Summary
Pros: handling, fit and finish
Cons: the seat is not comfortable to me
I sell BMW's and have driven them for many years.
I have decided, because I am planning to retire soon, to buy a car and not lease anymore.
I drove many cars, and found that the Mazda 3 is a wonderful car for the money.
It does not feel like a cheap car, and handles as well as any BMW I have driven. It does not have the power of the 3 series BMW, but it does just fine on the roads. It corners and handles so well.
And, the steering is so much easier than the BMW, that cannot turn a corner or make a u turn without two hands on the wheel.
And, of course the gas mileage, using regular gas as opposed to high test for the BMW is so much better.

IT'S AN EXTENTION OF ME
Pros: MANUAL TRANS
Cons: NOTHING AT THIS TIME
BOUGHT A MAZDASPEED3 WITH A MANUAL TRANS AND ITS EVERY THING I HOPED FOR. I ENJOY SHIFTING SMOOTHLY EVEN THOUGH IT IS A CHALLENGE. I HAVE CARS WITH AUTO TRANS AND THEY TAKE YOU TO A TO B, BUT ARE NOT FUN OR ENGAGING. IM 75YRS OLD AND DO NOT GO FAST BUT ENJOY DRIVING THIS CAR.

Summary
Performance Bang for Buck
Pros: Engine
Cons: Standard radio not great.
I needed a hatchback to transport my drums but did not want to move into one of the larger SUV's. I also wanted good accel. (8 sec 0-60). The 2.5 liter MAZDA 3 gave me that without a TUrbo and the need for premium gas. As a side benefit, very stable handling and a quick, sportyo the car ( I also wanted a proper gearbox, which is available in this model). I love the styling -very distinctive. I can now tell my car apart in a dark parking lot (The car is unique, so I would think it will be a love/hate thing).
The seats feel wonderful! Excellent side support and they remind me of my old Alfa.
Very good interior quality.
