Used Mazda Mazdaspeed3 for Sale

When I was first looking at newer cars, I wasn't quite sure what I wanted since I'm not typically a car person or know anything about cars for that matter. I had owned a VW and Dodge in the past which both relied me pretty well. Now was time for a nicer car I could afford and I had to do a little research. After searching up the best cars of 2013 I came across the Mazda 3. It looked so beautiful that I had to see for myself and I'm glad I did. The model I found is upgraded and I managed to talk the price down since it had been on the lot for 6 months. Having owned this car for 6 months now I can honestly say it's the best car I've ever owned. Some of the reasons why are: It's newer, It has only 10,000 miles on it, it has air conditioning, a moon roof, heated leather seats, full stereo, and much more. This car has almost everything I want and is so pretty to look at, and also fun to drive. I can honestly say the car doesn't have many cons. The only thing I wish was different was a lot of the black interior. It looks beautiful when clean, but when it gets dusty it sticks out like a sore thumb. I find myself cleaning the car constantly because I want it to look nice. Other than that the car drives beautifully. I can take it on the highway and it doesn't even feel like I'm driving. All the parts are new and I change the oil consistently.

The Mazda Speed3 is a great all around vehicle. The build of the hatchback is sporty but spacious. The entire backseat folds down to allow you to use all of the space efficiently. The front-wheel drive mixed with a 260hp motor turns any green light into a race. With synthetic fuel, the mileage on Speed 3 is almost double the original. It can carry large equipment, large furniture, or serve as a camper for trips or drive-in movies. It's also extremely reliable and sturdy. Even with less than optimal maintenance schedule, the Speed 3 runs without any major issues. The only issues with the Speed 3 is cost, speakers, noise, and gears. Though it has a Bose Sound system, it's not tuned very well and doesn't sound the best. While driving, especially on bumpy roads, the cabin can be very load, which also reduces the sound from the speakers. And lastly cost the tires, gas, oil, and maintenance on the car is all way above average. And can cost you $300+ just for maintenance.

I purchased this car after searching for a few years for an affordable subcompact that also didn't look like a "mom vehicle." The Mazda's styling is a nice blend between fierce and smooth, and has the handling to go with it. There is a noticeable difference in handling between the lower models and the Touring/Grand Touring models, which is made even more apparent with a good set of tires. For the price point, the Mazda gives quite a bit of bang for your buck. The interior is comfortable and simple, though the backseat really isn't meant for tall people or constantly carpooling. It handles well, still is catchy (at least, in certain colors), and is still regarded as a good purchase amongst the economy subcompact class. My biggest issues are with the gas mileage, which is abysmal for a car this size. It definitely should be better, but even with conservative driving leaves much to be desired. Mazda paint is notoriously soft and thin, and my car already has had paint issues, the first being when it was only 3 years. It had to be resprayed, but I question the quality and longevity of the paint used. The front power windows also failed after 4 years, and has caused me not to use the sunroof in hopes of avoiding a similar fate as the front windows. All in all, it is a fun, comfortable car to drive for the price point. I do wish Mazda gave more options, for example, no power windows or no sun roof, because I would love to have a car with the handling of the Touring/Grand Touring models without all the unnecessary mechanical "amenities".
