Miles Overview
The Mazda3 is a compact car offered as both a sedan and a hatchback, positioned as a more premium alternative to mainstream rivals. Its competitors include the Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla, and Hyundai Elantra, but the Mazda3 leans more toward upscale feel and driving fun. The Mazda3 handles corners with poise and steering that feels direct, making it one of the more engaging cars in its class. Inside, the cabin is trimmed with soft-touch materials and a clean design that rivals more expensive cars. The hatchback body offers flexible cargo space, though rear-seat room is tighter than some rivals. The Preferred sits in the middle of the Mazda3 hatchback range, below the Premium and above the S Select Sport, adding a moonroof, leatherette seats, and a power driver's seat. This one pairs the 2.5L I4 with four-wheel drive and the six-speed automatic, so grip is strong in all weather and the combined 28 mpg combined is reasonable for AWD.
