the sportier seats on the Mazda. We just sat on pillows, and everything was fine. This is not noticeable until after about 3 hours on the road. The Mazda and the Focus both have considerable road noise, but we bought some Weathertech floor liners for the Mazda and put the original floor carpet mats in the trunk. It made a difference. The only other complaint that I have is that in 2015 I had to upgrade to the Isport trim level to get cruise control, but it did give me several other options that you can look up. I know that there are several standard options on the newer models, like backup camera, blindspot monitoring, and they now all come with aluminum wheels, which mine did not. When the time comes to get a new car, I will most likely get another Mazda3. The only thing that Mazda is not offering to keep up with the competition is the warranty. Some of the brands are offering 100,000 miles compared to Mazda's 3 year 60,000.
