Its a great car overall that is far better tea I expected. I compared it to a friends Honda Civic and he was jealous of my vehicle. I truly do love the performance, style and handling.

Have never been anything but satisfied with any Mazda Ive owned and this vehicle was no exception.Sleek,peppy,affordable,and reliable transportation with no mechanical issues.
Back Seats
Ranked 2014 Nissan Sentra better.
"Minimal difference,more personal preference than anything else."
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 Hatchback Review
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 Sport Review
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 Hatchback Review
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. |

Own it and love it. Fun to drive and very fuel efficient. I was swayed away from Honda after owning several to the new Mazda lines ups and philosophy of driving and function.
Front Seats
Ranked 2014 Honda Civic worse.
"More comfortable then I found the Civics to be. I am a small guy and the seats fit me perfectly."
Cargo Capacity
Ranked 2014 Honda Civic better.
"The trunk space is good. I have the hatchback Mazda which seems to have less room then a trunk."
Family Car
Ranked 2014 Honda Civic better.
"Better windows I the back and a little more space, but not much." |
