The control knob can easily complete the extremely complex tasks of competitors.
Tach and speed readings are a model of readability.
Among the three families, hatchbacks cost $500 more than cars.
Because the hatch is better.

There are some other tidbits, such as floor mats and cargo mats. Our price is $28,510.
This is a high exchange rate for small cars, which is not entirely a sensible definition generally accepted in Kirkland\'s signature world.
\"This car is quiet --
So relaxed and pleasant driving without much effort-
Almost meditation. ” —
Jeff Sabatini\'s editing feature we don\'t waste time on increasing costs.
Clock 3 is only 6000 miles away, and one of its most ardent followers carries it back into the pole.
A new bumper cover cost $1423.
This happened in the crowded coffee.
The store parking lot laid a solid foundation for his defense.
The pole position is just the center.
The screen on the rearview mirror means that the prosecution also has a major case.
Then, when the swish front split splitter card left the fascia in the steep driveway, the price of our exterior packaging went up $471.

Then turn to the passenger church van that backed up and tried to reverse.
The grille, the front bumper and the Hood were all broken.
Fortunately, the latter does little damage and does not require new metal.
But the incident still sucked $1814 from our collection.
If it weren\'t for us, these three dates would be very cheap.
Our four regular service visits cost a total of $472 in oil change, tire rotation and air filters for engines and engine rooms.

This inconspicuous little hatchback is a real driving car that can take lessons on friction loops and load transfer.
Almost double the number of casters you find on most contemporaries, and with the change of turn load, the steering wheel of 3 is full of natural increase and decrease.
Mazda\'s expert adjustment to the pillar
Front and multi-link-
The rear suspension allows the driver to feel the impact of different loads in every corner, and your line will be significantly tightened or relaxed due to the throttle position.
However, the damping of the 3 is so tolerant that no one will doubt that there is a real hot hatch lurking inside, but only a typical civilized compact car. With a 7. 4-second zero-to-60 time, the 2. 5-
Four liters will never overwhelm the chassis of 3.
But its torquey, linear delivery encourages red line pull after Red line pull, 6300-
The speed fuel cut-off time is too early to feel at least 1000 rpm.
The light, the precise pad floats from the door to the door, with minimal effort, is the best of its dead breed.
Despite the heavy commute on the 3 th at Ann Arbor, during the time we were with us, we still saw an average of 31 miles.
Our car is simple but attractive.
Leather interior-
Mazda calls this beige and black \"almond\"
It looks rich and your friends will think the drinks are yours.
Mazda interior-
The design slogan can be summarized as \"very simple \".
\"There\'s nothing obvious about it, but everything is made of quality material.
Something as inconspicuous as a door pull is the elegant moment of satin silver, and it is almost impossible to find a flat surface.
There is an analog meter on the dashboard, a speed meter installed in the center.
What a perfect measure, with a brush-
Chrome-plated bezel and needle, Red profile and digital speed reading hidden below
The right quadrant, is displayed in the simple number you see on the Casio watch.
On the side of the tach is a digital reading of the gear indicator and odometer on the left side and a simple trip computer and fuel meter on the right.
3 Present important information in black and white clear way, no intention to impress, just to quickly convey the numbers you need.
Again, you will find that there are no thumbs, TouchPads or other gimmicks on the steering wheel, just the necessary buttons you expect them to be.
We have celebrated Audi\'s tactile team, which is an integral part of the design and engineering team, responsible for ensuring that the secondary control in its car has a normal highquality feel.
Mazda air conditioning and infotainment-
The control knob indicates that the company either hires such a team or has a part pipe from Ingolstadt.
Graphics on seven-
Inch information entertainment screen is clear and easy to read, and the menu structure is logical and orderly-
Increasingly rare condition.
The only mistake with this car was in the early days of its stay, when music from USB, information Entertainment hiccups
Although the iPhone shows that the song is still playing, the connected iPhone suddenly exits.
After disconnecting and reconnecting a few times, we gave up and switched to the radio only to find that it can only be played from the speakers on the right side of the car.
At this point, the voice command issued by the navigation system also stopped.
So we gave it to Microsoft.
Close and restart quickly-
Everything is fine.
We \'ve heard that other owners have similar issues as well, but the software update for the next service removes this issue forever.
None of us will avoid talking on Highway 3 on the weekend.
For 18 months in our hands, the little Mazda strolled to Maryland, New York City and Indy 500th, and the driver always came back with positive words.
After spending nearly four months with Mazda at Double J Cat Ranch in Darby, Montana, John Phillips called it a \"little gem of serious engineering.
\"Although we are obligated to do so on the contract, we find that there is little to complain about.
Our car brake pedals are mushy, a staff member was wondering if there was air in the system, and several staff members suggested we try to replace the brake pads.
Those of us who run radar detectors complain
The Shifter power outlet is behind the converter, causing the power cord to wrap around the rod.
But most of our criticisms are acrobatic performances.
When a staff member was asked to fill out the shortcomings column, he said he would rearrange the cuboid so that the shallow container was in front of the deeper container.
\"Yes,\" he wrote, \"it\'s really good.
\"The most obvious criticism of our 3 cars is the criticism never mentioned by any log scrawler: its $28,510 price, which is quite a big deal for this type of car
Every employee is dismissive, which fully illustrates the excellence of 3.
In fact, Phillips did solve the value problem, but he called it \"one of the few cars in the market today that are worth more than the cost \".
\"You can buy a lot bigger or more --
Powerful cars, or those with more
Badge of prestige
But spending the money you\'re willing to spend, it\'s hard to get something bigger than that.
The only point of 3 is bad. placed head-

You can turn off the projector, but the plastic panel is still raised.

5 not as powerful as the turbo of Volkswagen Golf, but it is more interesting to work.
-Mike Sutton \"if I was forced to marry a machine in the dystopian future, I would marry the infotainment knob.
Feels better than the twirly widget with the same functionality in Rolls-Royce Wraith.
\"This car is a little cute . \"
It looks good both inside and outside, and the front and rear seats are comfortable for long trips.
Jennifer Harrington \"when it\'s close to the end of the stop, the 3 cars feel like a new car in almost every way.
The ride is sublime, the interior is well maintained, and the infotainment system is a free quirk.
I hate the stupid show of active driving.

But most of the time, those of us at the Ann Arbor family office like to get it back.

The cost of running 3 is very low.
We haven\'t spent $400 on service in more than 30,000 miles.
What we don\'t like is the clear evidence of encountering an unjust universe.
If success is achieved by achievement alone, these three books will become best sellers of the same kind.
Instead, its sales are just a fraction of what its competitors enjoy, proving that many people have bought the wrong small car.
What\'s wrong: The front fascia of the moving layer of our optional exterior packaging conflicts with the slope and condition of the Phillips rugged lane, and the lower trim is lost.
The cost of replacing it so far is $471, bringing our total loss to $1895.

When Mazda wants us to return it, there will be blood.
Mazda PR: \"Shouldn\'t you be testing our car right now?
C/D: \"Who is this? What car? Go away. Wrong number.
Mazda 3 is the essence of lightness and agility, but it and I-beam.
Its response to the input is almost telepathic, especially with a satisfying bit-shifting device, a device that Volkswagen and BMW are proud.
You can get in and out of the throttle rudely without causing a grip on the power system.

Off is almost perfect.
While wind noise can be heard, NVH levels are very low for cars that are essentially economical.
When you are free, you will sometimes look at tach to see if the engine is still running.
The main and secondary control relationship is bang-on.
Turn to light but pleasant information.
The car used to travel 1000 miles in a day twice, but did not cause mental or physical damage to the driver.
Even the interior of the almond meets our requirements.
Although so far, the resistance is dirty, but bright and optimistic.
What we don\'t like is: OK, here\'s the picky place: 12-
Volt power outlets refer to the power cord of the radar detector and sometimes try to kill the shifter.
We would like to try the brake pads to see if we can get a slightly stronger brake pedal.
The front seats can use more lateral support. The Audi-like radio-
The volume control just behind the pad is still not intuitive after reaching 11 months. And the hood-
Release pull and fuel-
Flap release is sideby-
This means that you will accidentally open the hood at other fuel stations.
And, well, that\'s it.
The last time, the entire C/D staff was very happy to agree to do so, which is free beer on Friday.
What\'s wrong: nothing is wrong.
Well, a few radios.
Locking issues were reported, but after the software update for the second service, the issues seemed to disappear.

He felt bad about it, but at least he didn\'t spill coffee.

Where did we go: apart from a trip to Chicago, a quick blast to Indy 500th, and many short trips across Michigan, Mazda 3\'s biggest adventure so far is a trip in Montana, there it had a happy summer with John PhillipsJ Cat Ranch.
In the Big Sky Country, it goes to the trendy writer\'s paradise at Murray Hotel in Livingston, Montana, and also takes Phillips\'s motherin-
Law and the elderly aunt of Elkhorn hot spring, both women refused to take a warm bath naked.

After spending two consecutive weekends in the car, special editor Jeff Sabatini concluded: \"I will be happy to sign this agreement on any day before we reach 40,000 miles.
I love the 3: seat heater, it will stay where you leave when you turn off the car, the information entertainment system clear and intuitive interface, excellent ergonomics, A position-shifting device that can almost be teleptically moved, as well as a perfectly balanced steering and pedal.
The car was very calm, very relaxed and pleasant to drive, almost meditation.

The Volt power outlet is located at the bottom of the center stack, not the bin behind the console, so that the wires of his radar detector do not interfere with the shifter.
