Have our Mazda 3 Neo automatic for over 8 years with 110k. Mostly city driving but have done between Melbourne to Sydney. Never missed a beat and only replaced consumables. Would recommend.

I use my Mazda to get me from A to B on weekends and mu husband uses it for work during the week so it gets a workout! I love my Mazda 3 - it's just the size for me and I live the hatch back style. The boot is a good size and I like the look of the dashboard and the comfy seats. I wish it had built in sat nav but that will have to be my next car! I get it serviced yearly and I only had one very small oil leak issues once in 5 years.

This is a great car to drive. had this for 11 yrs and never missed a pin. I just love this car. A future car will be from Mazda family of sure.

I bought my Mazda second hand. It has never complained and I have had no issues with it. Mazda has always been helpful when needed. Except they will charge you 70 dollars just to open your bonnet so be careful! Overall amazing car and not a bad word to say

Bought a 2nd hand 2011 Mazda 3 BL series in 2014 and has been a reliable and safe car that has minimal issues so far. Car was bought at a bargain price way below market price. Servicing as been much cheaper than our other car the VW golf. Fuel efficiency is also a positive no problems lasting a week on a full tank.

This car represents an amazing value and has been very reliable. Built quality is amazing with no rattling discernible and handling is very tight. While the engine doesn’t sound desirable and sounds like a lawnmower, you get over that quickly and has enough power for your day to day. The automatic transmission is very silky smooth as well. It should be noted that servicing might be more expensive than competitors as it has 6 month service intervals.

I use my car at least every second day, either to do Local shopping, Visiting friends,Travelling to holiday destinations, and for Transport to the local railway station if I want to go into the city. My car is serviced by Mazda Pakenham and they call me when the service is due. First day I got it, it was "keyed" at the shops and on day three it was "keyed" at Caribbean Gardens market. Tends to be a target for rogue shopping trolleys .... but I can't blame the car for that.

Took our 2012 CX5 in for 110,000 service and was informed that there was a warranty item to be attended to. Apparently some vehicles have had the struts on the tailgate weaken, so all cars with the same batch were having the struts replaced at no cost to the customer. Many thanks Mazda once again.

Excellent car for both city and country driving. Great powerful engine mated to a smooth shifting six speed manual gearbox make it a dream to drive quickly and the 2,5 litre engine makes overtaking a breeze. Handling on twisty roads is excellent as is ride.
The interior is well finished and the seats are very comfortable especially on long trips. The stereo has great sound and the Bluetooth works very well with pairing up of my mobile phone very easy. The satnav screen is too small and the absence of a USB port is noticeable.
Overall the car is a delight to own and drive.

I bought my Mazda 3 Hatch Neo back in 2011 and it was second hand. It is my first car and I absolutely fell in love with it, I have it for about 2.5 years now and it works great! The drive is smooth, fuel consumption, stylish and air con works fantastic.

Though, I think that the price of the vehicle has depreciation a lot since it's first purchase. I bought it at about $18 K but I think the price is now about $15 K range. Overall, I love my car.

Great car with great handling. The gearbox is pretty spot on with finding the right gears, and I love using the flappy paddles. Never had an issue with acceleration or overtaking, even with 4 people in the car! Plenty of power.

Cons: road noise can be mind numbingly bad on some roads at highway speeds. Mine's got the Bose premium stereo but the audio's really average, it's almost a deal breaker for me - It's not loud enough, and it feels like something's missing eg center vocals. The large round knob on the stereo isn't actually the volume control (confusingly). The rearview mirror is too low for me, it gets in the way of my view.

I bought my Mazda 3 second hand and I feel it's the best car I have had. It is very comfortable to drive so no problem with long trips. Its roomy but not too large and has a good size boot! It holds the road nicely and great on fuel.

Would highly recommend any Mazda. This is our second Mazda 3 Sport and it still feels like a new car 5 years on, and it still looks really modern and new. We are now thinking of buying a Mazda BT -50 because the quality so high. Would definitely recommend the leather upgrade.

Has not missed a beat.....I have done 150,000 in the past 7 years and I have done all of the services at home and it’s perfect. I’m a single mum and it’s economical and reliable. Just want to upgrade to get the latest mod cons. Will definitely buy one again ☺️

The drive of this car is so smooth, it is so quite and has never missed a beat since 2011
The interior is neat and easy to clean. Clear readings of the petrol in km and is very cheap on petrol. It is around $40-$55 to fill up and is extremely reliable

Purchased a new mazda 3 BL neo in 2012.
In the 4 years and 120k, the car was faultless. Apart from tyres and services the car required no maintenance.
Downsides are the terrible cabin noise on the highway. On smooth freeway services it isn't a big deal.however on coarse roads it can drive you crazy.

I always wanted to buy Mazda. However, I bought this beast as a second car. Then after, loved this beauty. Fully satisfied. Smooth, good looking and dashing. Never regret buying this model but check all the necessary requirements before hand. For this model, 5 star. Very economical and never had problem upto now.
