My 2010 Mazda 3 hatch is a great little car. Zippy, responsive, reliable, and just pure fun to drive. I purchased the car second-hand and am so pleased with my choice. The car gets great gas mileage, averaging approximately 26mpg. It's comfortable to drive without feeling "cushy." Appearances aren't everything, but the Mazda is a very striking, attractive vehicle. Mine is a gunmetal blue mica, a paint finish that always seems to draw approving comments. The interior is minimalist rather than luxurious, but has nice touches like silver trim on the console. I have the 5 CD changer, which may be a little outdated and unnecessary in this age of Bluetooth-connected everything, but it's nice to have. Speaking of Bluetooth, despite the age of the car it connects seamlessly (after a few hiccups) with my iPhone 6S. The sound quality provided by the Bose speakers is superb. For such a compact car, the Mazda3 hatchback has a surprising amount of trunk space. Trust me, you can fit a LOT in that little car. She may be basic, but she has everything I need and is truly a pleasure to drive.

I love this car! I have been driving it for over 6 years now and I love it just as much as when I first got it. I really like the very compact size of the car. It also has a six-cylinder engine so it doesn't take much for it to speed up. It also brakes on a dime. The body is so sleek and very sharp looking. Although, the trunk/ back end does rise up a littler higher than most other cars, making the backside view hard to see at times. The blind spots also make for difficult visibility at times. But overall, I LOVE this car! The ride is smooth and it handles and drives great.
