Exterior - What the Auto Press Says

Even several years following its last redesign, the Mazda 3 still makes a strong, bold statement as either a sedan or hatchback. 

• "The styling is totally bad-boy tough." - AutoWeek
• "The Mazda3 has far more visual presence than you'd expect from a car with a Japanese nameplate. The designers worked hard to give this car the kind of character that will set it apart from other compact cars, and the result is a surprisingly bold look." -- New Car Test Drive
• "Distinguished by taut, chiseled styling and handsome details inside and out, the Mazda 3 gives the impression of a junior sport sedan." -- Edmunds
