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.

  Poor Mileage - 2007 Mazda Mazda3
  By Judy - December 30 - 3:30 am

  I loved everything about this car when I first saw it. Now that I have had it for almost 2 years, I am disappointed in the mileage. I do mostly city driving, and I am lucky to get 25 mpg. I was told I would get high 20s and mid 30s on the highway. No way that is happening. Also, I had the tires rotated, and the car is very noisy. Would prefer it to be a quieter car. Love the looks of it though.

  Best Car Ive Owned so far - 2007 Mazda Mazda3
  By Guru666 - December 27 - 4:23 am

  I bought the i sport base model, 5 speed (I dont buy automatics) with no power options. Handling and cornering is excellent, and the engine and transmission are smooth. Passing is no problem as long as you know how to drive. I have been very happy with this car thus far. Its a very affordable car that I actually take pride in. I wouldnt even consider a civic or corolla after buying this car. I drove the base model Mazda6 and would take the Mazda3 any day. I did put after market 17 inch rims on the car. With steel 15 inch steel rims I averaged 33 MPG mixed driving, with the larger wheels I average 28 MPG. This car is very reliable and I look forward to driving it every chance I can.

  Zoom Zoom for sure - 2007 Mazda Mazda3
  By Grose81 - December 27 - 1:56 am

  Having driven a ford escort (mazda SOHC engine) I wasnt accustomed to the PU. Beware, the motor hums in 5 gear from 35 to 80 mph. I literally touch the gas pedal and I get great response. So Zoom- zoom is real, beware. Keep it at or around posted speed. Speaking of Speed, I cant imagine dealing the Speed option with 260 hp, hello speeding tickets. Speed too fast unless your dealing with open highway.

  Perfect Sports Sedan - 2007 Mazda Mazda3
  By Jessi - December 13 - 4:33 pm

  I absolutely love this car. I was ready to buy the 07 Honda Civic (Ive always owned Hondas) until I walked into the Mazda dealership and saw this car. Its exterior design makes this car look like it should be priced much higher than it is. It has a lot of get up and go to it and handles beautifully. The interior is just as nice and has many great features. Very fun to drive and comfortable behind the wheel.

  Great car - 2007 Mazda Mazda3
  By Debi Hilton - December 2 - 8:13 am

  I have just purchased this fantastic vehicle. I love to drive and I didnt think Id ever trade in my 02 Jetta 1.8t. Who would ever think I would ever get rid of it, just because of the way it handled. But needless to say the Mazda3 surpasses the Jetta. Keep up the good work. One thing I would like it to have would be heated mirrors, and power front seats. I have the grand touring sedan.

  Mazda3 - 2007 Mazda Mazda3
  By James - November 3 - 11:03 pm

  Only had this car for around two weeks, but so far its a blast to drive. A lot of oomph in the first three gears, but looses some of it in 4th and 5th, but you dont really need it then. Handles great, fairly smooth ride, even for Michigan roads. The mileage seems to be pretty good, though Ive only checked it once (only filled up once). I got around 30mpg with a mix of freeway, highway, and a little city. All in all a great car.

  Not My First and Certainly Not My Last Mazda - 2007 Mazda Mazda3
  By boatracer - November 3 - 4:15 pm

  I simply love me 07 Mazda 3S Touring Hatchback. Ive had it since new and currently have nearly 65K miles on the odometer. This little car has been trouble free. It still performs like the day I bought it. It is incredibly practical and while not a station wagon, it does splendid duty for hauling gardening stuff, boat parts and even lumber (if you use the sunroof) Im one of those people who service their car regularly - even moreso than Mazda suggests. Right now Im trying to figure out if I want a new Skyactiv 3i or keep my 07 just to see how long it lasts. Im a Mazda enthusiast (7 so far)

  My Mazda3 - 2007 Mazda Mazda3
  By No - October 28 - 6:30 pm

  I purchased the Mazda3 after reviewing the Civic and other similiar cars. Overall I considered the price, style and gas mileage. I drove the Speed and 5 Door Grand Touring 2.3 hatchback and chose the Mazda 2.3 Grand Touring due to price considerations. The car is great, I really like it and I have the Bose System with sunroof. However, after four months I think I should have gotten the Speed. Clutch is good, better with a shorter throw. Last note: Im getting 27.3 mpg and traveling 80 mph on the freeway for a about 80 miles a day.

  Fun sporty fuel efficient and reliable - 2007 Mazda Mazda3
  By 89lx5o - October 23 - 8:03 pm

  Ive now owned this car for two years now and its been phenomenal. Its very fun to drive with a sporty suspension, pretty powerful motor and very smooth trans. To top that off I get 28 mpg in the summer and 26 mpg in the winter the reason comes with the different gas formulas. I have not had ONE reliability issue yet (knock on wood). It has very comfortable seats, but is definitely not a luxury car. It has a decent amount of road noise, and is a lil harsh on bumps. When you get nice roads to drive on road noise is a lot lower and the handling aspects of this car come out. If you’re willing to sacrifice a smooth ride for some sporty handling I would recommend this car to anyone!

  Love the Mazda3 GT - 2007 Mazda Mazda3
  By Dean in Dallas - October 8 - 11:13 pm

  I have had the 2007 Mazda3 for 9 months now and I really like it. It has acceleration, is nimble, and is very fun to drive. I got most of the options including xenon lights, sunroof, compass in the mirror, leather, on board computer. Basically I got this car with all the options youd find in a BMW. I have owned two BMWs in my life and believe it or not, this Mazda3 is as much fun to drive as those BMWs.
