Trim: MAZDA3 SPORT GT

Researched for closed to a year. Couldn't be happier
Compared to others in it's class the Mazda 3 blows the competition away. Especially the 1st generation model that is built in Japan. I went for the top trim when looking for a second hand car. It is zippy and reliable. For the price it is cheaper and better than a second hand honda civic which has a mark up due to it's name. Interior has leather seats, climate control, cruise control, AUX and heated seats. The hatchback is great for our pet dog to sit in. GT model is not as fuel efficient as the lower models due to it having close to 160hp. Love this car and will be driving it for years to come.

Low maintenance with great, fun options and still a bit of zip. I had so much fun with this car, love the look and the handling. Smooth, quiet ride, lots of space for 4 people. Great in the city and steady on the highway.

Awesme Vehicle
Its a great car, awesome exterior and interior ! I just which the fuel economy was a bit better in the city. It has a 2.3L engine with around 158 hp, just wish it had the new 2.5L Sky Active Engine with 188 hp. I know more power may equal less fuel economy but Mazda's brand new 2014 Mazda3 proves wrong. If you can't afford new this is a great car, but once you have it you wish you could have the brand new one too!

FABULOUS Mazda 3 SPORT GT
I have loved owning this car and am sad to have to sell it. I am leaving the country and therefore will need to sell it. The car has so much pep and performance. The power is there when you need it and it is the most comfortable car to drive that I've ever owned. It handles well in all weather conditions and has tremendous space for transporting things because of the hatchback! With the additional features like leather interior, heated seats, cruise control, steering wheel buttons for the sound system, 5 CD changer etc it's a luxurious feel!

It has been a fantastic car, sad to let it go but.......
Terrific to go around corners and parking. Very dependable and economical car to move in and out of the City. Car has been inside garage as we go south for the winter months. Car has been mostly highway driven - Toronto /Ottawa/ Deep River. We serviced this car at Mazda dealer both in Ottawa and Toronto,
Must sell as we purchased an SUV. We priced this car to sell.

Great Car
I've had my Mazda3 for 4 years now. I love the style, much more than the newer versions of the 3 series. It is stylish both inside and out with several upgrades that come standard. The only complaint I would have about the Mazda3 is that I have worn through tires fairly quickly. I don't believe its due to my driving style although I do drive a lot (highway). That gas mileage is great but my tires wear in strange patterns even with regular tire rotation. I have always bought good tires and never had trouble with tires before.

Great car for single or family!
Purchased new and love this car! I've never had any issues with this car that wasn't out of the norm. Highway driving is smooth and comfortable.
I love the rain-sensing wipers and now know it must be on my next vehicle! I also initially underrated the heated mirrors...until the first good layer of ice in winter.
Added vent-visors are perfect on rainy days when you want a little fresh air.
Trunk is nice and big.

2009 Mazda3
The first few years have been great. I love the hatchback. I can't tell you how many times I was glad to have the extra room and hauling ability.
Thus far the fuel economy has exceeded my expectations, but I hyper-mile when I drive and am very conscious of not accelerating like crazy or braking hard.
No major issues to report in terms of repairs. There was a small issue with the stereo that was fixed, and I've had a couple of flat tires, but other than that, nothing major
One serious negative are the 'performance' tires - they needed to be replaced around 60K, and I would prefer to have something rated for 100K+ and sacrifice a little handling

Much Ado about nothing ....Oh and the 2009 Mazda 3 GT Sedan
I've owned this model now since new and have loved it since day one. Mine is the 5 speed manual version and if you can drive a stick, I would highly recommend going for a manual over the automatic due to the peppy acceleration and better use of the power rev range from the engine.
I find it accelerates well for just a 175HP 2.5L I-4 engine, the suspension holds it own in the corners and on all rough roads giving a comfy ride for a sporty compact sedan.
The only real downside I find is though it has 3 seatbelts in the rear seat area, I wouldn't try to put 3 adults or even 3 kids in it as their isn't really enough room. but for a family of 4 it is a nice fit, and still fun to drive.
Oh did I mention it is fun to drive?
