From The Experts

Things we like

Multiple engines: The Mazda 3 comes with multiple engine choices, all with AT. The 1.5-litre SkyActiv engine is the entry-level option.

Multiple sizes: You can choose between the hatchback or the sedan. Hatchbacks are practical city vehicles, while the sedan offers a more relaxed ride.

Looks: The Mazda 3 has sporty looks. The car has an athletic vibe with a matte finished sporty grille, 16-inch wheels, and LED headlights.  The body curves are aerodynamic.

Agile handling: The Mazda 3 is known for agile handling. But that doesn’t require an ultra-powered engine. The handling is aided by low ground clearance and the 6-speed AT.

Things we don't like

Rear visibility: Because of the shape and design of the roof, some drivers may complain of poor visibility behind them. Most hatchbacks present some obstacles in terms of sightedness.

Back seat: The back seat of the Mazda 3 is crammed. The legroom in the 2nd row is just 35 inches. Three adults won’t fit into the rear seat.

Limited colors: The Mazda 3 doesn’t have many colors to choose from. It currently comes in 2 colors. Its rivals are more generous.

No ventilation: Even the top-level model doesn’t have driver’s seat ventilation.
