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 little knee room, of course, but the back...

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.

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 has great acceleration and handling and...

I have a Mazda 3, 2007 model and have owned it for 2 years now.  It's a great car for a short daily commute and I love it.  It's the perfect size for me, not too shabby on gas, and comes at a decent price.

However, my one major complaint about the car is the engine power.  This is a smaller car and if you are driving flat roads, you probably won't have any big complaints.  But I have taking my car on several trips where I encountered hilly highways.  This is where my little mazda disappointed me.  Approaching the hill, I would be driving 5-10 miles over the speed limit, only to immediately...
