Great car horrible customer service
I have no problems with the car. Or even the person that sold me the car. My beef is with the dealerships that I have brought it to for maintenance. I have tried two different dealers and both of them did NOT take the initiative in stamping my warranty book and both did a horrible job washing my car.

Gorgeous car!
I love my Mazda 3, such a smooth ride and it's very comfortable. It's very good on gas, I've had it for a almost a year now and I love it more now than I did when I first bought it. I highly recommend this car to anyone!

Smoothest ride ever!
The Mazda 3 handles more smoothly than any other car I have ever driven. It corners with great stability, the suspension is amazing and the experience is so enjoyable. The Skyactiv powertrain technology is innovative and makes for the best gas economy of any car in its class. Equipped with extra features like Bluetooth and heated seats I feel so pampered! Also the sleek design of the car inside and out mean I feel like Im driving in style.

It's really smooth
Haven't had any problems with it at all. It's always been a good car, the only problem we had was a window that wouldn't go up but that was an easy fix.

We bought this car about a year ago, we have never had a problem with it. The Fuel millage we get with it is great and it handles the winter roads better then my 4x4 truck.

2012 Mazda 3 Sedan
Mazda 3 Sedan is excellent on gas. It is very comfortable for 2 to drive around the city. Fitting in adult sized bodies in the back seat for any length of time is not a comfortable fit. There is no temperature guage in the car - a bit unusual. The back window should have included a wiper as snow and rain do not slide off easily. Have owned it only for 6 months but so far am pleased with handling and performance

A great car for a great price!
Out of all the cars in a similar price range the Mazda 3 wins over them all. it's a better made car, nice acceleration, breaking, and stearing systems. The fuel economy is lacking but I guess reasonable for it's size and class. I was used to a toyota yaris so you'll notice a difference. Overall very satisfied with this car. However, I would recommend that you opt for the skyactive engine. Had we had out time back we would have done that.

My Mazda3
from the moment I drove my Mazda3 off the lot I loved the way it handled and felt to drive. It handles wonderfully. It has an nice comfortable interior, decent back seat area for a car it's size and nice console layout. The outside lines and style is beautiful. On top of all that you get great fuel economy and a 5 star safety rating.

Gas mileage improvements come at a small Zoom Zoom compromise.
I have had this car for a month. I haven't calculated the mileage, but it uses less than half the gas of my previous vehicle. I don't know if it delivers Transport Canada's rating of 58 mpg highway, but if the figures are comparable, then it gives better highway mileage than a Toyota Yaris.
It is a fun car to drive, has great handling, and a comfortable and surprisingly quiet ride. The rpm's are barely above idle when you are driving the automatic transmission at 70 kph or less, so you don't get a big surge of power when you step down on the gas pedal. You can get around this somewhat by using the manual mode, when you want performance over economy, but I get the technological innovations that improved this car's fuel consumption ratings are part of what attracted me to this vehicle.

Good for city driving...not highway
Not the most powerful or quickest of vehicles, but it's all you need for city driving and running errands. I got the 2.0 engine as my annual mileage is so low that in the long run, a SkyActiv wouldn't save me that much.
This car struggles going from 80-120 especially on an going up a ramp, so if you do a lot of highway driving, go for the 2.5 litre model.
The car engine is a bit noisy, but I'm coming from a six cylinder engine which are typically quieter.
Would I buy this car again? Not likely. Not because it's bad or has given me problems. But it's just me. I thought I could live with a smaller less horsepower engine. Turns out I can't. :-)

Great bang for the buck!
I bought this car brand new back in January of this year and I absolutely love it! The experience has been fantastic!
I would strongly recommend a Mazda 3 to anyone interested in buying a car.
Can't say enough good things for this great car!

When it’s come to handling it gives you this feeling that I’m protecting you. Better traction & ground force. Fabulous interior and exterior quality. Out standing stranded features. Great Value for money because it made in Japan.
