Extremely reliable daily car. Does not chug e10 gas. Plenty of room for seats AND trunk space. I personally love the look of the hatchback better than its sedan. Has a slight sports look. Beautiful interior and exterior. Can be beat on and stand strong. Very aftermarket supported. 100/10 would recommend for a first car. The only thing that is worrying is that the rear fender/fender wells tend to rust easily, so if you have lots of snow and salt or gravel and rain, rust could be a potential problem. Deserves more than 5 stars.

I love this car.It was my first purchase on my own and I have no regrets. The car has all I was looking for. It is very affordable and I would reccomend to a friend. No complaints!!

It may look like a fast car, but don't be fooled! It is severly underpowered! Great example of all show and no go.

The Mazda 3s GT gives you more for about 21K than any other car, period. It is a pure pleasure to drive, slow or fast, and the car's looks are aggressive, yet soft so that it appeals to both genders. And man, can it handle! What an amazing suspension system. The car corners like if it were on rails! And the braking is eye-popping! The acceleration is decent, and feels great anywhere above 3000RPM. Definitely zoom zoom worthy! Again, we're only talking about 21K here. As far as comfort and safety goes you can check on the mazda website, since the list never ends. Just know that there are airbags all around the car so that in case of accident you end up envelopped like in a little cocoon. The leather is awesome, with front seat warmers, climate control, computer trip, Bose sound, wheel controls, mp3 player attachment, etc... the list goes on and on. Well, to me it was a no brainer: I bought one! In this segment the Mazda 3s GT has NO competition.

Good performance, great looking interior/exterior, lots of features, reasonable price. Really slick shifter. Fuel economy isn't great for a compact sedan but I'm not complaining. It's all the car I need and nothing I don't. I would absolutely buy it again.
