Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
We pit three stylish family hatchbacks against each other - the Mazda 3, Audi A3 and BMW 1 Series. Mazda 3 chris: just my opinion. I do a lot of driving. Can't beat the Japanese Vehicles. Last 4 were: 2 Subaru's, 2 Mazda's Each ONE got over 300K miles, before i got rid of them, and they still ran. I simply got to the point where I wanted something newer. I do all my own repairs. (rarely even needed, considering the miles I put on) and i find them easy to work on as well. my 2nd Mazda I just bought is a 2015 Mazda 3 hatchback. I'm getting 44 mpg (Mazda understates MPGs on this model) and the car handles like a dream.

I own three mazda, two Mazda threes and a Mazda six. I love these cars but they are not the roomiest cars in the backseat. Fantastic in the front seat in the trunk space is extremely small. I know because I carry golf clubs in my Mazda six, you could never fit four sets of golf clubs in there. I have a 2016 Mazda three 2017 Mazda six and a 2018 Mazda three. The front seats are great the backseats are minimal.

This is the video that made me decide on a Mazda 3, 6 years back. I've driven a Lexus, a Mini sport, a VW, a Peugeot, a BMW, a Skoda, and been on a Mustang, amongst others. Mazda feels much better if you drive like someone who -drag races- all the time, especially around curvy roads - I agree about it being good value for money. And man, the brakes and sensitive wheel response, nothing like it! -

Just sold my 116i for a Mazda 3, both generations in this video. Have to say that the difference in quality for me is stark in the front, the Mazda feels nicer which was a surprise. Also I found less road noise in the Mazda. In the rear the difference is the other way, the Mazda has no vents and the seats are frankly a bit crap. But I sit in the front so who cares!

i have the mazda, absolutely love the car, however i'm going to disagree with you on the handling, especially at high speeds, you have to work very hard not to lose the car in tight corners, otherwise, it's an amazing car to drive

I love my reliable Mazda-3 and wouldn't give it up for a high maintenance Audi or base model bimmer. Most ppl get rid of German cars as soon as the warranty runs out and for a good reason. Zoom-zoom baby

Somewhat related: just bought a Mazda CX-5 GT premium package. Best Buy ever.
I miss my Audi TT but i finally get my money-s worth without the car breaking down every 4 months

The Germans don't actually hold their value better, at least not in my market (Australia. They depreciate like mad because of how unreliable they become after 5 years.

The Mazda is the best looking, fastest, best equipped, roomiest, most reliable, better to drive, etc.
Bit of a no brainer, really.

Today is the 26th February 2021. I'm sure that the Mazda has had far less issues than these two rivals after nearly 7 years!
