The 2017 Mazda Mazda3 is praised for its reliability, excellent fuel economy, and responsive handling, which enhance driving enjoyment. Customers highlight limitations like cabin noise, compact interior, and cargo space. While some miss modern tech like GPS or Android Auto, the car balances performance and cost-effectiveness well.

Mazda really outdid themselves with the design of the independent rear suspension on the Mazda3. Even though I have the lowest tier package, I still have no trouble finding the fun or comfortability while pushing it. The handling the suspension provides to what looks like a normal traffic sedan is amazing, and although it is just a FWD vehicle, loads of fun.
As someone who has lived in the mountains and on the coast, I can without a doubt say that my Mazda3 can handle anything from Florida's bipolar weather to Virginia's mountain range. I have experienced no issues on road trips throughout various weather incidents, no loss of traction, or concerns with driving.
Unlike many newer generation vehicles that lack physical buttons, Mazda scratched the itch alongside providing a better alternative to maintaining a safe driving situation. The infotainment center knob is one of my favorite features within all newer Mazda products. It isn't in the way of my gearshift, it's easily accessible, and creates a situation where taking your eyes off the road is unnecessary.
Cabin noise is one of the few areas I found lacking in my model. I am not certain if it is the same with higher tier models, but on my Touring I do experience louder road noise. I do feel that I put up with the excess noise simply because the 3 meets and exceeded the rest of my expectations from a newer gen manual.
Get enough power and drives and handles great.
A little small in the back seat for people who are tall.
