The car is pretty big and the seats fold down in the back.
The car is pretty old. It is pretty small for a car with 7 seats. The back seats can fold down to make room for objects that can go in the back. It takes up a lot of space because it is a big car. But it does not seem like there's as much room as you would think.

Mazda 3 hatchback is for and active lifestyle!
I own a 2013 Mazda 3 hatchback. It is a great car for a young adult that has an active lifestyle. No main problems with the car, just normal car maintenance. Mazda is a great car company, and I plan on buying a new Mazda in the future. It might be a different model but it will be in the Mazda that is for sure.

I will drive this 2013 Mazda 3 hatchback for a while.
I am happy with the vehicle I am currently driving now. For a hatchback, it more convenient for me because the space inside the car gives me room I want. Miles I get per gallon is above average around 34 miles on the highway. I will still drive this car until it breaks down which I do not any issues yet.

Mazda 3 sport it is a beautiful car to have!
It is really good on gas, the steering on it is pretty stiff, the car headlights do not turn off by themselves, but overall it is a really good car to have, I love the shape of it, it is a nice bluish green type of color, it goes pretty fast, since it is a sport and I love how quiet and smooth the driving is.

Mazda spacious and comfy and dependable.
My car is good on gas. Has a lot of trunk space. And nice all the way around. Rides smooth on long drives also does good in town driving as well updated buttons, controls on steering wheel are very helpful when ur driving you don't have to look down to find buttons like most vehicles.

Good family car. Great on gas!
The Mazda is comfortable for a small family. My husband is 6 foot 3 and fits nicely but when someone is behind him they do not have much room. They gas mileage is amazing and we can drive to California from Nevada without needing to fill up again. The car is very reliable and has been a good car for my family! My daughter car seat was able to fit nicely and the latches help a lot. The trunk is a good size for a smaller car. We are able to got to Costco and stock up. We have owned the car for many years and still love it.

Mazdas are reliable and smooth running, just do not buy rebuilt titles.
Main complaint is that it is too low to the ground. Cannot even put my head under to see anything. Otherwise it is a great car. Quiet, smooth, reliable. We did buy it rebuilt, so we've had a couple problems with the power steering pump. It being a hybrid can be a little annoying. Plus the fuses are screwed in and hard to remove.

Hopping into my black sleek iSport mazda3 is my daily highlight, let’s go!
I have had no issues with my Mazda 3. I grew up in a family with vans that were always in the shop. I have never had a more reliable vehicle. I take care of it. I get regular checkups/oil changes. I love the sporty aspect. Tinted windows. The interior lights at night are red and blue which is fun. It is great on gas. Perfect first car for a young professional just out of school.
Jon K

Mazda3 for me. Good car good quality.
Quick handling and fun to take turns with. The manual option is responsive and fun to drive. 7 years in and my only broken item is a busted sun visor that I replaced. The leather seats have held up well. 65k miles in and clutch is still healthy. Gas mileage is about 31-33 mpg with mixed city and country driving. I do wish that cooled seating was an option, but it is not a luxury car and you cannot have everything right?
Joe C
on May 22, 2021
Great gas mileage with the Skyactiv engine I average around 40 MPG.
It is a great small car, it runs well and feels like a good solid car. Most impressive is the great gas mileage that averages about 40 MPG for me. No complaints at all.
Jennifer C
on May 22, 2021
Great quality vehicle affordable to all.
I love the way the car drives, nice and smooth, the set up on the inside dashboard, I have had no issues was repairs, only regular maintenance (tires and oil changes). The staff at the dealership were exceptional. Definitely buying another Mazda when ready.
Wendy F

2013 Mazda 3 is great reliable economical car that is really fun to drive!
This car has been a dream. I have had no issues and am careful to take care of all the routine maintenance. It is fun to drive and very reliable! It is an automatic and is almost at 100,000 miles but I will drive it until it cannot drive anymore. Would recommend to anyone.
Bailey B
on May 18, 2021
Extremely reliable and functional despite having limited features and comfort.
Problems: suspension is fairly weak and hinders a smooth ride. Very limited sound-proofing. Performance: overall performance is good. Fairly stable. Handles well, not too touchy but not stiff either. Reliability: extremely reliable for both city and highway driving. Comfort: seats could use more lumbar support and cushion. Overall comfort is fair. Features: fairly standard features for a 2013, however, no Bluetooth.
Brian Y
on April 22, 2021
Great car for travelers!
I really enjoy my vehicle. I have not had any problems with it yet. The seats and interior makes it great for long distance driving. However, it may be uncomfortable if there are 3 passengers in the back due to the cabin being a bit smaller than usual. I also like that the vehicle is narrow. It makes parking a lot easier. My only negative feedback is that the I-touring model does not have automatic headlights.
Pedro R
on April 21, 2021
The vehicle has a good color.
I like how easy you can accelerate, how little force it takes to push the gas pedal. It is pretty comfortable and the only problem would be that it tends to have some weird bumping noise in the front of the car once in a while. It is reliable, nevertheless.
Audrey D

Bought mazda3 used-best purchase we made in 2017!
We bought this vehicle used so we were very cautious, but from the test drive we immediately fell in love. The car drove like it was brand new even though it was 5 years old. 2.5 years later and we still absolutely love it. We haven't had any problems with it. The car has been extremely reliable for our family, which is so nice when you have a baby riding in it. The only breakdown we had was the serpentine belt shredded, but that is to be expected on a 7 year old car. I can easily fit a toddler, front facing car seat on one side and an infant seat on the other side of the back seat comfortably. I absolutely love my Mazda 3!
Kris K
on April 13, 2021
Best value that money can buy.
The reliability has been great and the driving experience is simply stunning and fun. The fuel economy and build quality is top notch. It has the most useful of features without offering too many features. Considering the price and the quality, this car simply offers the best value in the market.
Taylor K
on April 12, 2021
I love this mazda3 grand touring!
The car has every comfort that I could want -- comfy and supportive leather seats, navigation, a great sound system, a sunroof. It is comfortable and gets great gas mileage. The air conditioning works very well in the warm Southern California weather. I love this car!

2013 MazdaSpeed 3 short review from 49,000 to 87,000
I purchased a used 2013 Mazda Mazdaspeed3 with 49.5k miles in 2017 and I knew I wanted one well before 2013. It has been a very reliable car stock and even with performance mods after the fact. I get good gas mileage ~19-21 mpg given my commute is all city. And highway ~29-31 mpg is great with cruise control. In 40k miles of ownership I have not have had any major repairs to do. Oil changes are done every 3-4K miles. At 87k miles I finally have to replace one blown strut with coilovers all around. I drive the car hard in the canyons & autocross so that repair does not bother me. Features are great and besides there's only two options available; base or technology package which includes the navigation, Bose, keyless entry & start and proximity sensors when merging or turning on the blinker.
Haley W
on April 2, 2021
Great trunk space, tight for infant car seat.
Great on gas but a little tight on space. After having our baby it has been difficult to fit the car seat comfortably. There is plenty of trunk space for a stroller and groceries so dealing with tight space due to the car seat is worth it. The price is a great value.
charles F
on April 1, 2021
It has a great safety rating and it lives up to this safety rating. It is a quality car at a reasonable price.
It has good styling and it is fun to drive. It is also gas efficient and has very good safety features.
Jill C
on March 31, 2021
Personality of a Mazda 3!
It is pretty reliable. The tire pressure gauge goes on pretty easily. But pretty good on gas mileage. I terror is lovely and travels for long trips as well. I would highly recommend the Mazda 3 to anyone. Unless you have a large family. Then it wouldn’t fit them.
Niki P
on March 31, 2021
Nice blue color, car sensors on the mirror and a moonroof.
This car is very reliable. In the 7 years I have owned it I have only had to perform scheduled maintenance, have the breaks and mass air flow sensor changed and new tires. It has a great Bose sound system and is quite while in operation. Very comfortable and reliable car.
Julia H
on March 30, 2021
My experience with my Mazda.
I am worried about the battery life and the tire pressure. As well as the alternator. So far it has been a little rickety, I have had some problems already with the computer of the car-the gauges were lighting up when they weren't supposed to. Also my tire pressure came on and off-but I think that was my own fault for over filling them.
Bria G
on March 29, 2021
Love the Mazda car family.
I love this car. It is strong and reliable as well as very few issues. I will say that it is kind of small and most likely for a single family or couple. I do not like that there is not a remote start or seat warmers but those can be installed or found in newer models.
Jeremy T
on March 28, 2021
Mazda provides an excellent car at a fair and competitive price.
It has been an extremely reliable vehicle thus far. I have the base model which still has enough features to give everything you need for a daily driver. I haven't had any major problems. One of my only concerns is, I've had multiple belts break in left rear tire and can't figure out if a suspension issue is causing this.
Peter Z
on March 26, 2021
Mazda 3: stylish, reliable, and affordable.
My Mazda 3 has been the best car I have ever owned. It was affordable, it is great on gas, looks great, and runs great. I have just surpassed 70,000 miles and have never had any issues with it. I get around 34 miles to the gallon and only fill up on gas every two weeks. It is a little small on the inside but still comfortable.
Deserie S
on March 23, 2021
My experience with my phoenix Mazda 3.
There are no issues. It is a very safe car. I have had it for almost 7 years with no issues. I don't like that is its black since it gets up to 120 degrees here. Its too small for me and my three dogs now. It also does not have cruise control or Bluetooth.
Joseph B
on March 21, 2021
My vehicle is cheap and reliable.
The vehicle is very good on gas and I love the interior of the vehicle as well. For a 2013 model, I believe that the vehicle is ahead of it is time and cheap when considering the features it comes with. I do have an issue with the power steering however.
Veronica P
on March 19, 2021
Reliable parts with fantastic mileage.
Really good mileage and a decently large gas tank for a small car. Large trunk for a sedan and back seats fold down. Comfortable adjustable seating. No Bluetooth but discreet aux in center console. Powerful air conditioning that carried me through Texas summers.
Rachel W
on March 18, 2021
The only thing that I do not like is that the gas tank is on the passenger side.
My car is good on gas. I get a lot of miles to the gallon. The car brakes easily and the power steering works without issue. It is easy to parallel park and it fits into his tiny spaces. The car does not have any blind spots and I always feel safe. I would buy this car again.
Rachel E
on March 18, 2021
Well made and it shows with regular maintenance.
Our 2013 Mazda 3 (skyactiv) was purchased new and we have had zero mechanical, electrical, drivetrain, emissions or systems issues. After 7 years and nearly 100,000 miles, regular maintenance and upkeep has given us a reliable, economical and sporty little car.
Lauren B
on March 17, 2021
Reliable over many years and many miles.
I have owned my car for almost seven years now, and it has proven to be most reliable. I have been commuting at least 30 mins for work over the past seven years not including other travel for my part time job. I have many miles on my car, but it still rides smooth! I have never had any internal issues with my vehicle. I am surprised at this with the amount of miles and years I have had my car. My husband and I are considering buying a Mazda for our next car.
Gillian G
on March 15, 2021
Great reliable and safe car.
Gets great gas to the mile. Perfect road trip car. Aux and USB are hard to get to while driving. There are blind spots on the drivers side when needing to change lanes. Does hold up to being rear ended. Plenty of trunk space and back seats fold down if needing to put longer items in it.
Jordan R
on March 14, 2021
In my opinion, the car has poor quality.
This car is very compact, so in my opinion it is too small. This car does not have much power. The dashboard area does not stand up well with heat. The adhesive or however it is put together, has came apart. The rear view mirror has messed up from the heat inside the car as well. Not very impressed.
David C
on March 13, 2021
Pretty good car for the price.
My car has been reliable since I bought it. Sometimes the acceleration is a little weird when going from a stop and trying to hit the gas it kind of hogs down at first. The seats are pretty comfortable and everything is still working fine after 5 years of ownership.
Emily T
on March 11, 2021
Mazda 3 - kind of for me, maybe for you.
Love the agility, standard drives well in snow and allows for optimal power control. The seats are comfortable for me being an average size female. The back seats fold down and the car fits a lot of things. The windows are automatic and that is nice. The driver side interior mirror is junkie and broke. The radio control buttons are also junkie and broke. The bumper is plastic and cracked on icy snow. The wipers are ok. The muffler is ok. The back seats are ok. The seatbelts work. The headlights seem to go frequently. The seats are hard to clean. The interior is not easy to vacuum.
Meredith J
on March 8, 2021
My car is in decent shape, but it does have over 100,000 miles.
My car receives good mileage, and drives very well. I've owned it five years, and it has taken me many places without problems other than alternator going out, but that is to be expected. The car has a pretty nice sound system too.
Jenny B
on March 7, 2021
Mazda 3 hatchback not super family friendly.
I love the shape of this car. I love the hatch, and the extra space in the trunk. I love this car, however, it does not have much space in the back seat. I recently became a mother, and the car seat takes up a lot of space in the back seat. If you are sitting in front of the car seat, it is somewhat uncomfortable.
Jessica L
on March 6, 2021
Mazda 3 review! Comfortable and reliable for the average person.
Problems: no sunroof. Performance: overall well and does what it needs to do. Reliability: 8/10 I have never had any issues with my Mazda 3. It has needed an oil change for a long time and I still have no problems with it, comfort: it is not luxurious, but standard for what one person may need, roomy back seat. Text features on car for alerts are nice.
savannah B
on March 6, 2021
Great drivers car, stick shift.
The 2013 mazdaspeed 3 is a really fun vehicle to own, as long as you know stick shift! It is a drivers car, so not the most comfortable car in the Mazda fleet. Very reliable though, as we have had it for the past seven years with no major issues. Would definitely recommend.
Sara P
on March 3, 2021
I really like my Mazda3 a lot.
I love how the car handles. It's really fun to drive and is especially good at handling turns. It's comfortable and reliable and suits me well. The interior and extra features are what clue you in to it being a cheaper car but it definitely drives like a nicer car which is what I care about.
Keith H
on March 2, 2021
You can't fit too many passengers in the back seat comfortably.
I like how quick it's acceleration is. It isn't a good vehicle for lots of passengers due to no leg room. It has been low maintenance so far.
Ashley G
on March 1, 2021
The car has Bluetooth, navigation system, and heated bucket leather seats.
My vehicle is awesome. The only problem I have ever had with the vehicle is that I rain over a construction screw and had a hole in my tire and when I went to get it fixed I never got a tire key so I had to go back to the Mazda dealership and have my locks removed and have bolts put on. But other than that I have had no other complaints or problems.
Nikole T
on February 27, 2021
Affordable, efficient, and sporty too!
My Mazda 3 is the most comfortable, reliable, and efficient automobile I have ever had. It is 30 plus mpg average has been very appealing. With standard upkeep I have had no major mechanical issues. Does have loud road noise but makes up for it in engine performance. Sporty, efficient, reliable but would like if had option for sun/moon roof with sport package. Would and probably will purchase a Mazda vehicle again since the affordability and performance have won me over with this 2013 Mazda 3.
Andrew V
on February 27, 2021
It has a navigation system and entertainment system that works very well.
I like the size and gas mileage. I dislike that all the plastic components of my car have and are falling apart. I like the dependability of my car.
Cate C
on February 26, 2021
Mazda 3 is awesome, highly recommend.
Great ride, fast, smooth, a little noisy, small, but great trunk space! Great on gas, very reliable, air conditioning is always blowing cold! I take this road trips and we have had no problems. I also attach surfboards and sup boards with no issues!
Sadie L
on February 25, 2021
Bose speaker system and sunroof.
Needs full synthetic oil. Paint comes off the leather steering wheel. Lights dim when the computer system needs to be updated. Good Bose speaker system and steering wheel controls. The back of seat pocket rips easily, other than that good seat fabric.
TYLER G
on February 24, 2021
The Mazda 3 is inexpensive, sporty, and all around fun car!
It's got great mileage and fuel economy. The assisted manual transmission is very fun and means I don't need to know how to drive an actual manual. The car is fast with great pickup, braking, and handling. It's not a huge vehicle but the seats do fold down in the back and we can fill it with quite a bit of luggage.
Pri I
on February 23, 2021
Simple, good performance car.
Mileage is not the best and this car is known for control arm issues. It is a lightweight car so you can see how the car shivers when on highway but nothing good driving cannot take care of. The vehicle is smooth regardless but have to be careful especially with right control arm.
Mikayla B
on February 20, 2021
Mazda hatchback with lock in trunk.
It is smooth and not sensitive. The seats are heated and very adjustable. There's a lot of space in the car in general. The lock button on the trunk is very helpful. This car is suitable for short people, I am very short and the seats can adjust to people shorter than me.
Jessica W
on February 19, 2021
Great car for great price.
I have had no problems with it since buying it. It is very reliable and gets great gas mileage. I have regularly serviced it and it has had no performance issues whatsoever.
Allison H
on February 18, 2021
It goes zoom zoom zoom for real! It is very reliable!
I love my car because it has treated me so well over the last 5 years and is still going strong. It has required minimal maintenance. The hatch back allows me to carry so many things or all different sizes. I would buy again. My only complaint is that the back doors are a bit small.
Nancy S
on February 13, 2021
Beautiful silver Mazda 3 with black interior and a sporty feel
I love the sporty feel of my Mazda 3. My favorite part is how seamlessly it takes turns and shifts gears. The inside is comfortable and sleek. I wish this model had a built in navigation system and sometimes a moonroof. After starting a family I'm thinking of upgrading to a Cx-5 for a more roomier ride and bigger trunk space.
Claire S
on February 11, 2021
I love my Mazda 3. Recommend this car.
The car drives very well and is a smooth ride. Seats are comfortable. I haven't had any major issues with this car. Great gas mileage. Electric problem caused headlights to flicker but this was easily fixed and covered by warranty. Good trunk space.
Vince P
on February 10, 2021
Good at the beginning but everything is falling apart now.
It worked ok the first couple of years I had it but I am now running into issue after issue. New struts, tires, gears that do not like to stay in, and a few other things. I end up getting the expensive oil changes so they can help monitor the rest of the car.
Katie V
on February 9, 2021
2013 Mazda 3, the car you see everywhere.
This car gets good gas mileage, about 400 miles to a tank. It has a comfortable, quiet ride. Have had a problem with the headlights flashing brightness randomly but it was covered under recall fix and only took about 30 minutes in the shop. The backseat does have a lack of foot/leg space but it is a compact so that is to be expected.
grace E
on February 6, 2021
Size of the Mazda 3 vehicle.
It's been driving well for 3 years I like it safe in the one accident I had great size for a city car would recommend if looking for a small car but back seat is tight and the ceiling is low so not the best for a tall person to own I guess get it if you like it.
Samantha L
on February 5, 2021
2013 Mazda 3 is a great, reliable vehicle!
I own a 2013 Mazda 3 itouring with skyactiv. At 54,000 miles, I have had no problems with it whatsoever. It runs very smooth, It gets 35 miles per gallon, has Bluetooth capabilities. It has ample trunk space and the back seats fold down for extra storage.
Kerri W

2013 Mazda 3 touring 4 door.
Easy to drive and comfortable ride. Low maintenance, just normal wear and tear for part replacements or work. Has the following features: power windows, sunroof, front wheel drive, ac, cloth seats, 4 door, Bluetooth connection, CD player. No fog lights, no backup camera, no heated seats or steering wheel.
Samantha C

2013 Mazda 3: good gas mileage and comfortability on long rides.
I have had my Mazda for more than a year now. I got it used from a personal friend. I recently moved from ct to North Carolina and that was the vehicle I had at the time. This car has excellent gas mileage, especially on the highway. It is comfortable for one person to drive a long way, but the small size of the center console can make it mildly uncomfortable if multiple people are driving the car long distances.
Candice C
on February 1, 2021
White 2013 Mazda 3 4 door sedan.
I like that the car has a setting that indicates how many miles I can drive before I have to refill the gas tank. In terms of performance, in the 5 years I have driven it, I have had no issues. I wish it had more technology features, such as a backup camera.
Kelsey W
on January 30, 2021
Great car but small. Too small for kids.
The car itself is great unless you have a kid. It is way too small to have two car seats in the back let alone one. The truck is also very tiny for a stroller. With my child in the back seat you have to have the passenger seat all the way forward it is very crammed. But other than that I love the car.
Aidan K
on January 26, 2021
Mazda 2013. Great gas mileage and runs smoothly.
It gets great gas mileage. I do a lot of driving around town, and I will not need to fill the table for a good six or seven days. When I do, it costs may be 15 dollars to fill it up. Runs very smoothly, and while the car is pretty small, it is very easy to handle. Parking in small spots is extremely easy and it maneuvers very well.
Kristina T
on January 25, 2021
I told you my car is great. Go buy one now.
It's good. I love it clean. Its beautiful and it comes in different colors. The radio is great as well. Hello there I told you it was fine stop asking me to write more. You want me to write even more junk on here when I told you my car is fine and everyone will love it so much if they decide to buy one. Please go out and buy a Mazda you will not regret it. I promise you that.
Zack E
on January 24, 2021
Excellent vehicle for driving around town.
I love my Mazda 3! It is a very comfortable car to drive around in and is surprisingly sporty. I have had it for 3.5 years now and have never had an issue with it. There is little to no space in the backseat for passengers, so I would not recommend this vehicle if you intend to use it for more than 2 people.
Jorge Z
on January 23, 2021
Good car minor issues after 7 years and counting. Reliable and fun to drive.
Good reliable car. No motor issues just one of the motor mounts needed to be tighten. But the car was still under warranty and fixed. The suspension is starting to give out but the car is about 7 years old now. I have a manual transmission and it great no issues. Only issue would have to be the back row is small for adults and the dash is a bit confusing. Being that a lot of buttons and functions are clustered on the dash. Would I buy another? Maybe.
Anthony R
on January 23, 2021
For an older car, it is still pretty modern a the same time.
Overall performance is outstanding. I have had this car since 2013 and I have yet to run into any mechanical issues. Solid car. As long as you give a little talc, as you should with anything, the car will last you for some time!
Holly M
on January 22, 2021
Love the Bluetooth. There are no interesting details to report.
I love the Bluetooth, dual climate controls, & aux capabilities. I wish it had a back up camera & a remote start. I have not had any major issues, only routine maintenance. I also love that it gets pretty decent gas mileage. It is very smooth riding.
Brittany C
on January 21, 2021
Mazda3: I can look like a cool and crazy soccer mom.
Gets great gas mileage and is super dependable. Actually bigger than it looks!! I am able to fit 2 big car seats in the back plus have room for a smaller person to sit in between. The only thing I do not like is the confusing sensor lights on the dashboard.
Megan S
on January 20, 2021
Mazda 3i sport for the win
The car is incredible economical and I have not had any issues with the car. I have regular maintenance performed so that probably helps. The air conditioner always blows cold and any repairs that have been needed are affordable. I take my car to the Mazda dealer that I bought it from and they are so incredibly helpful in letting me know what needs to be done to keep the car running well. The only thing I wish the car had was Bluetooth connection
Nate F
on January 19, 2021
2013 Mazda 3 - high value for a low cost.
It drives great and has only had minor issues. Handles great, clutch is responsive and it feels quick in lower gears and high rpms. I have passed 100,000 miles and the original clutch still seems to have plenty of life. In my opinion, it is easily one of the best cars in its price range. Drives well, looks good, and is reliable.
Brooke K
on January 19, 2021
Great vehicle for dog owners!
My vehicle is super reliable. I have had no major issues with my car in my 6 years of ownership. I feel like it is a good compromise of luxury and affordability. My only wish is that it had more legroom in the back. I like that when I fold the seats down, my dog has the whole back area to lounge on long road trips. The hatchback fits lots of things.
Moe M
on January 17, 2021
I like how it is white but blacked out.
There are no problems with my vehicle. I like the Bluetooth and the sound system. Windows are tinted dark. Blacked out rims. Cruise control is swell. Great gas mileage. The one thing I'd change is how compact the vehicle is, the back seat is small and cannot fit tall/big guests.
Nizjah S
on January 14, 2021
The good and the bad of a Mazda 3 2013.
My Mazda 3 is a great reliable car. It gets me from where I need to go. The seats are comfortable. But my only thing is that it is to small once you have kids. The passenger seat is pretty much all the way up and makes it uncomfortable. The stroller barely fits in the truck. It is a great car for people without kids. I love it is push to start feature. Make getting my kid in the car easier. Bluetooth works great. And it drives nice and smooth.
Amelia C
on January 12, 2021
No one drives it but me. It is mine.
It is a reliable and nice looking car. Gets great gas mileage. It is got good safety ratings. I wish I had more space, would prefer an SUV.
Carl G
on January 6, 2021
Comfortable, reliable, excellent on gas
This vehicle is the best I've ever owned! Very comfortable seating for both driver and passengers. Seats recline back nicely and are adjustable (I am much shorter than my husband but we are both able to adjust our seats to ride very comfortably.) Never had a problem with the radio, cruise control, or other electronics. It's spacious enough with excellent trunk space. A very reliable, comfortable car that's excellent with gas mileage. The only downside is it does not have Bluetooth, but we use an adaptor to play our Spotify :) Best car purchase we ever made!
John C

Super gas efficient, has amazing performance, it is very reliable
Of which the vehicle has problems not at all have I had one issue and it's at 75k miles. The car is very well rounded and performance is amazing whether you want to save gas or haul it. Has been very reliable and comfort level is the extreme. Has many capabilities such as bluetooth, cruise, and sport.

The 2013 Mazda 3 is truly a great car.
My car is very reliable, needed virtually no repairs over the years I have had it, and is truly a great vehicle. It is very small, so comfort can be lacking slightly if you are taller, however the driver seat can be raised and lowered to your liking. Overall I have almost no complaints and would highly recommend this car.

Love this car! Drives like a boss.
Brakes continued replaced, hard to find wheel. Lug pattern, comfortably put 3 dogs, a child and 2 adults with luggage in the car. Big enough for a family but keeps economical use. Very quick and fast for a hatchback. Lower to the ground than a regular hatchback.

A perfect first car for young drivers.
This car drives great and has an easy to control pick-up. It is great for young drivers like myself. It also has Bluetooth compatibility with my cell phone which is great quality. I also love the backup camera that displays on the nice sized screen on the dashboard. It is great on gas as well. The only controls that confuse me sometimes are for the air conditioning, but this is a very minor inconvenience.

Mazda3 fun to drive with luxe feel.
Overall, I love my Mazda 3. It's fun to drive and feels luxe compared to other cars in the same price range. I love having Bluetooth which. Allows. Me to easily listen to my favorite music/podcasts and easily answer phone calls but the setup options are not intuitive. The voice activated system has a difficult time differentiating what I am saying making it near impossible to use.

I love the room in the trunk of this vehicle.
This is vehicle is absolutely reliable; I have owned it for years by staying on top of regular maintenance it has never given me a problem. I go at least 30 miles a day and this car has gotten me safely to where I need to go each time. Great vehicle for people who drive a lot in their daily life.

The amazing gas mileage is what I tell everyone about.
I love the pearl white color. The size is perfect and the gas mileage is amazing! I don't have any complaints at this time. I've owned it for 4 years

Fun, zippy car! High quality, reliable car!
I have the stick shift version. It is zippy and has great pickup. The sting is super cute too! The car gets great gas mileage and it is so fun to drive. Haven't had any major issues up to this point at all. Car feels solid when closing the doors, not light and cheap like dimes cars!

Great mileage, good performance, and low maintenance
Great mileage, good performance just needs more interior room

Driver feel and handling are far better than comparably priced vehicles.
The Mazda 3 drives like a pricier, sportier, more expensive vehicle. While power is not quite as strong, the handling and driver feel is great.

Mazda3: great gas mileage and spacious interior.
I really love my Mazda3. I recently got it a few months ago and it drives like new. I got an older model and it has held up really well. The sound system is amazing, as well as the comfortable seats. The cupholders are very functional, unlike some cars I have seen before. The trunk size is very spacious and held almost all of my stuff when I packed and moved to college, and the back seats lay down which extends the trunk space even more! The gas mileage is amazing and it is only around $25 to fully fill the tank. Overall, I love the Mazda3 and would recommend that car to anyone.

I think Mazdas slogan says it best...zoom zoom!
I love that It's both sporty and gets great gas mileage. It has everything from paddle shifters to bose surround sound to a moonroof. I wouldn't trade it for anything

Mazda 3 is the best affordable car.
I bought this car as my first car and it was really good for me to get to school and work. I really love this car I still have it now. It is not the newest and nicest but it has really good features and is a nice looking car for being so affordable. I highly recommend if your looking for a used cash car, definitely look out for Mazda 3s.

My vehicle is very fast and has a good skyactiv engine. Would recommend.
It has a little slow pickup speed, otherwise good. Seats are black so very hot in car but still very good car to mainly use. .

Very sporty and reliable. No service issues, but not bad at all.
I love my mazda3! It is very zippy and can be a little choppy at times, but overall I like how responsive it is. I have not had reliability issues nor any service issues. The car has held up very well. I live in Illinois and this car is not the best in the snow. I didn’t expect it to, but I do slip and slide in snowy weather. Sometimes it slides a bit in the rain.

User friendly and reliable.
Very reliable. Does great in the snow with studded tires. Good trunk space and cabin room for 2 or 3 people. Sound system is ok, but next time I would go for premium sound. It is comfortable enough, but next time I would get heated leather seats - the grand touring package!

Gas mileage vs safety choices.
Reliable in terms of gas mileage and efficiency but this is not a very strong car. Make sure you invest in some good bumpers. The inside of the car is very comfortable and I love the sporty feel that it has. The trunk is very spacious as well. The speaker quality is great too.

Reliable but lacks technology.
My Mazda is very reliable and has had very few problems. It drives well and is comfortable for a small sedan. The only thing keeping me from rating it a 5 is the lack of technology. I wish it had more features such as a display screen. The Bluetooth connection is also sometimes spotty.

The Mazda 3 is a fun car to drive.
The car is fun to drive, has a decent sound system, and has excellent fuel economy. It is a good car to take on a drive through a winding mountain road. The stereo required an update when we purchased it, but even that was fairly easy with some online instructions.

Low maintenance low gas mileage.
Mazda is a great car. Keep up the maintenance and very seldom will you have a problem. Low gas mileage. Low maintenance.

2013 Mazda 3: the good, bad and ugly.
This car has been very reliable, gets good gas mileage and was available in standard transmission option which was a big selling point for me. The trunk is specious but the back seat is very small. I bought this car before having children but I would not buy this car as a family car. Luckily my kids are small enough now but once they're out of car seats I see this being a very uncomfortable car for them to travel in. There are a few issues with the plastic interior around the dashboard. It appears to be coming apart/lifting from the base which of course is undesirable. The only modification I have made to the vehicle is the addition of cruise control.

2013 mazdaspeed stock and not so stock review.
I have had zero problems with the car. I keep up with regular maintenance. Stock it was comfortable, I have since added my own suspension and power upgrades. Please install the hpfp internals if you go any modding route. Cai or Sri coupled with a catless downpipe and custom tune was a great start! Add in coilovers, good set of tires and an intercooler and you are set. There’s only two options; non-tech pack or with tech pack. I have the latter and love it. By far the funniest car I have owned.
