2013 Mazda Mazda3 Usados en Venta

Overall, the car is great in every way I was concerned about. I bought it used at about 13,000 miles, and so far I am up to around 35,000 and have had no issues with it whatsoever. It always starts, runs, and performs reliably, with no strange behaviors or noises that give me concern. Everything has held up well in the interior, and the only slight issue I have had with it was the dashboard looking like it was starting to warp in the heat--right after I was wondering about it; however, I got a recall notice in the mail saying that it is an issue that will be addressed and I can go in to get a free replacement dash. The car gets on average 28-30 mpg, so fuel economy is pretty nice, and the car in general sits right in the middle of style, performance, usefulness, and economy. The main reason I purchased the hatchback option was so that I would have room to do a variety of things, be it grocery shopping or hauling bigger quantities of things. So far I've been able to fit music equipment in it, construction equipment for a remodel (once bought a new toilet and vanity, along with some other supplies in the same trip, and they fit no problem after folding the back seats down), and plenty of moving boxes. The most satisfying thing was being able to fit a 5-6 foot Christmas tree inside the car and close the trunk, with my girlfriend sitting in the passenger seat. Another thing I love is the manual mode on the transmission: it's an automatic, so I get the convenience of that, but I also have the option to kick it into a manual mode, in case I need to downshift to accelerate faster or stop more quickly. With that feature, this car seems to have eliminated my one issue that I've had with automatics.

The Mazda 3 is a rather decent vehicle overall. I get an average of 35 mpg which is pretty competitive, especially for the price. I own the hatchback version which has a lot of space. Often people remark that I have a small car and stuff won't fit. I say, just wait, and then usually the capacity blows them away. I can easily fit my bike inside, or all 4 of my unicycles. It's a 2WD, however, I have had very few issues driving in snowy mountain areas in Colorado. In fact, I've been driving along fine through a blizzard while watching trucks abandoned on the side of the road. The balance of the vehicle is excellent, making it fun to drive in summer, and provides more control in the winter. It's smaller, so I can fit through tight spots I hadn't before. Maintenance-wise, parts have been average priced. I replaced a wheel well that broke for a $50 piece, which seems typical. Oil changes are with synthetic oil and of an average price. The resell value on the car appears to hold quite high as well.

I chose my vehicle because of the Mazda brand and because it offered a standard transmission. My second car was a "stick-shift" Mustang and I fell in love. It is boring to drive automatic vehicles to me. So, in the search for a newer vehicle, I came across my car. It is a 2013 Mazda 3 and at the time (2015) only had around 20,000 miles.
