2007 Mazda Mazda3 Pros and Cons at TrueDelta: Owner Pros and Cons by stvallred

Handling
after 30k miles it is still tight and crisp. the light weight and balance make it easy to throw around, yet it feels solid.
Exterior styling
a personal preference, but, the 5 dr hatch is in my opinon one of the best looking cars on the road, especially when price is considered.
Materials & workmanship
very solid, 30k and no issues or problems. durable finishes inside that hold up well, except, carpet is a little weak/cheap. It is driven hard and is still as solid as the day I drove it off the lott.
Fuel economy
lower than others in the class, but, a price you pay for the added performance. I would not trade that, but, it would be nice if they could keep the performance and improve mileage. if mileage is a major issue for you, this might bug you.
Quietness
it has a harsher/noisier ride, but, part of that is due to the performance and the tires that come std. i got new tires, a little sacrifice on handling, but the road noise is much better.
