Used 2017 Mazda Mazda3 near me for sale

Get enough power and drives and handles great.

A little small in the back seat for people who are tall.

Only need to spend money on oil and filter changes. Original brakes after driving it for over 110,000 miles!

Gets over 30 mpg city/highway combined.

Elevated cabin noise - especially at highway speeds when compared to newer cars with more insulation.

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.

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.

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.

Trunk space in the sedan is a little bit limited, but not unreasonably so for a compact car. A hatchback would provide more versatility.

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.

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.
