Mazda Mazda3 2010Change

The Mazda3 is a great car. Well designed, very spacious, this car will give you the illusion to be in a expensive car. The only area for improvement is the heating system. This system is too performant! Even at the lower heat, it's still too hot.

This is my first I bought brand new because I didn't want to worry about repairs any time soon. I am happy overall but there are a couple things that bother me. I paid for a "rust protector" and last time I put my car in for maintenance they found something rusted in the air conditioning and had to replace it... (only 2 years old).
Also, the seats get very uncomfortable for long rides and my girlfriend agrees when she is a passenger.
The rest of the car is pretty good.

Easy handling. Field of view is great. The car overall is a great starter car. The hatchback is a great option because it has an enormous amount of cargo space when the seats are pulled down. Overall a great car for a great price. Fuel efficiency is also great on the highway (we did a get a larger motor).

I find this car to be extremely fun to drive. I am generally not a car person and was initially reluctant to purchase a Mazda because of perceived issues. I was glad I was wrong. The car handles really well. The steering a very responsive. My only drawback is that I do find when I break that the breaks are super responsive. However, I've gotten used to this. One thing that I would like is a better horn. The horn is quite weak sounding. Overall I am super happy with this car. I got the hatchback version and it was the best decision I've ever made. It's been great with moving cargo to and from furniture stores and even on long car rides. Great little car for a first car.

Since I got my drivers permit, 20 years ago, I always wanted a Madza. Two years ago I but one and to this day do not regret it a bit.

Gas milage isn't that great. Original car battery died within 3 years and mazda wouldn't cover the full cost. The back trunk button came apart after a car wash in 2nd year. Had to pay out of my own pocket to fix. The car is very responsive to the gas petal which I like.

this car is very well build it looks very sporty i also find it very comfortable you can drive for days in it take a long trip sleep in it and as lots of room to but luggage fishing camping stuff in it the leg room is very good you can move your seat to just the right place as for the fuel you well never find one as good as this car i can go for a week on twenty dollars of gas interior is very smart looking would last you a live time if you take care of it and you would think it should be in a more high end car exterior very sporty looks like a very rich car the shape the wheels all very nice looking reliability you could not ask for anything better you need see this car die on the side of the road i would ever buy anything but a mazda

It's little wonder why the Mazda 3 is the brand's best-selling car. It boasts a stable ride, solid cabin appointments, a versatile hatchback body style, and a fun-to-drive character unmatched by most like-priced rivals of any size

For a smaller vehicle this car is quite roomy. There is seating for 5 along with ample stowage in the rear.

Great little everyday car for city or highway driving. Great gas mileage, low km, well maintained, spotless interior, original owner, non-smoker and includes set of winter tires on rims (purchased winter 2012)
Reason for selling is I moved to the country and bought a truck
Private sale

While the Mazda 3 represents an attractive used car choice, I'd look for one equipped with antilock brakes, and if an s model is in your sights, try to get one with stability control.

i have had this car for a couple of years now and i can not think of one problem with it, great car overall

grear ride,good fuel economy,good comfort,good performance,
need improovment on interior design,exelent exterior,good reability

I have nothing but great reviews for this car...could be a bit better on fuel... But as far as performance, style, comfort it is awesome! I would not recommend tires that come with it. The ones that came with mine were good for one thing...hydroplaning.But I have a great warranty,. In fact Mazda is very good for keeping me up to date on all recalls, new features on upcoming cars ,etc.

This has been a very reliable vehicle for me, great on gas, and never any problems, however, the look of the vehicle is subpar. There is nothing exciting about it, and the inside is quite uncomfortable. All things considered, I would not buy another Mazda

im 23 years old, and this is my first car that i bought on the money that i earned from my part time jobs. it brings a smile to my face everyday when i get out of the house just by seeing it. the exterior is just beautiful and the interior is also very stylish and clean. it picks up speed very quick when u need it, and it is very comfortable for everyday useage. when i bought this car, i also tried many other compacts, and this one stands out to be the best of all to me.

Reliable, the dealership is fantastic to deal with.
No problems with it at all, the extended warranty was cheap. We are going to purchase another one!

Very comfortable car and compact. Fits my needs. It is quite easy to handle and the size is great for parking. In my opinion it is a great car to drive around the city and I would say it is fairly good in gas / fuel consumption. The hatchback also makes it very easy to fit a lot more things than the tiny car seems to be able to fit which is definitely a bonus when you want to travel and drive the car out of town. It fits 5 people nicely and there is enough leg room for everyone making it quite comfortable to sit in.

One of the best cars I drove. Hated getting rid of it but we have a family and need some more space.
Car was so fun to drive and had a perfect blend of agility and performance.
Extremely comfortable seats and tons of standard features and options.
I still miss this car.

I have been very happy to be driving this car. no real problems. it is very cheap on gas with good kms.

A reliable vehice. Others have referred to it as "a good grocery getter". It is very basic but has pep. I am about to reach the end of my warranty, have yet to have ANY problems with the vehicle. Have yet to do any repairs to the vehicle.

No accidents, great drive for an amazing price and extremley good on gas. The handling is also great with the 6 speeds its fast and light. Also a Very reliable car have i have also never had any problems with it. Very spacious on the inside and comfortable. the car also has auxilary cables and bluetooth which is also great

This car was an upgrade from my Honda Civic hatchback because the Honda was only a 3 door and had no A/C.
The Mazda is equally reliable but didn't get anywhere near the fuel economy it was supposed to get. My civic got roughly 510 km per 40 litres and the Mazda gets 400 km per 40 litres.
The Mazda did have a lot of extra conveniences for a car in it's price range, they put a lot of thought into the design and didn't cheap out. Ipod connectivity, power mirrors, power windows, manual shift for the autmatic transmission, and AC plus it came with car mats - my civic didn't.

love this car,very quick,nice ride ,quick bakes,if you drive this car sensible you'll get about 35mpg's,hard around 30

The GS model is the mid line model. Great little car to drive. Has Manual Automatic shift which is nice to use when feel like it. Fairly quiet on the highway. Good on gas. Love the built in bluetooth option. Would recommend this car!

this is a really zippy car with great a great ride quality and good fuel efficiency. Gave me around 28-30 mpg in mixed driving conditions.

It can get a little tight in the back especially if you have kids but this is not a car meant for driving kids around town. the interior styling is good but personally i preferred the older mazda 3 interior styling.

the bluetooth phone and music player are very easy to use and very handy. Altough the 2010 model does not have a USB port for the MP3 players which is a bit of a bummer especially on a long drive.
