Why it stands out

The 2014 Mazda MAZDA3 marked a clear move upmarket for the model, trading the more conservative look of its predecessor for a sleeker exterior and a more premium feel throughout. It still kept the compact-car formula intact, with hatchback and sedan body styles, almost identical dimensions to the previous generation, and a low-slung, sporty appearance. Inside, it leaned into a driver-focused cabin with a stylish layout, while remaining competitively priced.

What helps the 2014 Mazda MAZDA3 stand out is how much equipment it brought for the money. Canadian models were offered with 2.0-litre or 2.5-litre Skyactiv engines, and higher trims could be had with Mazda Connect, a seven-inch display, satellite navigation, a rear-view camera, and satellite/internet radio integration. The car also offered a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission, and the Skyactiv engines were praised for revving easily and delivering excellent fuel economy by both real-world and Natural Resources Canada criteria.

There are a few trade-offs to keep in mind. The 2014 Mazda MAZDA3 was generally solid, but it is not as reliable as a Toyota Corolla or a Honda Civic, and premature brake wear is a common issue, especially with pre-facelift cars. The infotainment system can also be glitchy. Even so, its blend of style, value, efficiency, and driver appeal makes it an especially attractive used compact car.
