2015 MazdaMazda3 i Grand Touring For Sale

I have loved this car the entire time I’ve owned it. No significant mechanical problems. But the paint job/finish? I’ve never had a car that scratches so easily. It has more scratches than all my past cars put together. Also little dings all over: no idea how? Shopping carts? It gets dented and chipped no matter what I do.

I've had this car for well over a year now and I love it just as much as when I first bought it. It's a gorgeous design inside and out. There's enough power to get you where you need to go and it has a really good handling and nice tight turning. When the tire air pressure sensor goes off it can be alarming and makes you think that you have a flat even if you're just a little low so don't panic when it goes off. In the snow it struggles a little, in the end it's still safe and can probably get you where you need to go but it tends to struggle up some hills. Overall a great car that is a joy to drive.

This Mazda 3 Sport model I own has 82K on it and not ONE rattle or squeak! They redesigned the car from the year before. The 2013's were known as being a tight car but for 2014 they improved the tightness a full 30% more! The skyactive engine really is something to write home about as it gets better mileage than any other car w/ a 4 cylinder w/out a turbo that I have owned. Two trips to the beach w/ my wife got me a full 41 mpg both times! The engine idles smooth as butter. Everything uncluding doors are very tight. The redesign for 2014 made this car look more like a BMW with the interior much more stylish than the 2013's and under. I did buy my Mazda with a reconstructed title 2 1/2 years ago after my other car got totaled. So I actually paid 8700.00 far under what a non totaled car would be which was 14-15K dollars. I have NEVER regretted buying it as my dad had his own car lots so I learned a lot about checking them out. I would highly recommend buying an OBD2 analyzer for not much money. You set it up with an app on your phone. It will show you a lot as far as any issues. Not everything but very valuable to have when shopping for a car. Mazda by the way has not been really good at figuring out how to market to an American buying public so prices are not in the Toyota or Honda range but somewhat less. But the reliability is almost as good so you get a better deal as long as the car was maintained properly. The Mazda 3 is not complicated to do maintanece on so another advantage. I also love the longer hood which they needed to do on the redesign in order to accomodate the longer exhaust manifold. But that redesign gives it a more sleeker look and maybe more sportier. When you lock your car and walk away if you stop and look back at your car you know your in love! And I still am! The one somewhat negative thing is that it is a little noisy from the inside when driving especially on the freeway. So I bought 6 large spray tar cans plus about 50.00 of soundproofing which did my trunk completely plus inside all 4 doors. The spray took care of all wheelwells plus the underside. The underside probably wasn't necessary as it has a solid plastic panel over much of the underside. I should have done the floor but I have gotten good results from what I did so haven't done that. The noise is quite a bit reduced but insulating the floor would get you most all the way there. And closing the doors gives you a "clunk" sound instead of a "chink" sound, makes you feel like your driving a higher priced car, well worth it. I did it myself but my last car I paid almost 1K to do mostly the same thing. It just takes some time to do. Bottom line, I wholeheartedly recommend this car!
