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

Reliability & durability

Research showed this car to be as reliable as the Honda Civic that I was shopping it against. Experience has borne this out.

Powertrain performance

I have the S model which has a little more spunk. Still not what anyone would call a performance car. Much better than the Civic though.

Price or payments

Price/option was a win over the Civic.

Fuel economy

Again, not bad. I average 26 mpg around my suburban town. Still not as good as the Civic.
