Mazda MAZDA3

Asked by Damalaies Jun 16, 2017 at 02:15 PM

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I'm looking for my first car and was wondering if the
Mazda MAZDA3 is good for starters. I was also
wondering how often might it break down or have
to bring it into the shop for something. Unless it
depends on how well you take care of the car? I'm
hearing 50/50 good and bad about the car and I
want professional input.

The Mazda is not a bad choice but if you are buying a used car, you need to have it checked out by a good mechanic before the purchase. Buy a low mile car since you are concerned about reliability. Take good care of it and it should last a long time.
