Mazda Mazda3 - 2007 Reviews

The 2007 Mazda 3 (hatchback) is a pretty good little car - emphasis on little! However, it's very solid, handles great, and really does have zoom-zoom! It's fun to drive! It gets very good gas mileage, which is why I leased it - 25 in the city in the summer, and I'm averaging about 23 in the city now that it's cold here in late November in Michigan. I don't do a lot of freeway driving but when I took it to the UP this summer, it got about 30 mpg! — It is a little on the small side, especially since I came from a 2004 Jeep Liberty. The back seat has very… read full review »

I am not a car person, I prefer trucks, but I adore my Mazda3. I have the Mazda3i Sedan Touring edition 5 speed with the 2.0. — I hate to have to reach for the radio and other controls, but the mazda has been designed so you don't have to. The telescoping steering column allows you to comfortably sit back in your seat. I have the 5 speed and its so easy and fun to drive. I also love the steering wheel controls for the radio. I added a $50 walmart amp and 2 10" subs in the trunk and the stock system sounds awesome (mine is the 6 disc unit). I get between 34-36 mpg., and that is… read full review »

My husband and I bought this car for our daughter when she graduated from college. She needed safe, reliable, economical transportation to begin her professional life but like all 22 year-olds, she wanted sporty and fast.  We were all happy when we found the Mazda3.  — The car has a distinctive shape and comes in great colors.  The four-door styling and comfortable back seat were a big step up from her 12 year old coupe style compact.  We bought the package that included the side air bags and custom ordered the mirror with the built in compass.  The car… read full review »

love the zoom, zoom.  its easy to get around town, not bad on the highway and takes the hills like a dream.  the dealership folks are as boreing as all the rest with the usual jazz that one must endure before getting down to actually purchasing.  one thing to avoid...as you are about to write a check they explain that the windows are etched with the VIN to deter thieves...and it will only cost you 600 dollars to keep the etching.  well, tell them to remove the windows and replace them, take off the charge...or you will… read full review »

The Mazda3 is an economical car. The gas mileage I usually get is about 23 city and 28 highway. This varies, but is not as good as advertized. Neverthelss, the car is trendy and cute without costing a ton to maintain or fill up. I have a 2.3, and the A/C is ok if the car is shaded, but if it is under the sun the A/C takes a while to cool down.… read full review »

Just bought this car after having owned a Mercedes C230 and glad to switch to a more affordable vehicle. — — This car is fun to drive and handles very well. Good gas mileage. One of the best features is a headphones jack in the center console which I connect my iPod to. — — —… read full review »
