Mazda Mazda3 2012Change

Great on gas! Rarely have had issues with the car and have been driving it for years. Comfortable interior and great looking exterior.

I have had my mazda 3 for about three years now and it has been a very reliable car. Only had to do scheduled maintenance, and the fuel economy has been good as well.

Great, small economy car. Comfy the passengers, handles well. Lots of interior space and good fuel economy. Couldn't ask for much more

This is our second one we've owned. The first one lasted 10 years and we are on year 5 for this one. Great leg room in the backseat for passengers and lots of options for hauling stuff in the interior. Car looks great and the only draw back is that it is too small for hauling a trailer. Other than, love this car.

I found my car using autotrader. It made the search easier and filters were up to date. So far I am happy with my purchase.

My Mazda has been an absolute dream car! It is so much fun to drive. My Mazda 3 handles great, is super fast, and extremely comfortable.

Only downside is that the backseat has very little leg room, but otherwise fantastic.

loved the sound system it came with, loved the user friendly audio/bluetooth/cruise control system.

Great acceleration, never had to get winter tires. It's very durable.
It drives so quietly puts passengers to sleep even at high speeds.

2012 GS Skyactiv. Bought this car brand new off the lot, Fully loaded leather sunroof bluetooth etc, I now have 125,000 km's on the car I use it for commuting, I commute about 130 kms round trip a day. It has a Nice design and is very comfortable. The best milage I got out of the car was about 830km's for a tank of gas when the car had about 40,000 km's on it. I average now about 700km's on the highway per tank.
Overall it's been a great car, I've done the front brakes once only and haven't done the backs yet. I switched summer tires...as you will need winter tires for this car, I've noticed the ride quality is a lot better with different tires and not the stock ones.
The car is little sluggish under the 3000 rpm range, which is ok by me because I did buy it for the fuel economy.
Overall it's been a great car, it has some really nice features compared to the impreza, golf, and jetta I was looking at buying. I would recommend this vehicle though it's been great. However if you are looking at this vehicle strictly for fuel milage I would opt for the vw diesel, mazda says 1000km's per tank with the skyactiv but i've yet to see it!

I like this car. I upgraded a few things (tires, speakers, exhaust, air intake) and the car just flies. The zoom-zoom factor is in!

Outstanding reliability, fuel eficency, fun to drive with allot of trunk space. Great looking vehicle with modern design. Sport 6 speed automatic transmission works excellent paired with 4-cyl 2.0L 148 HP engine is a perfect match. On 50L tank this vehicle can easily get 880 km range. Driver position is far more comfortable than in Honda Civic not to mention excellent visibility.

This car is great! A white mazda3 was always the car I wanted and it has not disappointed me. I have had no problems and will definitely re buy a Mazda!. Skyactiv technology makes for incredible mileage!

fuel efficient. and comfortable.performance is good but defiantly not a sporty car. I think Mazda has one of the best interior design among other Japanese cars.

I have several cars, this is my first new vehicle. It has been the most fun, sporty, comfortable, and fuel efficient car I've owned yet.

I have been a Mazda fan since my first GLC hatchback (1983 I think?) and while I have owned several other makes of cars in my lifetime, nothing compares to a Mazda. All four of the Mazdas I have owned over the years have been solidly reliable with great fuel economy, so when I decided that, for the first time in my life, I was going to splurge on a brand new vehicle, my local Mazda dealership was my first - and only - stop. I have had absolutely no regrets about purchasing this car! With the Skyactive engine (6 speed manual transmission) I get about 600km/tank, and that is with little to no highway driving. It's a very comfortable car, handles well in all conditions, and in my opinion is quite stylish compared to other cars in it's class. They've made some improvements to the dash panel since my 2006 model (which was already pretty nice) both functionally and aesthetically. I did opt for quite a few "bells and whistles" and I'm glad I did - well worth it! I am absolutely in love with this car, and would recommend to anyone who wants a stylish yet practical vehicle that drives like a dream! Zoom Zoom!

With the sky-active engine, it's very fuel efficient and doesn't lose on the power of the car. I feel very comfortable driving it and love all the safety features. This is my first car and I'm loving it! I'm not a big car person, but I really like the feel of driving this car. In the summer, it takes some time for the A/C to actually cool the car so it gets pretty hot, especially since I don't have tinted windows. Other than that, I am very happy with this car.

My mazda3 and mazda6 are the best cars for reliability and price. I can depend on them not breaking down and saving me money every time at the pump. 650 km for a tank of gas with my 3

I've only had this car for about a month but I'm having 0 issues so far. The gear shifts are smooth, the sound system is amazing for being stock and the engine is very quiet and has no leaks.

I bought this car because it was inexpensive, practical, and had a good fuel rating (rated better than my previous hybrid, actually). I found the fuel consumption to be a bit higher than I had expected, but I'm also a fairly aggressive driver, so that's the punishment you get, I suppose. So far it's been excellent at being a practical, boring car. Nothing more, nothing less.

The Mazda 3 sport is an excellent car that you can drive in comfort. A smooth and easy drive. Both rear seats fold down which gives plenty of cargo and storage place. Excellent for road trips! It is a fun and sporty car to drive. An excellent choice if you have kids espcially for the cargo space that it has. Fits a medium sized kennel which allows for you to take your dog with you on road trips or just a trip to the vet. The car has a very good sporty look and feel.

I purchased this car in September and I have not been disappointed!. This is a the skyactiv edition. The fuel economy is great. I do alot of city and highway driving. In the city I can usually get close to 600km on a tank and highway 700ish, This was the first small hatchback type car I've ever purchased and I do not regret my choice.

I've had this car since June 2012, and it has worked out to be a pretty good first car. The only thing I'm not so crazy about is the fuel economy. I get about 480 km per tank of gas.

I would have to say that in my opinion the Mazada 3 is a very good for a very good price.

My only real issue is that the seats are not very comfortable. ever since getting the car i have had lower back problems and it starts to get painfull if I have to drive for more than 30 min.

After thoroughly checking out the 5-door market, the Mazda3 Sport is hands down the best vehicle in this segment. Although it's list of standard features is not as exhaustive as others (e.g Elantra GT), this car is meant for drivers in a way that none of its competitors can match.

The 6-speed transmission is a dream to drive, mated with a precise clutch with excellent feedback. The suspension finds the right balance between handling and comfort. The engine has enough pull to make you feel the "Sport" but it's still sips lightly on the regular 87 octance fuel. Best of all, with the the flat-folding seats, you can still fit a ton of gear - or a -half-ton of gear with 5 adults.

If you're looking at the hatchback segment, go check out the Mazda3 Sport. You won't be disappointed.

I've been driving my Mazda 3 for about 6 months now and I have to say, it's the best car I've ever owned. 500-600 kliks to a tank for fuel economy. The handling is superb (comfortable driving at 140, doesn't feel fast at all).

Smooth comfortable yet firm ride which translates into great handling but a miser on fuel. The styling inside and out is pleasing aesthetically and functional as well.
