Best every day commuter
This car is so reliable. I've never had any issues. Maintenance is very affordable and only requires regular up keep. It's a dream.

Great Mechanically - not so much structurally
This has been a great car overall. Good (not great) on gas, excellent handling and fun to drive, even with the 2.0l and auto trans. The seats are comfortable, even for longer drives and there is plenty of room for 4 or 5 if they are little ones in the back seat. Decent trunk size.
Some issues
1 - rusting. These cars are bad for it especially around the rear
wheelwells, trunk and rockers. I have managed as best as I
can with frequent Krown spraying.
2 - lousy audio system for reception, both AM and FM
3 - now that it is 9 years old many noises from the rear
suspension - replaced 2 springs and still harsh over bumps.
Overall been a great car - almost 200km and never let us down!

Amazing light travelling vehicle
Nice, quiet, spacious ride whether on a long distance trek or day to day living. Very reliable little machine that seldom has issues, a mechanic will not be seeing your automobile often other then a vehicles routine check ups. Good for family life even if you best companion is 150lbs of fur wagging their tongue out the window.

This is a great car with stylish design. This car has been absolutely reliable. The handling is superb. Tires are expensive as it's considered a sport car. You'll need snows- all seasons don't cut it. I love this car.

Great car
I have driven my Mazda3 for years now and Its very comforting. If you take regular care of your car, there is no way it is going to get any rust on it. Its pretty safe to drive and comfort is also excellent.

Love the pickup and fuel economy
This car really amazes me with it's fuel economy. $50 to fill up and I have gone up to 5 weeks on one tank- with driving it daily!

Surprisingly so, the pickup is excellent too. Usually with the fuel efficient cars you lack the excitement but I love driving this car. Will certainly miss it, but no longer need two vehicles.

This car has been reliable, no repairs required just regular maintenance. Excellent gas economy and hatchback allows for great space inside. Seats fold down. Tinted windows and rain guards give it a sporty look.

Love my ride!
I LOVE my Mazda 3, I really should do TV Commercials for Mazda. 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. I also happen to think the style is pretty darn hot, don't change a thing!! =)

BEST VALUE
Honestly, this car is a blast to drive, and the price you pay for it is insane. It handles like some much more expensive, sporty cars. Ive always gotten incredible gas mileage and the looks are great. Especially the dark blue models in hatch form. Theirs a nice aftermarket for them, and they are pretty sought after. Never had ANY problems, such a blast.

I love it!
It's so comfortable and you hardly feel the bumps on the road, although it is a small car! The interior is wonderful, and I love the heated seats for my bum, so nice in the Winter time! The stereo is new and updated so my kids are easily able to plug their iPods or phones in and we can rock to their awesome music!

Its a great car
i purchased a mazda gx, and its a great car , its a easy rider and nothing has went wrong with it since i had purchased it. I also got rear ended, and the bumper stood up to its duty, only leaving a couple of scratches and that was it. i love my car and by far the best vechile i have driven being a standard and all.
