2009 Mazda Mazda3 Pros and Cons A member in Colorado, United States Engine noise was annoying. |
|
2006 Mazda Mazda3 Pros and Cons Member2230 Quite a bit of road noise on the freeway. Due to the wide tires? |
|
2005 Mazda Mazda3 Pros and Cons Member2534 Like most sports like cars, you give up something to get the feel and the drivers experience. Part of this is the tire and the sound of the road. Not a problem around town...but for long distance driving it wears on you. |

2008 Mazda Mazda3 Pros and Cons sthomasdakota Inherent in a small 4-cyl car -- high rpm and rel. low weight mean road/wind noise & vibration are always evident at highway speed. |

2005 Mazda Mazda3 Pros and Cons Member206 On the highway, wind and tire noise are relatively loud. I realize this is somewhat nit picky, but it substantially diminishes the perceived refinement of the vehicle. |

2007 Mazda Mazda3 Pros and Cons A member in Arizona, United States 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. |

2008 Mazda Mazda3 Pros and Cons A member in Alberta, Canada "Sporty" exhaust drone will sound great to enthusiasts but may difficult to handle by others. |
|
2005 Mazda Mazda3 Pros and Cons Member153 large amount of road noise |
|
2008 Mazda Mazda3 Pros and Cons Member1791 A bit noisy, especially with the 17" tires. Same with wind noise. The standard 6 speaker radio, though above average, has trouble overcoming the noise on the highway. |
|
2006 Mazda Mazda3 Pros and Cons Member281 It is loud. The road noise may bother some. I do not find it distracting at all, but older customers, or those accustomed to competitor models like the Corolla or Civic will notice a difference. |

2007 Mazda Mazda3 Pros and Cons A member in California, United States Lots of tire and wind noise on the highway. |
|
2008 Mazda Mazda3 Pros and Cons Member1671 Road noise is more than 2009 Corolla and Matrix 2009. 2008 Civic was slightly more quiet than the Mazda 3. |
|
2006 Mazda Mazda3 Pros and Cons Member132 Tire noise (still have the forgettable stock Goodyear Eagle R/S...). I have the hatchback, which has intrinsically more cabin noise than the sedan. |

2006 Mazda Mazda3 Pros and Cons A member in North Carolina, United States There is only a single weather strip on the doors, so if you have noisy tires prepare for some background din. I am also hearing the rear axle more than i would have thought - hope it is just them noisy Z rated tires. |
