Mazda Mazda3 2009Change

awesome car the best car i have ever owned,never had a prob with it easy on gas rides nice,looks amazing

I find the Mazda 3 does not get warm enough if its very cold outside. other then that. I really like this car.

Overall nice car, but there are some smaller issues I have with this ride. First of all it is not meant for gravel roads. The gravel gets in between the tranny and frame and will then create a vibration when in reverse. You then have to crawl under the car and try to remove as much as possible. Another thing is the radio display. Hard to see during the day, not bright enough or else they used the wrong backlight for the radio. Another small issue is the dash rattles that come and go all the time. One spot will rattle for awhile and disappear and then another one will start. One last issue is the gas mileage. I have 2.3L motor and average around 34mpg driving at 108 kph. For a small car you would think it would get better than this.

Great reliable car. Handles very well and the fuel economy is terrific. Low maintenance. The five speed automatic gives it a lot of power in first and second gear. The interior is a bit crowded and the back seat area is very tight as well. Over the years the engine seems to be getting a bit noisy. It handles extremely well on rough roads and aggressive tires are required for wet roads.
