This Year's Model Updates:

The 2007 Mazda 3 sees a number of changes. Although these include a minor exterior refresh involving mainly the taillights, most are more functional. Now standard on all Mazda 3s are a tire-pressure monitor, an auxiliary input jack for the stereo, a rear-seat center armrest and an additional power point in the console. A stability control system becomes available on the Touring and Grand Touring trims.

Pros:
  • Athletic handling, refined engines, strong brakes, sharp styling, top-notch build and materials quality, hatchback utility.
Cons:
  • Top safety equipment either optional or on higher trims, tight rear legroom, so-so fuel economy with 2.3-liter engine.

  • Happy with my choice - 2007 Mazda Mazda3
    By -

    I bought this car for the available options and the options werent even available on the Civic. The Civic just looked too boring compared to this car. I also bought the car because of the safety equipment. The real reason I bought this car is the looks for the money. The dynamic stability control I think saved me once when I swerved to miss something on the highway and overreacted. I turned the wheel way too much and then corrected to go straight again. My last car was a Park Avenue and it would have gone out of control for sure, not that I am knocking the Park Avenue.

  • Zoom-Zoom is Fun-Fun - 2007 Mazda Mazda3
    By -

    I bought mine in Oct. of 2006 and it is really fun to drive. I got the manual so I could actually feel the car when I drive. I wanted one a couple of years ago when they first came out but bought something else instead. I am glad I finally own one. This thing flies and handles for its size and price.

  • Nice Car for the price - 2007 Mazda Mazda3
    By -

    I have owned my Mazda3 for about a month. I went and drove the new Hondas and the new Toyotas and did not even check out the American makes. For the price of the Mazda3, it out performs in acceleration, handling, braking and shifting. It is also more comfortable and just all around more enjoyable to drive. If you want a nice car that has a sexy design and drives well for a great price, then I suggest the Mazda3.

  • Great vehicle but dont load it down - 2007 Mazda Mazda3
    By -

    Ive owned my Mazda 3 i-touring (2.0 cylinder 5M) for about 5 months now and I think I can give an honest review having used it for ALL purposes. I initially used it to commute daily (120 mile round trip) and it was SUPERB. Great mileage, fun drive, good turn radius. My one complaint was perhaps road-noise on the highway and the stereo is a little tinny. Next I drove it long haul from Northern WA state to Southern CA loaded with luggage. While I did fine maintaining highway speed, I got bad mileage and the car rode HARD. Also, I was very uncomfortable no matter how I adjusted the seat. It has done great in SOCAL. Recommend: Use for city and commutes - avoid full passenger load - rides hard when full.

  • Awesome car for the money, ZOOM-ZOOM! - 2007 Mazda Mazda3
    By -

    This car is a total ZOOM-ZOOM ride and buy. I test drove many cars and found this one to be the very best for the value and safety. This sedan falls in the class of a higher model, even with heated seats. I am so impressed with all the options, and especailly the look and style of the car. My wife loves the interior of this car, especially at night. Sweet instrumental colors. This car is built well from Japan and is a "J" car. You can not beat the price, options and features. You cant beat the feel, drive and stablity of this Mazda 3 S Grand Touring. I am more than happy with this car. I have added all the accessories that I could get with this car. I have added: bra, wheel locks, 6 CD Bose system, moonroof, all weather floor mats, cargo mat, compass/autodim mirror with Homelink, rear lid spoiler and the cool intake unit.

  • Mazda3 Sedan - 2007 Mazda Mazda3
    By -

    I bought my Mazda3i sedan AT two months ago. It performs well, Im only sorry I didnt choose manual transmission as the engine is very lively and car itself is light, so MT may give you better feeling of the car. But the AT performs smooth, is very responsive and very comfortable to ride. Being 62" means many of the cars just wont give you enough space. Only question I may have is the fuel economy. I do 1/2 hwy & 1/2 city with one passenger and after 2500 miles, I got not more than 26 mpg. I thought it would be more savvy on gas consumption.

  • love this car - 2007 Mazda Mazda3
    By -

    i read the reviews here before i bought this car used, and i have not been disappointed. i love this car. its fun to drive, rather zippy for a 4 cyl, stylish, great stock sound system. cup holders are poorly placed right behind the shifter or in the doors (ok for a bottle, but not for a cup with straw). both back seats fold down, and i fit my 62cm road bike in the trunk just this morning. i get 28mpg in the city, 34mpg on the highway in the arizona mountains.

  • All other compacts - eat your heart out - 2007 Mazda Mazda3

    I bought my Mazda3 at the beginning of November & so far have had NO problems but lots of fun! This car is fun to drive, has room for all 4 of my family, and a cute sporty look to it that gets constant comments.

  • The Best Car Under $22k - 2007 Mazda Mazda3
    By -

    Forget Civic, Corolla, even an Accord 4 banger. Buy a Mazda 3. This is the 2nd one Ive owned, and its great. Great option packages, good engine, with outstanding reliability. This car has features that cars in the $30k range dont have i.e. leveling headlights, leather seating, heated seats, mp3 output, navigation. All of these are available, and at a great price. Now for the engine, lots of "Zoom- Zoom", but go for the 5 speed manual-lots of fun. The only thing I dont care for are the tires that come at standard equipment. These Goodyears stink, but when they wear in 15k, Im going for the Michelins. I had em on the last one and they are great in all weather.

  • Buy it, you wont regret it - 2007 Mazda Mazda3
    By -

    My first new car since 1997, this vehicle is fun and gutsy. I have the power to merge and pass, and the handling to take curves with little effort. I researched a Dodge and a Toyota, but after driving this car, I loved it.
