The New York Strip of Hatchbacks
By Oliver on 1/3/2026 1:17:45 AM
My personal Mazda3 has been a great car. It rewards the driver with whatever task is requested of it. Whether you wish to take a long road trip and care for fuel efficiency with decent, albeit it not class leading, cargo capacity or whether you want something a cut above for a backroad blast, the Mazda3 does better than comparable rivals. Some of the highlights of this car include the fit, feel, and glamor of the cabin. I have spent lots of times in vehicles with MSRPs 2-3X that of the Mazda3 and even bouncing between the cars, I can say that I don't feel like the Mazda3 is missing much. The AWD system is HUGE in the winter and is happy to make you feel like a rally legend or just add to your confidence. Another plus is that I have had 0 issues within the last 24,000 miles, electrical, technological, or mechanical. The low lights of this car include the 2.5 NA engine, which takes forever to warm up and feels like let down compared to the rest of the upscaled experience of this car. This can be fixed by splurging for the turbo but fuel economy and reliability take a hit there so be weary. Additionally, immediately buy protective film for the gauge cluster and the center console area to prevent horrific piano black scratches. Even if you already have the car and there are scratches, buying these covers will make it look like new again so highly recommend as a word to the wise. Finally is space. This car trades space for noise isolation and design, so make sure you can live with the tightish backseats and mediocre cargo capacity. Either wya, great car with a mediocre but reliable and fuel efficient engine with an interior to rival the Germans' for $30k. If you can live with the size of the car, definitely a worthy buy, especially for a practical, money conscious enthusiast. - 5.0
Great car
By Icuwaiting on 12/16/2025 8:43:50 AM
I love this car. It has great features. A lot of features that even your luxury cars don’t have. Runs great ,lots of space in front and back. The interior sound stays within the car that I love. I’ve actually used this car for a work vehicle for a commercial business where I’ve put lots of equipment in and out of the car trunk and back seat. It has really held up. - 5.0
The best choice for me - five times running.

2023 Mazda 3 AWD Turbo hatchback I'm currently on my fifth Mazda and truly enjoying the driving experience. It all started with a 2009 Mazda 3 sedan. I then fell in love with my 2015 Mazda 3 GT hatchback, and loved my 2018 GT hatchback even more. I eventuallty traded up to a 2021 AWD Turbo hatchback, and now driving a 2023 hatchback with that same trim level. During that time I've learned that not everyone will appreciate the Mazda driving experience. Some people just want a vehicle that goes from Point A to Point B, and that's OK. But if you want to enjoy the driving experience of gettting from A to B, then you need to test drive a Mazda. If you currently drive a Mazda, then you probably understand what I mean. Like some of you, I've had a lot of cars from a lot of different brands, and one thing I've learned is that every vehicle is a compromise, a series of trade-offs on some level. Is the Mazda 3 a perfect car? Honestly, no. But then, there is no "perfect" car. Are there some things I'd like to see improved, sure. I could have picked a lot of other cars, but the Mazda 3 offers a lot of value for my money. It checks all of the boxes that are truly important to me, and I honestly can't see myself in anything other than a Mazda 3 as a daily driver.
