Used Mazda Mazda3 for Sale in Saint Paul, MN

This car handles extremely well, the steering is very responsive without being too tight or loose. The car is aesthetically sleek but strong. The car accelerates very quickly at first, but dies down quickly by rolling into higher gears too soon (in my opinion). However, the car does come with a sport-shift option, which works quite well, and is seamless to transition into. The sound system is average, but the doors do tend to rattle a bit. The interior is a bit noisy overall for a modern car. The seats are very very comfy, very firm, and messes clean up easily. Overall, it is a car I am relatively happy with. However, the thing most people may not realize about the car is that it is absolutely, devastatingly, infuriatingly hard to change the headlight bulbs! The driver side headlight bulb is tucked in tight, you need some tiny hands to get in there and get it loose or secure without hurting your hands. The weird clip mechanism that holds it is the complicated and stupid piece of engineering I maybe have ever seen. I have had to change the driver side headlight at least 3 or 4 or 5 times, which is an incredible number of times, and I can only imagine it is because of some malfunction of the retaining clip for the bulb. I would rather change the oil or a tire on this car than to change a headlight. I have considered removing all the screws for the bumper in order to have better access to the bulbs, that is how bad it is.

The car runs so smooth. When the car accelerates it doesn't struggle at all. I've never had a car pull out so lightly from an intersection. At the same time, you can put it in the sport mode and really give it some muscle. On the inside, every button is where you want it.
