2016 Mazda Mazda3 Customer Reviews

Pros

• Cabin Noise

  MUCH quieter than the 2007 Ford Focus I'd driven for thirteen years.

• Fuel Economy

  I wanted a car that gets 40 mpg highway, and this one has done that in several long trips.

• Ride and Handling

  Nothing radical about driving it. It handles well and the ride is smooth.

Cons

• Interior Space

  Roof is a little low, and I'm kind of long-waisted, so I have to be careful getting in not to give myself a concussion.

• Cargo Space

  I can't fit my guitar in the space inside the hatch.

• Technology and Entertainment

  The main screen on the dashboard controls the radio and can display GPS, fuel economy, etc. A few times, the radio controls have taken on a mind of their own and made it impossible for me to tune to the station I wanted to listen to.

Pros

• Cargo Space

  personally I love having lots of cargo space, to carry stuff to go hiking, to the beach, etc. This one fits perfectly for my needs

• Fuel Economy

  Much better on gas than my previous car, easier on my wallet

• Cabin Noise

  The cabin is a little noisier than I expected it to be, but this a minor con

• Cargo Space

  the cargo space in the rear is not very deep. I'm really not impressed with it.

  With a rear-facing car seat installed in the rear passenger seat, you can't even sit in the front passenger seat if you're taller than maybe 5'6". I can't even get into the car if there's one in the rear driver seat.

• Visibility

  The C-pillars are really wide and make it hard to see behind you.
