I really like the car, good rear reviews, GPS, traction, fuel economy is pretty good too! I drive long distances for work and find this car to be quite safe to drive. I don't particularly like Mazda itself, I found the dealers to be really pushy and the customer service overall wasn't all that great. The girl that did all the after sales e.g. tinting was even more pushy and I didn't get a friendly vibe from her.

Great second car for the family
Great steering ( weird to say but first Mazda and I like it )
Plenty of room compared to other hatches and has great safety features (all standard)
Gps is good as is the whole entertainment package
Easy compatibility to use Spotify and synch phone etc
Only thing I don't like is no door lock button
Great car bought from West End Mazda
Great service

A nice family car. A little squishy if you have two kids car seats in the back. Would be good if there were back ducts for aircon. The reverse camera is great and the sat nav also comes in handy when it tells you the correct direction. It's a shame that customer service is lacking with Mazda.

We are in love with our 2016 Mazda3 Sp25 Astina Bm, we've had it for almost a year now and it hasn't skipped a beat. It's fun to drive with all the added extras like sunroof, awesome sound system and adaptive cruise control which makes long road trips a breeze (wouldn't get a car without it now!).

I love my Mazda 3 Touring Hatchback. I've always wanted a red pearl mazda 3 so finally spoilt myself. It's the best money ever spent. I customised the interior with white leather seats and door trims. The car is beautiful to drive and very quiet. The features are current and up to date with voice command actions. It tells you if you're speeding or if there is a red light or speed camera ahead. I could go on and on about it I just Love it. If you are thinking about getting one I recommend it. You will love it to.

Will say that we purchased a 2016 SP25 GT mazda 3 from reynella mazda and the best experience ever.
The sales man (Lea) was not pushy and we fou d him decent, honest and his attitude was to tell us all the attributes about the car and we got the feeling that he did not care if we purchased from him or not. (This is not being negative) After visiting other new dealer yards which all seemed to be pushy and sigh on the dotted line now, we just felt so comfortable with this dealership.
Re the car, it drives so smooth and is so quiet, the safety features are the other selling point of this car.
We test drove the toyota's, i30 hyundai and ford.
So far we are so pleased with ournew purchase.

My car is Mazda 3 SP25 GT. This is the best Japanese car I have ever driven. I replace it with my holden svz and find out that how fuel efficient Mazda is. Highly recommended car for anyone. I am planning to buy a Mazda 6 for my wife soon.

I love my new car, handles like a dream, has the safety pack and has stopped me from having an accident. Great fuel economy. Mazda customer service is excellent. I had hit a bucket on the road at night and I couldn't stop in time, the bucket had bounced on to my bonnet twice and the roof leaving scratches on the car. Mazda said they fix the scratches free of charge.

This is a very responsive car, agile and elegant. Reliable, cheap on fuel, and looks great. I chose the Platinum colour. Wasn't fussed on the red option - too pearly and not a warm tomato red. A bit of blue in it. "Mazzy" is easy to park. Perfect for short runs to the shops but also great on long trips. The seats are very comfortable. I love this car.

This car turns heads, love the shape, the colour options. The interior is very well set out. The seats are very comfortable back and front. The leather feels so luxurious. It drives beautifully. Has great pick up. Great in all weather conditions. Very economical on fuel. Handles extremely well, feels like your driving a luxurious rally car! There isn't one bad thing about this car, it's perfect!

6 speed manual drives smoothly and nicely on the road. Goes well on the freeways and accelerates without trouble.
Interior very comfortable; seats mould nicely to my back support. All controls are easily within reach.
Noisy on certain road surfaces meaning I cannot hear music properly.
Does have a rough idle issue which I am going to discuss at next service.
Love my mazda3!

I've had the previous model before which was excellent, but this is streets ahead. Quiet, good powerful engine, and lots of additional features. The cameras allow excellent rear view when reversing. You can see around corners which is fantastic. Leather seats are better than the last version. More comfortable.
Overall very impressed, I'm assuming it's going to be as reliable as my last Mazda 3 that never broke down in the 8 years I had it.
Highly recommend this car.
