Mazda Mazda3 2010Change

Amazing car, great comfort. Just a bit noisy. I can hear the noise from outside. That's the only problem I see with this car. I would recommend it as a first car.

Driven this car since new & never had a problem other than replacing tire due to poor road surfaces & bad luck other than regular maintenance as followed by the manufacturer owners book.

Excellent, car has never let me down. 4L per 100km on premium gas. Always making sure that gas purchased is really premium with proper octan rating and clean gas. Per documentation from gas supplier. Castrol oil changed yearly, Engine flush every 3rd year. Fule Injectors cleaned May 2017
Transmission oil changed and flushed every 5th year. Still using original brakes, tires and spark plugs to date Aug 12 2017 56000 km
AC maintained personally filters interior and under hood changed yearly. interior very easy to clean No smokers children or pets inside.

If you want a car that is fun to drive, decent on fuel and compact, the Mazda 4 hatchback is for you. We were able to haul a surprisingly amount of stuff with it. It is an overall fun car ro drive and is relatively comfortable.

Despite only having an mediocre engine (especially for a "SPORT" model), this car handles and maneuvers incredibly well compared with its class, and still has enough zip to satisfy most drivers.

The aesthetic design and styling are mostly quite good, and the accouterments are about on par with similar vehicles on the market.

The "guts" of the car have aged well to this point, with no major concerns yet.

I'm somewhat less impressed by certain cosmetic features over time (unusually loud road noise at speed, multiple very noticeable rattles, a significant amount of plastic in the interior), but nothing that's a deal-breaker.

This is a solid, generally well-built car that serves my needs exceptionally well.

This is my second Mazda 3 GT and I could not be happier. Ideal commuter car with a great mix of performance and fuel economy.. Be ready to replace suspension back and front but other than that super reliable

I love this car. A good set of tires and rims are really worthwhile on this cars performance. Too far between shifts though otherwise it would really kick well enough.

Car had been great for first 3 years, then started having trouble starting engine. Would have to start the car in neutral until that no longer worked. However, now that the problem has been fixed, I have had no major issues with it. I have only had to replace the brakes. That's it.

I have owned this vehicle for 7 years with very minimal problems. Just normal wear and tear, new brakes, and new battery.

Bought in 2010 and only this past January 2017 I had to change the tires! Great lasting parts on this vehicle.

ALso very good on fuel economy!

I bought a Mazda3 GT 2010 in Jun 2010.
Good:
Performance is amazing
Reliability is very good----I've driven for 180,000 km so far and it never down on the road.

Bad:
Price is kind of high---It spent me cad 30200 on road;
Suspension is kind of hard--you will not feel comfortable on bad road
Seat is kind of narrow so that long trip will be easy to feel tired;
Original tire is way to soft---I have to retire all 4 tires at 58000km

Overall I'm satisfied with the quality, performance and reliability but next car I won't buy it again.

Bought it nearly five years ago and have been completely satisfied - never any problems. It's totally reliable and gives very good fuel mileage (8-10 l/100 km). It's 2.5 l engine is peppy. Lots of trunk space too with the back seats folded. I'd certainly buy another Mazda.

This car is very economical, drives very smooth, and has a lot of zip to it! This vehicle is very comfortable and perfect for both city and highway driving. I loved it!

Bought it about 6 months ago at 72K manual with AC Bluetooth sunroof etc.
The ride drives very smooth 42 liters give me approx 620km therefore is very fuel efficient
There not not much room at the back specially for child seat or big guys to sit. The standard sound system is very well as well.
Shocks are too stiff but you get used to it. pick up is nice and aggressive.
However reliability is not at its best. 1 month ago my rear door lock stopped working, a month before that my AC started making some weird noise, last week when I go over a bump I hear a rattle from the heat shield I believe its the heat shield.

It is my second mazda 3 and I love to drive it. Cheap on gas, nice look, comfortable inside (long drive - like from Manitoba to Alberta). My next car will be Mazda 3 as well :)

My mazda3 has low kms, is very safe and fuel efficient! It has never been involved in an accident, and has all of it's papers for oil changes ect. It is in great condition and still looks brand new! It has never had any problems and has new tires. It was well taken care of and drives as if brand new. It is the perfect little car!

You will love this car ,I had it for the past 4years .
It is a great car . the car’s upscale interior materials and sleek design make it feel like a more expensive car. I find the seats comfortable and supportive and the spacious cabin has enough head- and legroom to accommodate most adults, even in the back seat.

I have had this car for nearly six months and I love it. It's fast, light and it stops on a dime. Turns a lot of heads. People do notice the vehicle. It's got all the bells and whistles. Fuel economy is terrific. I used to drive a pick up truck and I won't go back to a truck. I love having money left in my wallet after I leave the gas station.

The trunk is very roomy for a small car and it came with an attachment for a roof rack. Takes me 5 minutes to add or remove the roof rack to carry our bicycles.

The manual tranny shifts very smoothly and the engine is very quiet.

Once you drive this car, you'll never go to a domestic vehicle.

I have the fully loaded Mazda 3 GT-E from GPS, leather, BOSE audio system to automatic wipers and I love this car. I bought it in June 2009 and almost 5 years later with 110k on it in feb 2014 I did not have any problem with it. The only thing is with all those fancy electricity draining options you can kill your battery pretty quick in the winter if you live close to work and dont give it time to charge.

The Mazda3 hatchback 2.5l is a great car. It has good handling and the motor is responsive, never gave me a problem when overtaking or going up a hilll.

Inside it is very well designed and of good quality, it is not a luxury car but it does not feel cheap either. The driver seat could be made more comfortable, but at least has basic adjustment levels and a bit of lumbar support. I did multiple 5+ hours trips without mayor discomfort.

As a hatchback it has enough room for a small family and roadtrips. It's foot print is small in the city and the garage.

Overall it is a great car, with enough pep and handling to make it a fun drive, and space to haul my small family.

This car is ideal for anyone.
On the inside this car has room to spare but is compact enough to fit into the tiniest of spaces.
It handles exceptionally on the road.

Awesome car, best car for the money. Has more features that any comparable car. I would keep buying Mazda’s 3s.

This is the second Mazda 3 I've had in a row for the last 8 years. Best in class, best car for the money.

Nothing but great things, adventures, regular maintenance has made it a continuously great dependable vehicle!! Two thumbs way up!

Love, love, love this amazing car. There is normal wear and tear on it, but otherwise, she still purrs like new.
She is great on the roads. Mostly highway travel done with her. She still isn't broken in properly yet. Anyone who owns a Mazda 3 knows what I'm talking about. Nothing to complain about what so ever! Never an issue with the car. Even minus 45 below freezing, and my word, was not plugged in for over 24 hours in that bitter cold. I hop in. Start her up. Purrrrrr. She started without hesitation! Was totally surprised and amazed and loved her even more from that day on! :P
