This is my second Mazda3. Love the look of it compared to the 2012, but it still has what I love in this version. I like the updated navigation system though I wish it could be linked with my phone's maps. The leather interior is also an upgrade with red stitching. I have the 2.5L engine and I love how I can easily merge on the freeway. But with the bigger engine, the fuel efficiency drops. So I'm not sure which I would prefer more... better mileage or better performance. If I do lay off the gas pedal some, I can easily get between 35-40mpg.

I enjoyed the vehicle. It's a great brand as I've had a previous Mazda as well. The gas mileage is excellent. It performs very well. It's a zippy car, so you can go fast but also has great space in the trunk to store items. I can fit an entire soccer set of equipment in there. The features that come with the car are more than you'd expect.
