This was a recent purchase. It was bought with the intention of only needing a vehicle to last us for one year. This Mazda has turned out to be the best car I have owned to date though. I also currently own a 2013 Impala, but I prefer driving the older Mazda. It is all leather, with a moon roof, in-dash navigation, heated seats, and Bose speakers. We didn't know it when we bought it, but we got an amazing deal on this vehicle. This car is great, just don't expect much space as it is small(er).

I have driven my Mazda 3 go for around 30,000 miles without a single breakdown. Build quality is above average with high quality interiors, user friendly electronics such as did player and navigation. I quite often drive sea side and there is no visible rust build up. I'm quite satisfied with the performance with 2l engine. I find the suspension and dynamics to be excellent and handling performance is impressive. Road noise is something to be improved. Leg space of the rear seats are not enough.
