2007 Mazda 3 GT w/ Luxury Package review from North America

Nothing so far.

- This car is very nicely styled, especially in the GT trim, with the luxury package conveying the look of a much more expensive sedan both on the inside and outside

- Handling and acceleration are excellent while the same can be said for the braking

- The quality of the materials is very good, but, the headliner material and the carpeting could have been of a better quality

- The lack of a "dead pedal" driver's footrest is either a glaring oversight or cost cutting to keep the price down

- Overall build quality is very good and more than acceptable considering that this is after all a compact economy car

- Sound quality of the 6 CD changer stereo is excellent and the built in jack for MP3 players to connect into is a very useful

- Xenon headlights look great and further enhance the upscale look and feel of this car

- Auto headlight and Rain Sensing Wipers work very well although the sensitivity of the rain sensors sometimes seems to vary

- Fuel economy has been very good and comparable to my previous car (2003 Civic LX-Auto) despite this car having a bigger engine.

I would strongly recommend this car to anyone looking for a compact car with lots of upscale features and solid build quality.
