I will help you decide..Buy it! - 2010 Mazda Mazda3
By acreed - June 12 - 1:23 amIve only had the mazda3 several days and I am very impressed. I was originally looking into the Civic and Corolla just for a commuter, but the exterior and interior style of the Mazda3 really caught my eye. It handles beautifully and you get a lot of car and options for the price. Many of the "expert" reviews indicate the ride is stiff, but that is just opinion. Its not a stiff ride. Its a nice tight sporty suspension that gets excellent mileage, even with the larger 2.5.

Mucho Fun to drive - 2010 Mazda Mazda3
By PC - May 11 - 3:40 am2.0 L 5 speed Manual - absolute blast to drive, comfortable, but very quick and responsive. Overall mileage has been a huge surprise. 34+ MPG all in town driving (Chicago Area). Dont have any highway MPG numbers yet. Engine is very peppy/revving easily, relatively quite inside

GREAT CAR! - 2010 Mazda Mazda3
By AnnaB - April 17 - 3:36 pmI dont usually follow up to write reviews, but this car is awesome! I only had about $18,000 to spend on a new car and wanted to get the most bang for my buck. I had driven a 99 Protege for 10 years and loved the reliability of the Mazda brand. After looking at the Corolla, Elantra, Civic and Altima - the Mazda 3 stood out as the best pick. IMO, the Mazda 3 exceeded all of the other cars in terms of looks, quality and performance for the money. I park next to a BMV and Acura every day at work and feel that my new Mazda 3 looks just as great as those cars do. Now I look forward to my morning commute because I get to drive such a nice car. Honestly, I couldnt be happier with my pick!

Great Car for great price - 2010 Mazda Mazda3
By rosawoo - March 26 - 9:56 amTraded in a 1998 Navigator for cash for clunkers. Looked at several options before choosing mazda. This car offered more features for less money. Mazda also gave additional 500.00 back which made it even better. So far this car has not disappointed! Love the dark interior and blue tooth especially for my teenagers who will be driving it the most.

Luxury without the price tag - 2010 Mazda Mazda3
By Shelltop - March 13 - 5:33 amThis is my 1st Mazda. I was driving a 2000 Jetta before. I was interested in this car b/c of its sports car appearance. I was surprised to discover that it has a luxury car interior/feel without the price tag. I got the moonroof package. Its a smooth ride with a kick. Ive only had it for a couple of days. But, it has been fun!

Zoom-Zooms Past Other 3s... ;) - 2010 Mazda Mazda3
By patchmonkey - February 27 - 4:33 amIve managed to put nearly 5000 miles on this car in the three months Ive owned it - its just that much fun to drive. I have the fully-loaded (navigation, leather seats, AFS headlamps, etc.) model - and my girlfriend thinks that its hilarious that I literally smile and go "I love this car" every time I push the button and turn it on. Its a winner in every sense - and beats that "other 3-series" car on price, features, and...well, everything.

Im at 900 km now and the trip computer says my avaredge fuel usage is 10.5 liter/100 km that Im not happy about. Mazda make it use less fuel please

Excellent car - 2010 Mazda Mazda3
By Mike - February 21 - 7:23 pmWas planning on using our van on vacation when it blew a transmission seal. Loaded four adults (Im 64", 230lbs) and a trunk load of gear and headed to the Adirondack Mountains. Brand new car with less than 50 miles on it, averaged 36mpg over 850 miles with AC on. No problem on the hills, even though loaded. Handles great, more comfortable seats than our Ford van. Tried a 2009 Honda Fit, but the Mazda has more power, handles, better, feels more solid and gets great gas mileage.

Love it! - 2010 Mazda Mazda3
By lilkruse - February 19 - 9:26 amMajor upgrade from 2007 Chevy Aveo. Far more powerful and nimble. All the bells and whistles. Two months after having it still very satisfied. One thing I thought of is how much safer I am and everyone else in this compared to my previous car or the SUV I used to drive. You can brake and accelerate quicker, and there is minimal body roll. You are in control of this car, whereas the SUV you are along for the ride. Just think of those Trucks and SUVs we all have to drive next to that need so much more room to stop and have to slow to a crawl to turn. This is a great vehicle. Great Job Mazda!

Awesome car - couldnt ask for more! - 2010 Mazda Mazda3
By Brian - February 10 - 4:33 pmComing from an Expedition, the 2010 Mazda 3 has opened my eyes to a completely new world of driving. This car is so much fun to drive! It literally has everything: Navigation, heated seats, HID headlights, sirius radio, keyless entry/ignition, good gas mileage (Im getting ~28 mpg currently), bluetooth, and much more that Im forgetting. I literally love this car and am so glad I went with it. Im 64 260 lbs, and I fit in this car like a glove (surprisingly!). I would recommend this car to anyone. It has the features of a high end luxury car with a Honda Civic price tag. Get the Mazda 3, you wont be disappointed. Note: I purchased the 5 door Mazda 3 Sport Grand Touring - not 4 dr
