Reviewer score 76% (normalized by Neofiliac)The revised SPCCI engine is a generally well-mannered four-cylinder. The slick, light, precise shift quality of the car’s six-speed manual gearbox is a particular highlight. Medium-firm suspension gives the 3 a slightly terse and clipped-feeling ride over an uneven country road.
Pros
- Comfortable to drive
- Excellent infotainment system
- Decent handling
Cons
- Lack of standard-fit sunroof

Reviewer score 78% (normalized by Neofiliac)The Mazda Connect infotainment system is a bit of a drag. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard so you aren't forced into using the native system. G-Vectoring Control Plus is standard on all Mazda3 hatchbacks. The hatchback looks great but it isn't as spacious as a Honda Civic.
Pros
- Gorgeous interior
- Powerful turbocharged engine
- Excellent infotainment system
Cons
- Expensive for a hatchback
- Lacks all-wheel drive
