I got a 2015 S GT Hatchback with the new 6-speed manual. I wouldn't call it a sports sedan, but I do find myself regularly surprised at the surge of acceleration you can get with a fast clutch and liberal application of throttle. Fuel economy i'm getting on average has been consistently better than EPA estimates. 30 mpg average with a lead foot, 32-33 average if you're more gentle. It's also a lot smoother over bumps and around corners than I expected given what some reviews have said about suspension. The Leather is very high quality with good perforations, and the cabin feels spacious in both the front AND the back. Not to mention the exterior is sexy as hell. Great lines, and good use of LED accents without being overstated. Cons? It's loud in there. Quite loud. CDs, Pandora, and MP3's have to be cranked pretty high to be audible, although radio comes through consistently louder. If you're driving over a rough surface, though, it's positively cacophonous in there. Still, for the price-point, I'm not sure there's a better, more well-balanced car for performance, functionality, styling, build quality and refinement.

I bought my 2.5 in july of 2014 and absolutely love it. I agree with Brian in the fact that it feels underpowered when just cruising in non-sport mode, but it still accelerates smoothly. When I want more power i put it in sport mode and the torque is immediately there when i want it. It feels more like a turbo car with the low end torque. This is honestly the way it should be if you care at all about MPGs, which I do. Such a great car...not one squeak or rattle after 19,000 miles. tons of power and averaging 35.5mpgs.

I own this car. Bought it new 3 months ago. It's my third Mazda 3 (I've owned two generation Speed3's before this). I dig the car a lot but I have some gripes (mostly with the tech). Regarding what Brian said in his review about the head up display (Active Display) screen -- I recently had a problem w/ the visibility until I took it to the dealership and they basically disconnected the battery and plugged it back up...the system automatically re-calibrated and now visibility is perfect and right down my line of sight. Top Three Things I Love: 1) Design (both interior and exterior are in a WHOLE other class compared to what Mazda is traditionally known for). The fit and finish is perfect. No rattle, vibrations, harshness...I've gotten compliments on the exterior design as well (I chose the Soul Red color - same as the one in this video) 2) MPG. Though, Mazda claims you'll get nearly 31 combined AVG MPG...I drive 18 miles to work and that includes both hwy and city travel...I never seem to get anywhere CLOSE to 31 MPG..I think on average I've seen consistent numbers closer to 23-25 MPG which is WAY more desirable than my previous Speed3 that I was getting 19 in the city. I still love how it only cost me $17-19 to fill my tank up. The fuel efficiency is great for sure. 3) Never judge numbers on paper: Coming from a very turned Speed3 with over 300 WHP, This car can still move (In Sport Mode). I bought the auto and with Sport Mode, it definitely behaves almost like a V6 (and mostly due to the low weight). I used to think something around 185HP/185TQ would not be fun to drive. I was wrong. Bravo Mazda. Things I hate: 1) No light in the glovebox (no way of knowing what you're reaching for at night). Also no lock on the glovebox AND you can't even put an 8.5x11" paper in there without folding it into oragami. Seriously, the storage compartments are terrible in this generation. No cubby holes in the doors either. 2) The handsfree bluetooth is absolutely terrible and inconsistent in this year model compared to the outgoing 2010-2013 3's. My last speed3 had impeccable constant connection to my iPhone 6..... 3) The infotainment is cool, but needs work. It's slow on 'start-up' (especially when paired with a phone), and also the "apps" ... it's a joke. There are no apps you can download for the car and the ones that come integrated are useless. You get a traffic alert, but it's not integrated w/ nav like Brian said. Overall awesome car. I love mine. Only 8500 miles so far (yes I drive a lot).

The complaint Brian had regarding the car hunting unbearably higher gears I've found can be easily remedied by going into the sport mode. Press the sport mode and I find this is one of the few cars on the market where the "sport" mode actually does something. Instantly the car holds higher gears and the throttle response ad torque delivery becomes instantaneous, that button turns it into a sporty car!

Uh, actually it does. :/ Normal mode the ECU is only telling to Mazda 3 to generate 48-79 horsepowers in most applications. IN sport mode the ECU increases the power range by readjusting the valve timing so you can get to your 185 torques more readily. You think in normal economy mode the car is always accessing 185 torque? lol

For the ADD feature (the part that pops up showing that reflection of info in front of his view), he can adjust it with the settings. And also because it doesn't feel as powerful as it says on paper, is because Mazda3 is standardized to be fuel economic. So if he wanted to have more torque; more power, he just has to press the "sport" button close to the shifter to show him what the difference is between the 2.0L vs. the 2.5L.

The S Touring is around $26k with nav included. The GT model offers some niche stuff like the city braking, lane departure warning, moonroof and full leather seats (barely noticeable compared to the leatherette base seats). And the I-Eloop gives a 1MPG for a huge chunk of money. If you are a smart shopper, this car can be had for about $26k-$27 with practical features in it. You can look elsewhere, but without serious rebates the competition (especially with similar engine performance) at this price range all start to look bad.

I have the 2014 2.0L . Peppy engine, great steering and handling for its weight. Best drive of the class hands down. If you are worried about the money, the 2.0 L mid trim is your best bet at about 18 to 20 k. All trims can be had in manual in 2015. And for those not liking the nav/entertainment screen, most luxury brands have adopted this look. It's all a matter of personal preference. If you option out a 3 series or C class for all the features you get in a Mazda3 2.5 GT, you're looking at 48 to 55 K. You also cant compare the "base" model of a Verano or a Stang to a fully loaded Mazda simply on the merit of horses/torque. This car is like a "premium economy car" that bridges the gap between say a Civic and the premium 3 series. Drive one and see for yourself.

In China they don't have 2.5L version. it's 1.5 and 2.0. 2.0L has two options, one with two color seats, this shitty head-display, and bose sound system, another one in one color seats and normal dashboard without head-display and bose. I bought the second one and here is at 155 HP. Runs amazingly. It has the iStop function which cuts the engine when you wait for the green light to turn on, but the biggest downside of this car is bad GPS. It is difficult to find things, and difficult to use. It's ok when you go from one city to another when you have the straight line, but other than this, it is an amazing car. BTW: love two exhaust pipes, and those 18" wheels...

The real point of the rush to "entry" level by all the luxury brands is to get you hooked to the brand at a low purchase price, and bleed you from there on. No thanks, I'm not that dumb.

Because it has luxury features in it? Why do you object to options? You can have this car with the 2.5L engine for $26k with the 7" nav, without all the additional tech stuff.

Besides, at the $30k marker with all the techs, it contends with luxury compact sedans like Lexus and Buick rather favorably. Why is an expensive brand sticker more important to you than the actual car?
