Price of the Mazda Mazda3: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2011 4dr Sedan 148-horsepower 2.0L I4
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 Well priced, very reasonable, plus they often have 0% financing.
2010 4dr Sedan 148-horsepower 2.0L I4
5-speed manual FWD		 When doing my research prior to purchasing a new vehicle, the Mazda very quickly rose to the top as the value leader in the segment. It offers a ton of higher-end standard features, such as auto headlgihts, rain-sensing wipers, and bluetooth standard for a price lower than most of its competitors.
2010 4dr Hatch 167-horsepower 2.5L I4
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 Super cheap.
2010 4dr Hatch turbocharged 263hp 2.3L I4

2010 4dr Sedan 167-horsepower 2.5L I4
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 Lot of features available for the price ... got nice leather seats for less money than I had in my Toyota SUV.

5-speed manual FWD		 Very cheap... I bought an 09 brand new off the lot that was fitted with 18" chrome rims and Mazdaspeed exhaust and cold-air intake. All of that was added from the dealer and it still only cost me $360/month. And that is in CANADA...Unbelievable deal

5-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 Price/option was a win over the Civic.
2007 4dr Hatch 156-horsepower 2.3L I4

2007 4dr Sedan 148-horsepower 2.0L I4

4-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 I was able to purchase my car with ABS, side airbags, auto trans, sunroof, 6 speaker stereo, 17" wheels, the aforementioned nice interior, and 2.3L motor for under $20k, which seemed like a good value to me.
2005 4dr Hatch 160-horsepower 2.3L I4

2005 4dr Hatch 160-horsepower 2.3L I4

Price of the Mazda Mazda3: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2012 4dr Hatch 155-horsepower 2.0L I4
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 The price difference between this and the Elantra is a few thousand dollars when looking at features. When adding extended warranties, the gap widens.
2010 4dr Hatch 167-horsepower 2.5L I4
6-speed manual FWD		 Decent value, but too expensive considering the drivetrain problems I have experienced.
2010 4dr Hatch 167-horsepower 2.5L I4
6-speed manual FWD		 Another dealership would not even consider discounting the 2010 Mazda 3, only offering incentives on remaining 2009 models.
2009 4dr Hatch 156-horsepower 2.3L I4
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 high price of car and interest
2009 4dr Hatch 156-horsepower 2.3L I4
5-speed manual FWD		 Discounts are harder to come by than other brands, particularly domestic automakers due to the popularity of the 3.
2008 4dr Hatch turbocharged 263hp 2.3L I4
6-speed manual FWD		 I have no complaints about price or payments. Car is best buy for the performance and a blast to drive. Overall cost may be excessive for some if not interested in handling and performance. Also, car requires premium fuel.
2008 4dr Sedan 148-horsepower 2.0L I4
4-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 Price was too high for the features that came with it
2007 4dr Sedan 156-horsepower 2.3L I4
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 It certainly cost less than the TSX, but for the $3-5k difference, I got a LOT more than that value in performance, handling, features, craftsmanship... This was one of my biggest deciding factors.
2006 4dr Hatch 160-horsepower 2.3L I4
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 It came out more than 5k higher than the Elantra, cash purchase price. (My wife and I always pay cash).
