Love this car because of great look, good performance and and interior.

All boxes tick except the colour quality. The colour coating is unbelievably thin and a miner stone chip can expose the White primer...........:(

I think for $30k Mazda, the can afford better paint work.I won’t buy another Mazda

Seems like a reliable car, no issues in first six months other than the navigation acting a bit wierd in the first two months. This seems to have resolved itself without us updating the navigation system. Smooth drive, looks classy and exemplifies the futuristic outward look of Mazda. Interior feels good, driving performance is good. Skyactiv and early warning systems can take a while to get used to. Almost makes you want to explore tuning parts and weight reduction, even though this is probably a futile exercise. Sports mode is fun but seems to cause too much heat and as it's a new car, I avoid this. However, it is there to get a taste of further performance.

Lovely car, easy to drive. Lots of leg room in back seat and huge boot making it perfect for a family of four. Very fuel efficient and I love the added safety features such as reverse camera and side overtaking alerts. The new look dash with dials instead of buttons is much more my style and easy to navigate.

Mazda 3 driving performance is great specially for a beginner . I love everything about it specially the interior. The design on how it's built is very fashionable. Luxurious looking and tough car.it is very good in fuel . It is so smooth to drive. I love my new Mazda

I absolutely love my mazda 3 it is such a reliable car. I have never had a problem with it as a car. Mines a 6 gear manual and it zooms. Its so spacious for such a little car and its ny far the best car ive owned. The only problem i dont like is the dash. I use a sun viser but the dash still melts from the heatt and has gone all sticky. Other than that i give this car a 10/10.

Guys please be careful if you buy the manual Mazda SP25 Astina, I got a brand new one last year and I was not happy with the transmission. Changing gears NOT smooth as a new car should be. To make matters worse, on the 3rd gear, the shifter vibrates heavily when I accelerate and you can hear the vibration which ruins the whole driving experience. Mazda confirms this is normal. I will get something in writing from them soon telling me this is normal, but they have confirmed on the phone that this vibration is normal for this car. Had I known this before buying the car I would have though twice as even though Mazda says this is normal, I do not have confidence in their answer.

Car handles and drives perfect. Smooth and very quiet while running.
Disliked the Excelerator at the beginning as it comes up from the floor but once you keep driving you get used to it. Leg room is great in the front and back
Running costs are excellent. Could use a bigger fuel tank.

We have a hatch Sp-25 and it drives great, easy controls great additional functions for safer driving... Having a family of 6 it's a great car. Prefer the sedan shape but for practicality the hatch is better. My parent's are middle aged and dad is very much FOR practicality over looks.

Recommend this car highly (SO FAR), no complications as yet.

Love it. Great size for a single old lady. Room for shopping And occasionally grandchildren. The interior is great and I love the GPS, Bluetooth and phone options. I drive a lot so couldn't manage without the GPS and have recently discovered podcasts it is great that the cars options make that easy. It is my fifth Mazda!!!

Really smoothie drive and excellent fuel economy.
Only comparable car would be Hyundai i30 SR and it is more expensive.
Highly recommend - quite responsive and has excellent media features, great speakers and really good attention to detail on the interior.
Would definitely buy another one when this one eventually dies.

excellent car I like just about everything to do with my Mazda 3 I find it very comfortable to drive so there is not any faults that I know of very economically to run as yet I have not had a chance to go country with my Mazda but will soon be able to get away for that trial on the petrol etc.

I love the new design and it's really catch my eye, with the price that is adorable and not over changing just like other cars. If it can connect to apple iPhone then that would be even better. The engine is very powerful when carrying 4 passages it still goes very smooth. Looking to see what is the new invention that make me trade in.

I have been using this car for 2 months now, and i think is a nice car with affordable price. It has really good handling and security system. The seats also quite comfy.
And I really like the appearance of its both interior and exterior. The only downside probably the engine noise which is quite noticeable, but i dont really mind.
Overall is a good car. Excellent.

Great car! One of the best looking small/medium cars in the market now. The car has good power and is very fuel efficient for the size of the engine. My only issues are that I find the istop function annoying because the starting of the engine after it is cut once you stop is very noticeable. I also find the cabin noise a little loud compared to other cars.

Spacious, really comfortable seats
Quite smooth and not noisy but the istop function takes a bit of time to get used to
Only complaint would be the frame at the front window has blind spots, this is similar to a 2012 model that I bought

Otherwise I'm happy with it
