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.

For the price of the car it is excellant.All of the features of a bmw or merc.The only downside to the car is still ecsessive tyre noise even on smoother roads.Not a deal breaker but for a major automotive company not as good as it should be considering it is trying to get a bigger market share.I dont expect a dead silent car, but a slight droning on smooth roads is not acceptable.Is it the Tyres?

owned a Mazda back in the 80's . Loved it. Now with the opportunity to buy another new car I knew exactly what I wanted. Mazda 3 MAXX. It is like coming home. Perfect in every way. My only wish is that Mazda would introduce capped servicing and services were not schedule every 10K. Surely with today's technology it should be between 15-20k.

Everything in this car is awesome for the price you pay, gives you all the features you need plus more! All the sensors, reversing camera, stereo, navigation system.
The only bad thing is how bad the paint is and how easy it gets dings! Please fix this Mazda !!!! !!!

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.

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.

I have driven this car now for 12 months and have had it serviced once in this time I have been able to become very confident of the reliably and the servicing that Penfold Motors Burwood have shown. I have owned many cars in my 54 years of driving and had quite a few ordinary ones and must say this experience so far has been one of the best. I would recommend Burwood Mazda to my friends and family any time.

If you're after a smallish car with great handling, a punchy non-turbo engine, a semi-luxury interior, good equipment levels, great looks and good customer service from the dealer, this is pretty much your best bet. Not the best car for back seat passengers and the boot is not the biggest in its class.

Wonderful vehicle. Small on the outside and huge on the inside and still has room for an external boot. Fuel economy is ok. Styling is divine. No sunroof which makes me sad but it does have really intuitive cruise control. Cup holders come as standard. I like this car a lot

Brilliant fuel economy. 5 - 6 litres per 100km.
Great handling, and nice driver surrounds.
Only thing i felt could be better, ( neo edition)
Bluetooth for phone calls is basic. Accept calls via steering wheel, which is fine. But outgoing calls are made from your handset. No touchscreen to work with. But a small issue only.
Great value, only sold due to third child. Comfortable for two kid seats. Three won't fit at all.
Would buy again for sure.

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.
