Great Car
Bought this car as my first car. It never gave me any problems, it's always been reliable. Of course over the 6 years I've had it, it just needed a little maintenance as would any vehicle. All in all, it drives great, feels comfortable, good on gas, and I love the look of it.

Reliable Ride
I LOVE my Mazda 3, It is without a doubt THE most reliable car I've owned. In the years I've owned it, I have not had to do anything other than regular maintenance to it (all maintenance done at mazda). I also happen to think the style is pretty darn hot, don't change a thing!! =) Its a great car, awesome exterior and interior !

rust bucket
bought new loved it babied it until the rust on both sides of rear wheel wells showed up. This car never sat outside always in my garage. In march of 2013 with only 59000 km I tried getting assistance to help fix it. They denied me. With no fault of my own on how I took care of it this was strictly design problem.

It's been a reliable car with a few minor issues. The only issue has been a check engine light that hasn't responded to suggested solutions.

Nice Ride
A small comfortable car. Great for city diving. Nice leather interior makes that car very stylish. Would recommend for anyone looking for an affordable car. got the car 5 years ago and still running like new. only work done on the car was body and paint because of a hail storm and an alternator. for a 7 year old car its not bad. it was my first car and i happy I decided to buy it. Bought it used for a reasonable price. Ive drove Honda's most of my life but happy with a mazda. Good car I give it a 8 out 10.

Great Car
Great car, great on fuel, love the performance, very happy with this car. I have a family with 2 kids and I wanted something that was 4 door but still contained style. I got that with this car, also the car handles so well. For a small car its got a lot of power.

Great affordable car!
I have owned my car for 3 years now and have had very minimal problems with it! I highly recommend this car for anyone. My car is a 4 door and the back seat is very roomie for car seats etc... It also has a very big trunk and makes grocery shopping really simple! The fuel economy is great! I get around 700/km a tank which i think is pretty good! Definitely a highly recommended car!

The best car I've ever owned
My Mazda 3 (GS 5-speed with sport package and power package) is hands-down the best car I've ever owned. In almost 8 years, it's never let me down. The only failure was the O-ring on the gas cap - a $60 fix. The car still feels new, is still fun to drive, and with the 5-speed it out-accelerates almost anything on the road. Shift down and easily climb the hills of the Coquihalla Hwy at 120kms/hour.

Good car - Low price
Quick off the line and aggressive in the curves, in the world of compact cars the Mazda3 is the true driver's bread and butter. And with up to 4.9 L/100 km highway,† the driving excitement goes on and on.

Mazda pretty much got it right, like driving an ecomomy sports car
Owned since new and the handling and reliability have been outstanding. We have 115,000 kms and no repairsrequired to this point just regular maintenance. Around town it's very economical, a fun sporty drive, easy to park and plenty of trunk space for those shopping trips. On the down side comfort is slightly compromised on those long trips but would not stop us from buying this car again. We love this little car and plan to keep for 10-yrs.
Zoom, Zoom - Thanks to Mazda.

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.
