I'm considering buying one used but I have no experience with Mazda. What are their build qualities like? Is this a decent car? I heard they rust easily, is this right?
More info: - Going to use it as my daily drive to work, friends places, occasional road trips - Frequent suburb driving & I have to drive through a metropolitan area a few times a month - Need space for hauling storage bins and small furnishings, sometimes camping gear - Automatic casual-fag - Don't care or like car "infotainment" systems (some 2014 models don't have these) - I REALLY like the look of the m3 redesign, but I will consider other hatchbacks
Thx

Current drive is a 2004 Chevy Impala I really do love it, but I need a hatch due to a new job. I rarely have more than one other passenger anyway.
Asher Murphy
Mazda are decent though, my buddy has a 14 6 and it's actually fun to drive compared to similar models.
Tyler Morales
From my understanding, 2014 and above Mazdas do not use Ford parts anymore.
Dylan Fisher
Have you considered the Fit?
Tyler Reyes
Why would you need a hatch for your job? If your job dictates the car you should have they should supply it.
Charles Sanchez
My best friend has a Fit. The suspension feels really tight and the car feels like its going to break when you go over bumps. The interior is really roomy but I'm not a fan of how it feels when you drive.

I buy, repair, and re-sell antiques, furniture, used items, etc. Freelance. I'm getting tired of shoving things in the back seat and trunk of my sedan or having to ask to borrow other people's hatches.

I feel it, I drive a 2015 and I kind of enjoy how it always feels like its going to fall off the road. Not many other hatches I would suggest then. The Mazda 3 was my second choice. Go for it OP
Dylan Wilson
I'd do it. I have a Mazda 3 and it's a great car. The mpg is good as well.
Christopher Robinson
Get a truck or a van.
John Garcia
Nah, I rarely deal with items big enough to warrant a van or truck. I'm looking for something smaller and better on gas than my 04 Impala.

Get something older. You'll hate beating up your new car.
Leo Ross
Do it faggot.
Mazda 3s are by far the best beaters/econoboxes out there.
Kevin Morris
You mean fords dont use mazda parts anymore. (Except they do) Because ford cant come upwith their own shit
Angel Wright
Mazda 3 is the only new car in this segment worth buying. It's literally perfect, apart from the 2.0L being a little slow. I would advise getting a manual though. You'll learn quick and once you get the hang of it, you'll love it. t. someone who learned manual on a 2016 mazda3 Also, paint the chrome parts black, it looks dope desu senpai
Josiah Watson
they're also chick cars hatch, though, not really
Christopher Sanders
>Because ford cant come upwith their own shit mazda should be grateful ford didn't shut them down and bring all the r+d to dearborn or cologne
Owen Sanchez
I have a lot of Mazdas for my fun cars, but my wife has a new Focus and that thing is great. Love the build quality, ride, and interestingly enough, the DSG trans.

>the DSG trans Yeah it's great until it fucking breaks
