Value
Ranked 2014 Nissan Sentra worse.
"Quality first and foremost.Followed closely by Reliability.Who wants to purchase a new vehicle and start encountering problems within 6 months due to poor design and subpar assembly techniques?.....NOT me,Especially when all you get from the manufacturer is Too Bad,So Sad,despite their never ending empty rhetoric of what a valued customer you are." |

2014 Mazda MAZDA3 i Sport HatchbackReview
Great Car, Fun To Drive, Excellent Fuel Economy — I wish I had gotten the next model up with rear view camera and fog lights. The light colored seat fabric shows stains easily. Wishing for leather too. All wheel drive would be nice but it would be more expensive and cost mileage to suffer. Primary Use: Commuting to work Pros: The 3 is a great practical economy car with sporty styling, great quality, and fun driving experience. I bought a manual which is a bit more fun to drive. Fuel average overall has been over 36. We did get well over 40 on a couple of highway trips.
Cons:
It's an economy car so it's tough to fit luggage, the kids, and the dogs. |

2014 Mazda MAZDA3 i SportReview
Cool, Fun And Utilitiarian But Pricy — The car simply looks fantastic from every angle. It also drives very smooth. Great suspension and chassis that provides a lot of road-hugging confidence at high speeds. It gives you the confidence that many family sedans fail to give. The car lacks a tack in the base model which is a shame as I can't think of any other car makers that don't put in a tach as standard equipment. but it's not a big issue at least IMHO. The car is peppy as long as you're willing to rev it over 3500 rpm but very little low end torque. It takes getting used to but once you do it is very rewarding. It provides very good - though not best in class - interior space for passengers and for luggage. Overall I love my car despite having a couple forgiveable flaws: no tach, a little noisy, and pricey for a compact.
Pros:
Fun to drive. The engine loves to rev and is fun to thrash around town or on twisty roads.
Cons:
Noisy on the highway. |

2014 Mazda MAZDA3 i Touring HatchbackReview
Great Car To Drive, But Terrible Communication/gps System — This car is so much fun to drive! It's peppy, takes curves great and is very responsive. It feels like a heavy car (in a good way). The front cloth interior seats are handsome and pretty comfortable (not luxurious). People who have ridden in the back say it's pretty comfortable, as well. There's very little storage. There's a cupholder on each of the doors. It's big enough for a cup or a small umbrella, not much else. Even where there's room for a tad more storage, it isn't there. For example, there's a pocket on the back of the passenger seat, but not on the driver's. Come on, Mazda!
Pros:
This car is fun to drive!
Cons:
The built-in communications/gps system is cumbersome and non-intuitive to use. You can't do anything directly--every function requires a few steps. Very irritating. Should be so much better. I just noticed that there are white streaks on the screen. I thought they were just smudges and wiped my finger over them, but it did nothing. the streaks are not on the surface. Trying to find out why they're there. |

2014 Mazda MAZDA3 s Grand Touring Review
CarGurus
https://www.cargurus.com
I have never driven a small sedan that is so much fun to drive! The 2.5L engine was the only option for me. I wanted some extra power and I got it!! This car is worth every penny I paid for it plus more. It got 39mpg on the highway on average. The sport mode button gives me more power and every second of it is amazing! The heads up display is a plus and so is the regenerative braking. Every single part of the interior of this car looks luxury and premium, Mazda did a great job thinking of their consumers. There was hardly any plastic at all and almost everything was Leather, aluminum or Carbon Fiber. The Mazda3 s Grand Touring is the most fun car I have ever had. vs2014 Chevrolet Cruze Diesel Sedan FWD
2014 Mazda MAZDA3 s Grand Touring winning categories:
Power
Ranked 2014 Chevrolet Cruze Diesel Sedan FWD worse.
"The sport mode gave the option of more power, the slightly bigger engine gave it more power as well. Torque on the other hand, belongs to the diesel, obviously. You cant match the torque a diesel gets with a naturally aspirated engine. "
Looks/Style
Ranked 2014 Chevrolet Cruze Diesel Sedan FWD worse.
"The clean lines and lack of plastic and cheap material usage. The Mazda3 came equipped with the bi-xenon headlights and daytime running LEDs. It looks premium without costing a whole lot. The interior especially belongs to the Mazda. Nothing the Cruze has inside can compare to the interior of the Mazda. I didnt see or feel any plastic in the Mazda, the Cruze on the other hand, had lots. "
Front Seats
Ranked 2014 Chevrolet Cruze Diesel Sedan FWD worse.
"The real leather seats and the lumbar support in the Mazda was much better and far more comfortable. The leg room was way better as well. Im 6 tall and I had plenty of room in the front seats of the Mazda3."
Back Seats
Ranked 2014 Chevrolet Cruze Diesel Sedan FWD worse.
"The real leather in the Grand Touring model was more comfortable than that of the leatherette in the Cruze."
Cargo Capacity
Ranked 2014 Chevrolet Cruze Diesel Sedan FWD better.
"I felt that the trunk of the Cruze was slightly larger, but, the Mazda has a spare tire under the trunk, whereas the Cruze, has Fix-a-Flat. "
Family Car
Ranked 2014 Chevrolet Cruze Diesel Sedan FWD worse.
"The premium feeling of the Mazda along with the residual value, comfort, efficiency, and reliability makes this car a better family car. "
Value
Ranked 2014 Chevrolet Cruze Diesel Sedan FWD worse.
"The resale value for sure makes the Mazda a much better option. Over the coarse of 2 years the Cruze diesel lost a total of $19,000....The Mazda, $9,000."
Would Buy
Ranked 2014 Chevrolet Cruze Diesel Sedan FWD worse.
"The Mazda is more comfortable, more sporty, and has a much more premium feel for the price. It was cheaper overall than the Cruze and it is an amazing car to drive. Ive never wanted to stay in a car so much. I actually volunteer to drive and look forward to long trips in the comfortable Mazda3." |
