My wife and I were looking for a low-cost, dependable vehicle a couple of years ago and decided upon a Mazda3. From a dependability standpoint - getting you from point A to point B with low maintenance and little to no repairs - this has been an excellent choice and something I would recommend to anyone.

The Mazda 3 is one of the best cars I have ever owned. As I've aged, I simply want my vehicle to be something that gets me from point A to point B worry-free and hassle-free, and this car has certainly fit the bill. Outside of routine maintenance and regular oil changes, I haven't needed to actively do anything for this car. It gets relatively good miles per gallon and is pretty good to drive relative to other cars in its class. For these reasons, I would give the Mazda 3 a stellar recommendation.
