My Mazda 3 has a gorgeous interior with all the bells and whistles. It's one of the few manufacturers that offer the highest trim levels with manual transmission, which is important to me. Performance is more than adequate and the handling is great. Exterior styling looks beautiful, paint is perfect, and there's tons of cargo room for two people, two medium dogs, two suitcases, a cooler, and all the stuff the dogs need. Fit and finish has been flawless. This is my second Mazda 3; my first lasted 12 years and is still going strong so I'm optimistic about the long term quality.
