The Mazda3 is a very sturdy little vehicle. It is a 12-year-old car that looks like it is only three years old. The car is in very nice condition and runs smoothly. It is small and compact, but it feels like there is a lot of room inside. There is not very much trunk space, but with a little car like this, you can't expect there to be a lot anyway. The gas mileage is decent, not good but not bad either. It handles very well, and I have not had any issues with it so far. Overall, I am very happy to have purchased this specific car.

I like that it was reliable. The only hassle was that the tire suspension kept breaking for some odd reason. I had to get it fixed multiple times, and despite being gentle with driving, it continued to keep breaking. The car's fuel economy was poor for how small of a car it was. The best part of the car was that it kept on trucking regardless. The forward wheel drive was good in the snow, even though it was a lighter car. The handling was top-notch for its price. It really handled well, and I did not even have any extra modifications added to it. The car aged appropriately. There were signs of rust approximately 150,000 miles in which is normal for a car. I had multiple accidents in the car a few times, and I felt safe in it despite its small size. I had to replace the Freon in the A/C once thus far, which is appropriate for a car this age. The power windows had a weird malfunction recently where the driver's window needed to have the passenger window engaged in order for the driver's window to work. This car all in all is a car that is perfect for a low-budget. It's reliable and functional despite its small caveats in its suspension.
