2007 Mazda Mazda3 Pros and Cons at TrueDelta: Owner Pros and Cons by mahmood.sayed

Interior styling

Great interior. Nice plastics and feel..lots of great little touches (ex: LEDs that put a soft glow on the center console at night).

Powertrain performance

Strong engine that is rev-happy and ready to go whenever you want...almost urges you on. Transmission is smooth enough (5sp auto)...tiptronic shift is useful for highway merging and back-roads fun.

Materials & workmanship

Everything seems well put together. Materials are of a high quality feel (except the carpet...it seems like fluffed cardboard). Body panel gaps are small and consistent, no squeaks or rattles after 10k miles.

Rear seat room & comfort

This IS a smaller car. That being said, if the front seats are all the way back, people in the back had better sit Indian-style on the seats.
