Huge upgrade from the 2017!

I owned the 2017 Mazda 3 HB GT for a couple years now. Was an awesome car to drive and super reliable and one of the few cars still producing a manual (never owned an automatic). After getting the 2020 Premium manual, I could never go back. Every single part of this car is an upgrade from the 2017 which I already loved. The styling is next to none and the inside literally looks like a premier high end vehicle. Switching gears if effortless and more fun than ever. The entertainment system and Bose sound system are top notch. The Carplay is awesome and the sound quality is super crisp with great bass. The safety features are great too and make driving effortless and essentially worry free. There is less space in the back seats for additional passengers but honestly that is not an issue for me because I rarely have more than one passenger in my car. And the with the backseats down I can still very easily fit my road bike and golf clubs when needed. The margins are low on Mazdas for a reason, they offer top notch features and styling for a fraction of the price you'd pay for other car brands.

Way back in the day, my parents bought me a Mazda GLC to travel back and forth from college. That car was quality through and through... yet, I never considered Mazda again. Until now. I purchased a 2020 Premium Hatchback with all the bells and whistles you can think of having. Machine gray with the black trim kit. A beauty! I couldn't be happier. I got tired of the "keeping up with the Jones's life... and after having owned five previous Lexus models over the years, I decided to "downgrade" to the Mazda. Yeah, the funny thing is... it wasn't a downgrade. This car is everything and more. Premium high end interior, amazing ride and handling, lots of great "Hey, that's a good looking car" comments! Mazda, I'm back... and hooked!

I recently traded in my 2005 Base Mazda 3 for a 2020 Base Mazda 3. The price I paid was only $1,800 more than I paid for a new car in 1991 (YES! 29 years ago, and only $1,800 more!) -- the price point is EXTREMELY competitive! Imagine my surprise when I sat in the Base model for the first time, and saw leather dashboard, leather console, leather wrapped gear shifter, and leather trim on the doors! This car is truly fantastic! The bucket seats hold you in place while cornering, and this car corners like it's on rails. Acceleration is smooth, quick, and nearly silent. Steering is tight and responsive. Despite what the window sticker says, I'm regularly getting an average of 45 mpg! I have no idea why this car has such a poor rating on Edmunds -- I think people are complaining about things that don't exist. Do not believe the poor ratings here -- you need to test drive this car for yourself! The only thing I don't like about this car is the "Lane Departure Warning" (shakes the steering wheel and buzzes on the dashboard when changing lanes without signaling) and "Lane Keeping Assist System" (physically resists you changing lanes and pushes you back into your lane). I am not a big fan of software driving my car -- I want to be in full control of my car. The good news is that you can easily turn these features OFF via the on-screen display in the car. I also would have liked a sunroof -- but I can totally understand why the Base model (bottom of the line, el-cheapo trim level) does not come with a sunroof. Seriously guys -- there is nothing but GOOD THINGS about this car! This car deserves a 5-star rating! And remember my 2005 Base Mazda 3 that I traded in? It had 258,000 miles on it, and everything still worked! These cars are unbeatable, and truly amazing -- I truly expect to get the same quality out of my 2020 Base Mazda 3!

I can not imagine ever trading this in or selling it. It seems like every new car is following particularity bad trends (ie: every driving command controlled by a glitchy touch screen infotainment), but the Mazda 3 is going in the best possible direction. The amount of engineering, thought, and attention to detail in this vehicle is incredible. The infotainment is fast and you don't have to avert your eyes much from the road. Your arm rests right where the control knob is- so you don't have to look at the screen almost at all - once you get used to the UI layout. The handling on this car is superior to any car I've driven - and the AWD is an added bonus. Though, sometimes you can really feel the extra weight of the AWD system. If 0-60 speed is a concern, the FWD will feel quite a bit faster. The manual mode is very responsive and fun to use. Overall, there is very little about this car that I do not love. The seating in the back is a little cramped for tall passengers, so that is something to consider if that is applicable to your lifestyle. I have not had an issue with cargo space because the seats fold down almost flat - however I do not have kids and usually only have 2 to 3 people in the car at one time. Overall, I would buy this car again in a heartbeat. PS: Mazda, please bring the heated steering wheel to U.S versions. We like our hands to be warm too.

Went to test drive a 2020 CX-3 originally. It was better than expected but not what I really wanted. I much rather have the 3. From the moment I saw it at the dealership, I knew I had to test drive it. The model I drive was a 2021 base model. It was nearly perfect. My disappointments were few, but significant. One, the 2021 base model has a smaller engine. Secondly, they do not offer Apple CarPlay/Android Auto unless you step up a trim (Select) and blind spot monitoring is not available on this trim. Oh, and it comes with 16” wheels/tires as opposed to the 18” wheels/tires on the higher trims. However, even without those features, the car impresses. Get in and look around. Quality shines in the details. The infotainment system is very good, although I miss the touchscreen functionality. The feel of the seats, the craftsmanship of the interior, the movements of the knobs, stalks, console, etc. is exemplary, even in base form. When driving, I felt as if I had owned this car all along. It was a natural fit and feel. Everything falls into place. That big C-pillar isn’t so big if you use you mirrors and actually turn your head when attempting to change lanes or park. I was looking to buy a CUV; not any more. This car is almost as roomy, much better looking, and is a car that can haul the things I need while being stylish. Some loathe the rear quarters. Others love it. Count me as the latter. I suggest grabbing the 2020 models while they are still around. The 2021 models are having the trims and features shuffled (a few standard trim items now optional). Drive it. Yes, it costs a bit more. But that difference you will feel is indescribable.
