Mazda Mazda3 Usados en Venta en Baltimore, MD

The car has been very solid overall. As it's an entry-level car, there are some build/trim issues that you have to live with (squeaks, rattles, generally mediocre quality of some parts), but the engine has never missed a beat, and the suspension/handling has been very good. The s Sport has a firm ride, but it's a good highway cruiser with low wind noise. It has not had a serious mechanical issue in the six years that I've owned it and now has 77,000+ miles on it.

I decided to purchase my Mazda3 after test-driving several other similar vehicles. I was in the market for a vehicle that could transport me a total of two hours of commute time. For this reason, I was looking for smaller, fuel-efficient vehicles. Because I was just starting my first full-time job, I was financing a car and did not want to spend over 20,000 dollars for the vehicle. I test-drove both the Mazda3 and a Mazda3 hatchback and wound up enjoying the feel of the Mazda3 more. Driving is fun for me, so I was happy to find a car that steers smoothly, can get off the line pretty quickly, and is comfortable to spend long commuting times in. I also enjoyed the comfy but sophisticated look and feel of the interior, as well as the sleek look of the exterior. To me, this car feels like more than a "starter" car! The car also has great visibility in mirrors and windows so I didn't even feel like blind spot monitors were necessary in this model. While I would love to have more space in the car for traveling or carrying more stuff, the smaller Mazda3 was the right choice for me at this time. Someday, I hope to upgrade to a larger crossover-style Mazda to get that extra space.

Overall the Mazda 3 has been a reliable commuter car for the past nine years. It has been driven approximately 55 miles per day Monday thru Friday on the daily commute, including both highway and non highway driving. It was purchased mainly as a commuter car to replace poor mpg performance from the car that was traded in.
