2019 Toyota Corolla Hatchback Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh All three cars manage to combine somewhat sporty handling with a liveable ride. While the Corolla Hatchback felt a touch firm over fairly small bumps, its suspension proved surprisingly compliant over larger ones. At around-town speeds noise levels seem fairly low, and they remain moderate even at highway speeds. Comparison vehicle: 2019 Mazda Mazda3 |

2014 Mazda3 - Mazda adds up-market refinement. It works. 2014 Mazda Mazda3 Pros and Cons acetech09 The most disappointing thing about the car, actually, was the ride smoothness. To some, that might be a very desired trait. And, for its handling, the ride was great. However, it did feel somewhat artifical and dampened. It corners very smooth and steady, more reminiscent of an Audi. I expected... |
2014 Hyundai Elantra GT Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh Here we have a clear dynamic victory for the Elantra GT over the Mazda3: the Hyundai rides much more smoothly, and somewhat more quietly as well. Those more interested in ride quality than handling will prefer what might be Hyundai's best chassis tuning to date. Ride quality still isn't among... Comparison vehicle: 2014 Mazda Mazda3 |

2014 Mazda3 s Grand Touring Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh I've read good things about the ride quality of the Mazda3 i. The Mazda3 s, though, rides with a little too much jiggle and jostle for mainstream tastes. Credit/blame a firmer suspension and lower profile tires (215/45WR18s on the s vs. 205/60HR16s on the i). A Ford Focus feels more... Comparison vehicle: 2014 Ford Focus |

2013 Mazda3 Skyactiv Hatchback 2013 Mazda Mazda3 Pros and Cons Member5987 The suspension can be pretty harsh over rough pavement. On the smooth pavement and highways, it's perfectly fine. I personally don't mind the stiff suspension but I can definitely see it being a problem for some people. |

Mazda 3 as good as the reviews, one of the best economy cars. 2013 Mazda Mazda3 Pros and Cons Member4849 Ride is on the firm side, due to sporty handling character, could be an area for improvement, the 2014 model is said to be better. |

2005 Mazda Mazda3 Pros and Cons Member5872 It's harsh. Really harsh. I think it might be fine in SoCal, but this is not a car for New England roads. |
|
2005 Mazda Mazda3 Pros and Cons Member5841 This is a sports-oriented car. So the harsher ride isn't necessarily negatice, just something to consider. My front strut broke. I assume this is becasue the car is tuned harder. Roads in Wi are bad. |

Excellent choice 2004 Mazda Mazda3 Pros and Cons A member in Colorado, United States harsh suspension is the trade off with awesome handling.... |

2012 Ford Focus SE Sport Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh My overall impression of the 2012 Focus is very positive. But what, exactly, is so impressive about this car? It's not easy to say. This is one of those cars where the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. But if I have to pick something, it's ride... Comparison vehicle: 2012 Mazda Mazda3 |

Fun, practical, reliable and budget friendly 2011 Mazda Mazda3 Love Letter Member5078 I feel lots of bumps, this is due to the firm suspension. Without this the handling would be poor. |

2012 Mazda Mazda3 Pros and Cons Member1348 Much more livable than a WRX. Less body roll and more control but slightly firmer. |
|
2011 Mazda Mazda3 Pros and Cons A member in New York, United States a little bumpy for the average daily commuter but then again, you buy a mazda for excellent handling, not the ride smoothness. for the price conscious, people might end up going for cheaper, smoother cars... |

2010 Mazda Mazda3 Pros and Cons Member4925 It is not a smooth riding car. The suspension is very stiff for performance and you feel every bump in the road. |
|
2006 Mazda Mazda3 Pros and Cons Member4667 Ride can be rough and choppy over challenging road surfaces due to the OEM suspension tuning. |

2008 Mazda Mazda3 Pros and Cons Member4320 The Mazda3 has relatively taught suspension with does decrease ride smoothness. While the passengers will not feel each bump in the road, it is still worse that most cars I tested in its class. |

2008 Mazda Mazda3 Pros and Cons Member4164 Firm but not uncomfortable. However, there is excessive road noise with the OEM Bridgestone Potenza tires. (Not a fan of that tire) |

2006 Mazda Mazda3 Pros and Cons Member4060 harsh over bumps |

2007 Mazda Mazda3 Pros and Cons Member4026 It was ok, nothing spectacular. |
|
2010 Mazda Mazda3 Pros and Cons Member4024 No complaints at all. Not as sporty as others I have driven, but for everyday driving, this was very plush. |
