What owners say
"Overall, drivers really enjoy the 2016 Mazda MAZDA3 for its great fuel economy, reliability, and fun driving experience. They appreciate the vehicle's attractive design and affordable features compared to competitors. However, some drivers were less impressed with the interior, specifically the setup of the instrument cluster and the feeling of the enclosed hatchback space."
I was recently in a terrible head on collision in this model... thanks to the amazing safety features in it, my fiancé and i were able to walk away with minor bumps and bruises.
July 26, 2022A 2016 Mazda3 is an economic, but spunky little auto that rates high both in reliability and fun. Bonus features increases its desirability. Great maneuverability. Breaking a 35-year Honda Civic habit to enjoy this relatively unknown model.
January 31, 2022I own one. Great milage and reliable. Fun tho drive too. Would recommend

June 24, 2023Outstanding car. I chose the Mazda because I could get more features at a cheaper price than I could with Honda, Toyota or other small cars
December 17, 2020Good little car, personally didnt like the interior as much as other hatchbacks, it felt more enclosed. The instrument cluster had a different setup, I wasnt a fan of the tiny tachometer. But it does have good acceleration, decent ride for its size, and great handling. If you can stay reserved and not have too much fun, its good on gas as well.
September 25, 2020Great fuel economy and fun to drive, also a very reliable car.
August 9, 2020It is just what we were looking for! Fun to drive and economical too!
March 29, 2021Good looking priced right great gas mileage! Liked the idea of moon roof!
May 25, 2020Cant say I remember this specific car as I was checking a lot of Mazda 3s. I do like them over most other smaller cars especially the sport models.
June 18, 2021The car was in bad condition. Dirty, one of the side view mirrors was broken. It was missing a fog light in front. The brakes were bad on the car
