For the price, you get a car that's fun and engaging to drive, with some great features, good fuel mileage, and so far perfect reliability. If you enjoy driving, there are few other FWD cars that're as enjoyable to drive. Even if you're only in need of a basic commuter car, the Mazda3 is still quite comfortable and has everything you'll want in this category.

Pros

Ride and Handling: Rides fairly comfortably while still being very agile and responsive to driver's inputs. A couple other economy cars may be slightly more comfortable, but I feel reassured by how responsive the car is to steering input and just how well it can handle tight corners.
Reliability: So far, absolutely no reliability issues even after having driven it extremely hard through curvy, uphill mountain roads. The motor and transmission are very responsible and never seem to tire.
Fuel Economy: At 70 MPH on the freeway, I typically get high 30s in MPG, even with the larger 2.5L motor. In the city I tend to get mid-20s, but other drivers without a lead foot would probably get better mileage.

Cons

Cargo Space: Trunk space in the sedan is a little bit limited, but not unreasonably so for a compact car. A hatchback would provide more versatility.
Technology and Entertainment: The infotainment doesn't come with Android Auto or Apple Carplay from the factory, but can be upgraded by Mazda dealerships at a cost. Otherwise works just fine and I appreciate being able to use it with physical controls exclusively.
Interior Space: Plenty of space for driver and front passenger, though it's a little bit limited for rear passengers. If you have children or only rarely transport larger adults though, you'll be just fine.

The 3 is a joy to drive. It goes where you point it, and it handles like a dream. It has a decent amount of get up and go, and the manual is particularly fun to drive.
