2012 Mazda 3 with 1200 miles on it now.Source: Edmunds...I love this car. I upgraded from a 2004 Passat. The SKYACTIV-G engine truly performs. I've been getting a combined 34.8 mpg with mostly city driving but with a few long distance bouts. On my distance trips, I've been getting 40-44 mpg at around 70 mph. I generally drive like a grandpa but it's difficult NOT to accelerate quickly in this car! The seats are not nearly as bad as what other people say. I'm 6'0 and they fit me rather well. As for the complaints about the interior controls, I find them rather intuitive. In regards to weird noises from the engine, I haven't heard anything... |

2012 Mazda3 sedan Grand Touring Skyactiv automaticSource: Cars.com...The ride is firm, planted, and controlled, but comfortable. Going into curves is a lot of fun as you don't really have to slow down. The leather seats, which are heated, are very nice. Still need to figure out how to operate the navigation system. The Bose sound system sounds great with the Sirius satellite radio. There's a neat feature on the power exterior mirrors, which lets you know if there's a car in your blind spot. So far it's been a joy to drive... I can't think of a single complaint. For the money, we sure got a lot. Love this car!"... |

Best buy in my lifetimeSource: Cars.com...The a/c will freeze you out. The seats are comfortable. The road noise is a bit much over 75 mph. I drive 50 miles to work at 57 mph (my choice) and last tank 6/30/2011, got 39 mpg. I have had to change pads and brake calipers in the front pads in the rear. Gone through a couple of belts. At 215,000 miles now it uses about a quart of 10W40 Amsoil between changes (every 10,000 miles). I have never gotten this much value from any vehicle of any type since I started driving in 1971. If you find one in good working order, BUY IT. My $500 Mazda 323 gets better fuel economy than the $35,000 hybrids... |

My Fourth Mazda and the Best Yet!Source: Edmunds

First Mazda and loving it!Source: Edmunds
...I have always been a Truck and SUV type guy. Well with the cost of fuel and a hour commute every day to work I had to get rid of the jeep and get a car. |
