2012 Mazda 3 Mazdaspeed 2.3t

Summary:

Best SPORTY hatch under 25k

Faults:

Nothing has gone wrong, but I have started to notice it is very easy for the car to pop out of gear. And it can be difficult to change gear.

General Comments:

Very quick, handles well for a car of its size.

Very roomy, great Bose system, MPG is OK, but could be better (I average 25 driving mostly 90% highway).

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know

2012 Mazda 3 i Grand Touring SkyActiv-G 2.0

Summary:

As Mazda use to advertise - GLC (Great Little Car)

Faults:

Nothing as of yet (I've owned the car for two weeks).

General Comments:

Great car so far! The gas mileage is terrific! I am averaging about 40 MPG with the six speed automatic transmission.

The heated leather driver and passenger seats are nice on those chilly evenings and cold mornings. The interior is quiet, and everything is easy to reach and see.

2012 Mazda 3 Touring 2.0 SkyActiv

Summary:

41 MPG is all that matters with high gas prices

Faults:

Nothing, it is new.

General Comments:

The car gets 41 MPG. It is fast, fun to drive, and holy cow is it cheap to operate. Did I mention it gets 41 MPG and I don't take it easy on the car?

I am extremely pleased. I will continue to update this as the car gets older.

If you're rough on your car, expect repairs sooner rather than later...

2012 Mazda 3 5 Door 2.5

Summary:

Great car

Faults:

Heat shield nuts fell off and had to be replaced.

General Comments:

This car has quite a bit of room for a smaller car, and there is plenty of power.

The car handles very well on wet and dry roads. For a lot of snow driving, I would change to a different tire.

I am very pleased with this car so far.

The little light that glows on the ceiling can be a little too much. I just put a tiny piece of tape over mine.
