We purchased a brand new Mazda last year and it's been my favourite car by far. It's zippy, quick and very nice to drive. Downfall would be the seats are a little narrower than our Toyota. Boot is small too. Couldn't get the Leather option in the Maxx which was disappointing. Otherwise, I love it!

2L engine so it feels on par with my old Mazda 3 2012 neo.

Interior design is highly rated but the screen cannot be adjusted and is fixed on top of the dashboard which is a negative.

Sound system is really good and car is comfortable to drive.

Fuel is poor. Not much kms compared to other motor vehicles.

It's nice. It was a good deal. Car is good and worked nicely till now. Driving is excellent. It was a value for money buy. Great value for the product they provided. Hope all other companies also do the same. Great going by the company. Nice. Superb. Woow. Thanks for the car Mazda.

Performance wise, the handling feels tight, very responsive - some might feel like the steering doesn't feel nice to drive in comparison to luxury cars but you get what you pay for. Not too noisy and the 2.5L is definitely recommended if you travel a bit more than the average person due to it being easier to overtake on highways, etc

Interior is average but for the price it does feel like you get a bit more for what you pay for. It's comfortable for 4 average sized people and the fuel economy is good for a 2.5L engine.

Nice Family Car for small and medium sized families. Fulfills basic city needs. Decent interiors and comfortable seating. The touch screen hangs at time and is not to standards of other parts. Car's performance and fuel consumption are decent. Though on hilly terrains performance is not that great, Speaker and music systems are good

I purchased a Mazda 3 about six months ago. It’s great value. Mazda gives customers a lot bonus features (such as blind spot light, I-stop et. al). One thing I don’t like much is interior. Seating material or door design I don’t like much. Overall, I’m happy with my new car.

Mazda Car is the best car on the market. You can get all the latest smart features, new technologies and best performance in this car which normally you can find only in the very expensive car models from BMW, AUDI etc.
Very smooth driving, no noise, good performance and very stylish interior & exterior also. Yearly once servicing required.

I love how well this car drives - it feels so nice to drive because the handling, steering and performance is just what I want and very well suited to Australian conditions. The seats are comfortable, the speaker system has great sound quality and it is very fuel efficient! I love the look of the car both inside and out and I'm very happy with the colour of my car. The treatment I have been receiving from the Mazda dealership has also been faultless, I'm very happy with their customer service.

When I bought the car I wanted something small and sporty, reasonable price, but room for 2 kids (there goes the 86/brz I so wanted).
My compromise was a mazda 3 BN SP25. No regrets so far. It is a great car, good handling through the hills, smart leather interior which wipes down well when the kids have incidents (I do love them really)
Economy is good for a 2.5litre. Im sure the 2 litre would be better but I wanted the power, and 140+kw out of a small cheap car is impressive.
I love the manual, but on the downside wasn't all that impressed when I test drove the auto with the padal shift, as there was quite a bit of lag between changes. Anyhoo I didnt get an auto and I am very happy

Purchased this during a plate clearance and have not looked back. Absolutely love the way the car looks and drives. I particularly enjoy the safety features the car offers such as rear cross traffic alerts and the blind spot monitoring. The fuel economy is also a huge plus and I definitely notice a difference between this and my old car.

Mazda builds great cars! I just purchased a new 2015 Mazda 3 GT in Jet Black Mica and it is really beautiful. This is the first car where I have tried "sport" mode and it was awesome. I really was able to drive the car more aggressively and it put a smile on my face. The 2.5L engine and transmission are very smooth and responsive. I love the feel of the leather wrapped steering wheel and this car really corners on rails. The car feels premium and has a firm but really nice ride. I also love to turn back and look at the car when I park it, it makes me feel all happy inside. Take a test drive, it is a really nice car if you want something sporty.

The Mazda 3 SP25 GT has many refined features from previous models, the car has a powerful engine, about a 130 kilowatt powered engine. The Bose speakers are a sensation for the music fanatics and the aircon is amazing, climate control with a strong gust of cool air. Heated seats are great use for winter, other features include istop, built in voice control, navigation and analytics from the car itself.

Wow. The Mazda 3 Maxx is an excellent all round performance and value. Mainly the car is the cheapest on the market, and the quality in my opinion tops everything else. The sleek 'Kodi' looks suit the cars sporty style and handling. No excessive road noise. The running costs are minimal and the istop engine reduces full consumption

I have driven a few different cars before deciding on the Mazda 3 for my first car. The new model looks beautiful. The engine runs smoothly, not making loud noises. It's a small car but very spacious. It's very comfortable to drive and fuel efficient too, long distance driving can get as low as 4L/100km while metro driving with lots of acceleration/deceleration (0-70 km/h) is about 8L/100km. Highly recommended!

Recently purchased Oct'17 build and very impressed. Handling is great with light steering but not too light. Interior is feels "right", ergonomically I feel buttons and switches are in the correct position. Lot to learn in the Astina but will get there. The HUD is really good and I have found to be very useful. Can't comment on running costs as yet but my gut feel is it's going to be pretty good. Dealer was very helpful during the purchase process as well.

Car is very smooth to drive. Good performance and steering
Good legroom and car space
Very reliable, easy to maintain
Electronic system makes life much easier and convenienet
As all other mazdas, it has problems with noise - regards to background noise, poor ability to filter outside noise and can seem loud at times.

Got the 2.5L engine with the SP25 GT trim and this provides a little more pep in its step.The noise is a minor problem as Mazda have not quite perfected their sound insulation from the engine. Handling is great with their new vectoring technology. Fuel economy for the sedan is about 6.5L/100km in my personal experience driving city. Many included features in the SP25 GT trim include heads up display, reverse cameras, blind spot indicators and others which all improve the driving convenience.

I really enjoy driving this car. Performance from 2.5 litre engine is perfect and handles really well. Economical for a large engine. Really hate the fact that Mazda refuses to provide an update to MZD connect for Android auto and Apple play. Running costs are reasonable, service costs Could be lower

Purchased this car in July 2017 and I absolutely love it. I love all the modern features that come with the car and find it beautiful and smooth to drive. This has been an absolutely fantastic car so far and I would recommend it to anybody looking to buy a new car.
