You can expect at least 150,000 to 200,000 miles from Your Mazda3 s engine. Depending on use, service, care, maintenance and the integrity of the parts, the car can easily surpass 250,000 to 300,000 miles. Mazda is known for building robust engines and many users have reported that their Mazda3 s have over 200,000 miles on them with little to no changes. Apart from routine oil and filter changing, very few users have reported engine failure or even serious issues with things like transmission. The only real downside to the Mazda3 appears to be the digital interface. Some users experienced problems and needed to replace their computers. Other than that, the car is built for longevity and will easily give You at least 150,000 to 200,000 miles.
I am still driving a 2005 and getting 28 mpg. It currently has 374k on original unopened engine and transmission.

2004 Mazda 3 manual transmission 175k miles on an unopened trans and engine. Keep the maintenance schedule and it will be your friend for a long time. Love that it’s a car with simple features...before dashes got tech heavy...and distracting. Perhaps I will be able to pass it onto my daughter 13 years from now, haha!

My Mazda 3 is at 250000 miles I’ve had it for five years. Honestly I haven’t had maintenance on it in two years. I know Iknow dangerous. But I say that to say the only issue I have is my bearings, and axels I also have to get a new tire probably every half year bc of the bearings and axel. They’re great cars, so I can imagine if they are kept up they can make it to more miles than 300k possibly

My 2006 Mazda 3 has 347,000 miles. I did have to replace the clutch within the last year and fan motor a month or so ago. Other than that, no real issues, but I'm persistent with the routine maintenance...every 3,000 miles!!
I have a 2004 Mazda3 been driving it for over 3 years now with no problems besides the air bag little sometimes staying on for a bit. My car has now 269;000 miles on it and still running great. Best car I'veever owned.

Mazda (65) 3 2.2 150 Sport Nav with all the extras.... Cannot fault the workmanship ,of this fabulous car after 120k... Servicing every 12.5k is a small price to pay, for a great drive.

Hi guys&girls, does anyone know how come my mazda 3 2014 maxx sport that I just bought n crashed 2 weeks later has a different control unit screen cause this one was touch screen and now I just bought a mazda 3 2014sp25 but the screen is not touch screen why is that? And 1 more question i got this car at high kms like 190km what was weird is that when I pull out the oil stick to check the oil its look fine no water inside but the oil is like more then half way up the stick is that bad should I get a full service and the car runs great but I'm just worried something might be wrong since it's high kms and when I start the car the rev just under 2000rpm??need advise thanks
My 2014 manual transmission Mazda 3 has 281,000 miles and counting. The heat just stopped working so have to figure that out. Other than that definitely want to keep it running at least another 100,000 miles

2010 Mazda 3 that is at 195,000 miles and knock on wood only the brakes (Front twice, rear once), rotors, calipers (fronts only), and battery (twice) have been replaced aside from the tires. The passenger side quarter panel has been replaced more LOL. People love to hit that specific spot for some reason, and their insurance has covered it.

My 2006 Mazda 3 Hatch made it to 500,000 kms before the catalytic converter & exhaust manifold went. It was the little engine that could that took me across Canada and back again many times with no issues.

My 2006 Mazda 3 Hatch made it to half a million kilometers before the catalytic converter finally went. It was the little engine that could on so many levels.

I own a 2008 Mazda 3 with 186000km. Other than doing basic maintenance like changing the tires and following the maintenance schedule for the suspension, brakes and oil/fluids, there haven't been any issues. It still runs like brand new. It's a well built car and made to last.

At 135,000 miles and 6 years from the dealer, my Mazda 3 transmission blew up going 20 mph. It cost me 3000 to rebuild it. I'm hoping for the best but planning for the worst
