Used 2011 Mazda Mazda3 for Sale

This vehicle has been great to drive. We got it used, and we've had no maintenance issues so far. We love it's charcoal color. It's a great fit for size. I am 6'1", and I fit comfortably. Nice integration of Bluetooth, aux cord hookups for media playing. You can also make phone calls over Bluetooth. It handles well and can give some oomph at high speeds.

I like the gas mileage. The 4 cylinder engine does not generate a lot of horsepower, but I can get around 27 mpg on average. The air conditioner blows icy cold in the summer and the heater is quick to heat up in the winter. The heater fans emit a high-pitch noise on the higher levels, which can be irritating at times. The build quality of the vehicle does not feel quite as solid as other vehicles. For instance, the doors feel very light and almost hollow and not rigid. I hear rattling in the trunk often during city driving, but this usually goes away at higher speeds. This model comes with a moon roof and a sunroof as well, which makes for nice airflow during mild weather conditions. Driving on the freeway is fairly quiet, though it can be improved through better tires. The Bluetooth radio is nice feature if you want to connect your phone for music or directions. It has buttons on the steering wheel to answer calls, hang up, and change tracks. It is a bit cumbersome to set up however. The audio speakers in the car are decent, but audiophiles may be disappointed with the bass output. The two back seats are bit crowded, so I would not recommend any road trips with more than two passengers. The back seats do fold down however, which is opens up plenty of extra storage space in the trunk. The front seats are very spacious and quite comfortable. I bought this vehicle to replace my 2001 Honda Accord Coupe, and I am pleased with the better mileage and the ample space and leg room and the newer amenities it has. However, the Honda was the noticeably sturdier, heavier and more durable vehicle despite being a decade older. I still feel as though I would be safer in a car wreck in my old Honda than this Mazda. Overall, the Mazda 3 meets my basic daily commuter needs by providing good mileage, a reliable HVAC system, ample space, and a Bluetooth audio connection, but there are some compromises made in the design and build quality that I fear will not hold up over the years I plan to own this vehicle.

I liked the look of the vehicle, though it could appear sportier. The vehicle drives great, except in the snow. It is very spacious and comfortable. The speakers are phenomenal, Bose speakers. The sunroof is always a nice advantage, though I usually don't use it often. It doesnÕt get the best gas mileage, and along with that, the car itself doesnÕt hold a lot of gas. I feel like I am constantly going and filing up with gas, which can get costly. The car sits very low to the ground, which can be a problem during the winter along with hitting any minor bump or parking curb. Sometimes my car makes a funny noise, though it has been looked at, nothing seems to be fixed about it. The interior however is great! Black... so it hides a lot and fairly comfortable. The roof is this strange brown or tan interior, which shows everything and doesnÕt match the rest of the car. The backseat is fairly roomy, enough for three boys to sit back there without a problem. Overall, a decent car for a high school/college student.
