| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2010 | 4dr Hatch 167-horsepower 2.5L I4 6-speed manual FWD |
Tilt and telescopic wheel plus the adjustments with the drivers seat had me in a very good/comfortable driving position. Being comfortable allows me to concentrate on the drive ahead instead of being distracted by squirming around in the seat. see full Mazda Mazda3 review |
| 2010 | 4dr Hatch 167-horsepower 2.5L I4 6-speed manual FWD |
Being a 5 door hatch, there is plenty of room back for 2 full size adults or 3 kids/teenagers. The versatility of the hatch makes it feel like a Mini SUV. see full Mazda Mazda3 review |
| 2010 | 4dr Hatch 167-horsepower 2.5L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Very comfortable and form fitting. My butt and back feel supported. Leg room is great. see full Mazda Mazda3 review |
| 2009 | 4dr Hatch turbocharged 263hp 2.3L I4 6-speed manual FWD |
Kids easily able to get in/out of back (4-doors) and often able to take co-workers to lunch (both of which is much more of a hassle with 2-doors). see full Mazda Mazda3 review |

The Mazda3 is not a vehicle for transporting more than 2 people. The backseat is cramped for a full-size adult. However, when required, they will fit. see full Mazda Mazda3 review |
| 2011 | 4dr Sedan 104-horsepower 1.6L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
Seating room is borderline for 2 adults, particularly leg room. 3 adults virtually impossible. see full Mazda Mazda3 review |

Sweet. sounds great, shifter is amazing. Clutch... everything. Perfect powertrain. see full Mazda Mazda3 review |
| 2011 | 4dr Hatch turbocharged 263hp 2.3L I4 6-speed manual FWD |
As advertised, power is excellent! I use it as my daily driver and it satisfies the needs for commuting and yet it can accelerate like my 2004 Corvette. see full Mazda Mazda3 review |
| 2011 | 4dr Sedan 167-horsepower 2.5L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Excellent acceleration and economy balance see full Mazda Mazda3 review |

Base model has more then enough power and 5 speed auto transmission has little to non-existant shift shock. Very well made and designed. see full Mazda Mazda3 review |
| 2010 | 4dr Sedan 167-horsepower 2.5L I4 6-speed manual FWD |
2.5 engine power is very good and engine is very smooth. see full Mazda Mazda3 review |

Again, it reacts quickly. It is not that quick imperically, but there is plenty of torque in real world driving conditions (when RPMs are below 3000). see full Mazda Mazda3 review |

2.5L non-turbo is fun, but I should have waited for the turbo. see full Mazda Mazda3 review |

Tons of power and torque at almost any speed and in any gear. see full Mazda Mazda3 review |

Lack of AWD was reason #1 I did not buy. End of story. see full Mazda Mazda3 review |

It's no contest. The GTI is much more powerful and the engine smoother overall. see full Mazda Mazda3 review |

Not enough HP and Torque for hilly situations. see full Mazda Mazda3 review |
