Used Mazda Mazda3 for Sale in Erie, PA

The Mazda CX-3 is an excellent vehicle, which has surpassed my expectations since driving out the showroom in 2015. The car drives very smoothly, but you really get a sense that it can be powerful when you want it to be. It handles very well and is very respondent to the drivers touch. Style wise it is top class, the interior incorporates black and red hand stitched leather and the exterior contours and curves delightfully.

While the Mazda 3 is an absolute joy to drive and handles very well, it may not be the perfect car for every situation. If you plan on taking long trips, prepare to pay a hefty bill at the local tire shop within the month. The rear camber is non-adjustable to improve handling on curves but causes interior wear on the rear tires. The leather interior and heated seats are sturdy foam underneath, comfortable to sit in, and the front seats (not so much the rear) offer plenty of leg room if you aren't too tall. The floors are carpeted nicely with Velcro access panels, through the carpet to get to the audio wiring for when the amplifier inevitably fails. The vehicle handles very well, as expected from a brand dedicated to the driving experience. Even with a load of materials in the trunk of the hatch with the rear seats folded down, the car doesn't roll through turns and stops very well. The solid 2.5l inline, four-cylinder engine is reliable with proper maintenance and offers enough power to zip around town or out on the freeway, but you won't be tracking this car for any respectable times. Overall, it is a solid car and fun to drive. My only complaints are the performance aspects that make maintenance expensive.
