  First New Car - 2010 Mazda Mazda3
  By Ray - February 10 - 5:33 am

  I purchased this car about 4 months ago and so far I absolutely love it. When I get in I feel like Im slipping into a glove which will do what I want when I ask it to. All of the features combined just make it a joy to drive while also very relaxing. You can really tell this is a 2010 vehicle - everything just seems well thought out, well designed, well implemented, and high quality. If I were to do it over again though Id probably get the hatchback for slightly better utility since its a big change going from owning a pickup to a compact sedan.

  So much better then a Honda Civic - 2010 Mazda Mazda3
  By Justine - January 17 - 11:10 pm

  I was a loyal honda civic fan but when I was shopping for a new car I had to look around. After extensive test drives and comparisons of fuel economy, price, reviews and resale value (Im an MBA student so I had a little too much fun with it). Anyways, hands down the Mazda3 was way ahead of the game... then I drove it- and fell in love. It drives like a sports car, it makes driving fun. It gets the same mpg as a Honda Civic but costs less. Ive put about 2K in 2 months on it and I have no complaints at all. Really its a great car and a great value.

  The best Mazda yet - 2010 Mazda Mazda3
  By Partial to Mazdas - January 13 - 11:26 pm

  I am partial to Mazda. I have owned to many cars from American to Japanese. I love cars. This is my 4th Mazda. I love everything about it. My husband loves it to which is surprising. It handles real well and has enough pick up. As far as gas goes I havent had it long enough to make a comment on that yet. The tech package is great. I have children and they have no problem with the room in the back seat neither do I. I always sit in the back to see where my knees are. I am 56" and i was comfortable back there. The trunk has good space to. I like the orange inside it lights up the dash rather well. The whole layout is perfect to me. I would recommend this car. you get alot for your money.

  Fun on a budget - 2010 Mazda Mazda3
  By J.L. Pruett - January 8 - 3:06 pm

  After five years of driving an F-150 I love driving and filling up our new Mazda 3. We wanted to replace the truck with an economy vehicle that is also fun to drive. So far we have no complaints.

  Impressive performance/quality for price - 2010 Mazda Mazda3
  By Chad in NH - December 17 - 2:00 am

  Im yet another reviewer coming out of a BMW 3 series and into the Mazda 3. Im stunned to say that this car is just as much fun to drive as my 325i was. Sure, its not as quiet (the 3s has more tire noise on the highway) and doesnt have all the extra luxuries my BMW had. With that said, the Mazda 3 is a far better value. Its truly BMW-like in performance and offers many options that you normally find only in higher price points-like the automatic rain-sensing wipers my BMW had. If youre someone who enjoys driving, the 3 is light on its feet, hugs corners, has plenty of power for its size and great stopping power. With all that and exceptional interior quality, its the one to buy

  Fun to Drive and few faults - 2010 Mazda Mazda3
  By MikeL - December 10 - 11:53 am

  After driving and owning Vipers and Corvettes I found this little car a blast to drive. Got the 2.5 Sport Touring. Build quality is better than the hand built Viper and you do get used to the smiley face look in a few weeks, great first car for my lucky kid to take to college.

  The Mazda has been a fun car to own. I have driven to Las Vegas and Arizona within the past few weeks and it has performed great.

  Smiley Face for a Reason - 2010 Mazda Mazda3
  By Hanky-pooh - October 21 - 9:26 am

  1st off,Id like to applaude Mazda for having the balls to design a car that isnt a corporate cookie cutter boring mainstream offering to the 90% of boring humans that are the status-quo! I think the smiley-face grill is awesome and evokes a fun feeling to the car.Im from Chicago,but got a great deal from a dealer from Omaha and drove my Audi quattro to get it.On the way back with the 3,we literally drove thru a blizzard thru Des Moines and we passed many ditched suvs without a hitch!Also,after 7 hours the seats were incredible!If this car is even remotely reliable,Ill consider it the best purchase of all of my auto life...including several Benzs and Audis!Bravo.....go check it out..

  Great Car! - 2010 Mazda Mazda3
  By Draygonia - October 14 - 4:20 pm

  Great value and if you can skip the tech package, it is an even better value! Nice entry-level luxury car. Fun to drive, but I would have opted for the automatic. Very, very reliable, very sturdy. I feel as if I can get many miles out of this thing before it dies.

  More than I need at below my budget !! - 2010 Mazda Mazda3
  By TONWAT - October 2 - 4:36 pm

  This car has everything I need(fuel economy, fun drive, sunroof, Bluetooth, leather seat) and more than I need (Bose speaker, memory seat, BT audio, Adaptive head light). I was comparing with Mini Cooper, Honda Civic and VW Golf GTI and these cars have some good features, but overall, Mazda3 has better value than these. Plus, 0 down, 0% APR/60 month, no payment until e/April pushed me forward to purchase this car!!
