2015 Mazda 3 S Grand Touring

2015 mazda 3

We enjoyed driving around the 2015 Mazda 3 S Grand Touring for the week.  It was such a fun car review despite all the snow we had I was still able to drive when it wasn’t snowing.  I have such a passion for trying new cars lately and I really loved the 2015 Mazda 3 S Grand Touring for many reasons.  One of my favorite was the gas mileage.  The 2015 Mazda 3 S Grand Touring gets 33mpg (29 city, 40 highway).

I drove it all over Jersey and didn’t need to fill the tank until the 6th day we had it.  It had a few different driving modes and they were really responsive, especially the sports mode.

The Titanium Flash Mica is such a beautiful color, just like the 2015 Mazda CX-9 we recently reviewed.  While the Mazda 3 is smaller than the Mazda 6 it still has plenty of room for our family.  We fit comfortably with a car seat in the back.  When it comes to safety the Mazda 3 received a Top Safety Pick + from IIHS making it highly recommended from us as well.  Whenever we review a car or even think of purchasing the safety is the most important feature of a car for us.

Our favorite features include:

• 184 Horsepower, 185lb-ft torque
• 18in alloy wheels
• halogen fog lights
• auto on/off bi-xenon headlights
• paddle shifters (fun!)

It was an extremely comfortable vehicle to drive, even on a 2 hour trip.  The trunk space was great for our overnight bags, shopping and we were originally nervous that there wasn’t enough until we opened it up and saw it was nice and roomy!  The 2015 Mazda 3 is an excellent car and it would be a great first car or even perfect for a small family.
