The Mazda3 is a fun but practical car, offering excellent value for the money. Handling is precise and very responsive. Build quality and reliability are outstanding. It’s cheap to operate and fuel economy is average — not bad, not great. It has at attractive styling, particularly for teens and other young drivers.

The current lease deal offers a $216 a month lease payment, 36 months, 12K miles per year (36K mile, total), no security deposit, and $2000 down payment. If you can’t make the $2000 down payment, you can still get a good deal, although the payment will be higher.
