6 year warranty with 3 years of free services and road side assist. Adam Zhang is helpful and provid

published

Mazda 3 is a very common vehicle and I decided to buy this car purely because of the Mday offers as well as the extra offers from AMR Adam Zhang.
I paid deposit in August 11 and picked up late August. Easy to control and low fuel consumption as well as the blind spot monitoring and emergency stop is the key features that I chose Mazda 3. Model Touring with tinted window.

Mazda SP25 - Great car with Terrible Sat nav

published

This car is a great for getting from A to B. The Skyactive technology is the best thing about this car. It allows the car to be fuel efficient without compromising power ($50-$60 aud fuel can get me 650-700km at our current fuel price of $1.40 per litre).

The only downside is the satellite navigation. I am having issues with the Satnav resetting itself. It is quite frustrating...especially when i am relying on the GPS.

What a fantastic car

published

The 2.5 litre engine combined with the 6 speed automatic, sunroof, 18 inch alloys, 4 wheel disc brakes, BOSE surround sound speakers with a graphic equalizer makes this a very comfortable car to drive and spend time within. The only issue that I could fault this car is the "ISTOP" feature. This turns the engine off when you are sitting at traffic lights or stopped in traffic, to save you fuel apparently ? I just find it very annoying and a bit disconcerting, so EVERY time I get in the car I have to switch it OFF.
That said great car, saved a lot by buying a 2017 model.

Luv My Car

published

Bought June 2016 from Mazda Medlow Bath Dealership ... Staff are great, Owners very good to deal with, the Service Team in Katoomba are good ... all round a great experience owning my first Mazda 3 Maxx ... would say that I would keep buying Mazda's for realiability, fuel economy, great driving and comfort (even on long journeys). The only thing that I would hesitate on rating 5 star is the "ambient" noise when driving long distance on a highway.

Great product, just what I wanted

published

Only brand new, loved the whole experience of buying a new car. My previous vehicle was a Mazda 3, hard to get away from them once you have owned one. This car is very economical and smooth to drive. The toggle button located on the console is very easy to use. Very handy the keyless entry and push button start. Great range of colours to choose from that look very stylish. Definitely would recommend this car to anyone looking.

Great valued car

published

Driving as much smoother than my 2012 mazda 3 neo.
Interior design is simple, clean, and luxury.

Car was bought through a dealership with metallic red and car mats included. Price paid approx $23.5k

Petrol cost is not as efficient as other cars but is average.

Sound system is amazing as always and there's a lot of leg room for all passengers including the driver.

Great car

published

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.

Great value

published

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.

LOVE my Mazda 3

published

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.

Great small car

published

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

A great economical car

published

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.

Good for vaue, recommend for daily drive

published

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.
