Fantastic!
This is a great vehicle. The body is designed very well, and I am impressed with the comments I get from other people. The seats aren't too soft, yet they are comfortable on long rides, so my back doesn't get sore. It doesn't do fantastic on fuel, but at 32 mpg on the highway, it certainly beats my truck! I love the way the interior looks, and how easy it is to fix/customize everything. The repair bills are a little higher than a domestic, but it has good resale value. Overall, aside from normal wear and tear, it does very well. I am thoroughly impressed and will definitely consider a mazda again.

Great Ride.
While I don't have the SKYACTIV technology that is available with the 2012 models, my MAZDA 3 gets great fuel economy, which is good because I drove it from Windsor, ON to Calgary, AB this summer. I am also happy with the acceleration available from such a small engine, some cars like the Focus just don't seem to have anything to them when you press the gas.

Great car if you get a good price
Ride comfort is average but corners like a dream, you do get oversteer however this car is one of the easiest to drive you really are in tune with the road. Because it is so easy to drive and control it has saved me from a collision or two. It always lets you know how its going to react and when you make a mistake it is easy to correct. I've put 85,000 km on mine and other than brakes and suspension no other issues. The interior is kinda cheap and plasticy however the dashboard lighting is a plus. With the rear seats folded down it is very practical you would be suprised on what you can fit in the boot.

Great Ride
I love my Mazda 3 hatchback. When the back seats are folded down there is plenty of room in the back if the rear shelf is removed. It very comfortably sits four for long journeys with still having lots of "trunk" space. The only complaint that I have is that you have to move the front seats to fold the back ones down, but once they are down the front seats can be moved back again.

2012 Mazda 3 Sedan
Mazda 3 Sedan is excellent on gas. It is very comfortable for 2 to drive around the city. Fitting in adult sized bodies in the back seat for any length of time is not a comfortable fit. There is no temperature guage in the car - a bit unusual. The back window should have included a wiper as snow and rain do not slide off easily. Have owned it only for 6 months but so far am pleased with handling and performance

I have nothing but great reviews for this car...could be a bit better on fuel... But as far as performance, style, comfort it is awesome! I would not recommend tires that come with it. The ones that came with mine were good for one thing...hydroplaning.But I have a great warranty,. In fact Mazda is very good for keeping me up to date on all recalls, new features on upcoming cars ,etc.

This is the first car that we didn't have to return to the garage to have something fixed.
If it hadn't been for oil changes we probably would have forgotten where the dealership was located.

A great car for a great price!
Out of all the cars in a similar price range the Mazda 3 wins over them all. it's a better made car, nice acceleration, breaking, and stearing systems. The fuel economy is lacking but I guess reasonable for it's size and class. I was used to a toyota yaris so you'll notice a difference. Overall very satisfied with this car. However, I would recommend that you opt for the skyactive engine. Had we had out time back we would have done that.

This car handles the road exceptionally, costs little on gas and is very comfortable. I wouldn't trade it! Absolutely love it. has a great sporty look as well and tons of space! I would recommend it to anyone from teenagers as a first car, young families, it has great storage in the back and lots of room in the back seat, or even older folks. Great car all in all. No complaints! Very reliable

I bought my Mazda 3 "NEW" in October 2007, it is now just over 5 years old, this has been by far the most reliable vehicle I have ever owned. The gas mileage is impeccable, the performance of this car makes me feel safe and comfortable. I have only put in the normal wear and tear into this car ( tires and brakes) since I have owned it. The customer service at Mazda have exceeded all my expectations. I will definitely be trading in this car for anther Mazda !!!!!!

from the moment I drove my Mazda3 off the lot I loved the way it handled and felt to drive. It handles wonderfully. It has an nice comfortable interior, decent back seat area for a car it's size and nice console layout. The outside lines and style is beautiful. On top of all that you get great fuel economy and a 5 star safety rating.
