Used 2025 Mazda Mazda3 Hatchback 2.5 s Preferred

I chose the Mazda 3 initially for its 6-speed automatic transmission. Most other manufacturers have gone over to offering only CVTs for their commuter cars. The engine offers a comfortable amount of power for the size of the car, and can be both zippy or economical, depending on driving style. The powertrain is tried and true, which bodes well for long-term reliability. The interior has a premium feel, and the design is both minimalist and tactile. Instead of flashy touchscreens, there are nobs and clicky buttons. The infotainment system is controlled by a wheel and buttons, which is great for minimizing distraction. The car is great to drive. The interior feels like it wraps around the driver. Commuting is a joy.
