New Mazda MAZDA3 for Sale near Independence, KS
The Mazda 3 brings style and athleticism to an otherwise boring class.
Compact sedans are some of the most affordable vehicles today, which often leads to cheaper interiors, disappointing performance, and uninspired styling. The 2026 Mazda 3 bucks that trend with a cabin that could easily be mistaken for entry-level luxury fare, a spirited driving experience, and head-turning style. The current-generation Mazda 3 debuted as a 2019 model, but despite its age few updates are expected for 2026.
Verdict: The Mazda 3 proves that small cars don’t have to be boring.

What people say
I love all of the new features this car has, compared to my 2019 Mazda 3 Select. It’s a lot more updated than I expected! I think the value of this car is very good. The only thing I would say this car is missing are, better speakers/sound adjustment settings. The older more basic version had it, but this new one doesn’t, which is odd to me. But overall, I love the car so far and it is worth the value.
Car is very good. Radio Infotainment? is awkward and inconvenient.
Drives great, looks great, and feels great. The car for the year it is was great value.
