Why it stands out
The 2018 Mazda MAZDA3 distinguishes itself as a top contender in the compact car segment, blending style, performance, and practicality into a well-rounded package. This model boasts an enjoyable driving experience since each iteration of the Mazda3 has been engineered to ensure driver engagement. With options for a sedan or hatchback body style, it caters to various preferences, making it appealing to a wide range of buyers. Owners consistently highlight its sporty handling and high-quality interior, which feels far more upscale than its price point suggests.

The features are very nice..for the trim level it would of been great with cooling seats and heated steering wheel..I would compare it to nicely equipped corolla, civic. The sport suspension is very stiff so if you want a car that rides smooth I wouldn't get a Mazda 3..may consider the Mazda 6

Fabulous car . . . lots of features make it a value for money pick. And not just features: its style and stance on the road is impressive - handles well and is a solid all around vehicle. Beyond that, it is SAFE. This 2018 Mazda 3 is a replacement for my PREVIOUS 2018 Mazda 3, which was totaled shortly after purchase when a guy ran a red light and plowed into me. Car was destroyed . . . I literally walked away unscathed. The car protected me from serious injury (or worse). It was only natural to try to replace our 2018 Mazda 3 with ANOTHER 2018 Mazda 3, and we were fortunate enough to be able to do that. Cannot say enough good things about this amazing vehicle.

I love this Mazda! Im giving it a 4, though, as the USBs are underpowered so they barely charge the phone, which is true of all these year Mazdas, nor does it have GPS navigation. There is an upgrade package which bumps up the USB power and adds support for Android Auto and Apple Car fur around $500. Id give this car a 5 if they had that as standard.
