I purchased my 2012 Mazda3 to replace my last vehicle (a 2003 Accord) and I have been very pleased with it so far. It gets great gas mileage, and I've saved nearly $100 per month on gas. The interior is not as nicely appointed as some other cars in its class, but in my opinion, the great gas mileage and excellent handling more than make up for it.

This car was purchased used from a family member with lower mileage on it. I have changed the oil myself every 5,000 miles and done other routine maintenance, and the vehicle runs great after ten years. The car has a very nice sporty look and interior has nice lights and dark colors. The car gets pretty good gas mileage and has nice pick up speed. The car also has the option to utilize manual, which is fun from time to time.
