2013 Mazda3 Grand Touring Wrap Up
Here is my 2103 Mazda3 Review. After driving this car around for the last week here are some of my thoughts!!
Well, really? What’s not to love about the 2013 Mazda3? My gas mileage for the week? 41 miles to the gallon. WHAAAAAA?!?! Seriously? A four-seater! Not a little mini car! A four-seater, comfortable car with all the perks. Cruise control, navigation, Bluetooth, and SkyActiv Technology comfy car!
Here are a few of my favorite attributes for the 2013 Mazda3 Grand Touring car.
First, the gas mileage. (I KNOW you’re tired of hearing this but really?!?! I live in Southern California, I’m paying $4.65 a gallon! 41 miles to a gallon is ammmmazing!!
Keyless entry. LOVE love LOVE the blind spot indicator. The side mirror shows a warning lite icon of a car in your blind spot. It also beeps at you if you ignore the warning light. (See a picture on this post)
The turn signal indicator volume control. I’ve NEVER seen that in a car! LOVE that!!
SMS text message delivery and reply! USB link up. Full-color adjustable navigation system.
Sunroof. If I can’t have a convertible I love a sunroof!
Three Homelink buttons on the rear view mirror. Heated seats with 5 levels. Heated side mirrors! Dual climate control. 2 power outlets, 60/40 split rear seat. Large trunk space.
The hidden cup holders give the front seat a nice clean look.
Hidden compartment in the arm rest which includes a tray and a storage space large enough to hold cd’s and my wallet. Along with the USB connector. I’m sure an iPad Mini would fit in there too if someone wants to send me one to test my theory?? Ya, know just sayin’……

Disclosure I received a complimentary week driving the Mazda3 Grand Touring for the purpose of my review. (They aren’t letting me keep this one either I checked) No other compensation was provided. The opinions are mine and 100% honest. I have not been influenced in any way.

The blond spot indicator sounds pretty cool!
Lisa F.
Turn signal indicator volume? That’s kinda cool. I’m big on using turn signals and wish others would, too.

This is some awesome gas mileage and it sounds like it has everything I would need! Turn signal volume control is not something I’ve ever heard of, but then again, I’m used to older vehicles! Thanks for your review, the car sounds very nice 🙂
Lisa Brown
The gas mileage is fantastic. I have always liked Mazda. I had an MPV and loved it.
Tina Kohrman
Thank you for your amazing review. I love the fact that this gets 41 mpg that is so awesome.
Cheryl Grandy
We have a 2008 Mazda3 and love it. Next car will probably be a 2013 or 2014 Mazda3. We already have some of the great features you mention – looking forward to getting the new features too!.
Sue Hull
This is one awesome car!I live in the East Bay and gas is $4.81,so ridiculous!I love all the features on it. 🙂
tobyhir
I own one! I bought it in 2010 and love it! My silver lightning I call it! VERY HAPPY WITH MY PURCHASE!
Sylvia Zajis
This sounds like a truly exceptional car. The price is comparable for this vehicle but it’s not something that the average working single mom can afford unfortunately.
anna
It has such great mileage! I wish I can afford that
charj
The Mazda3 is so cute, plus has useful features. What a great car.

Maria Iemma
I am very impressed with this car, the look, the accessories and the 41 miles per gallo is out of this world
Andrea
I can’t even imagine having a car with that kind of gas mileage. Loving all the new perks they come up with in cars now.
terri
i used to have a mazda and i loved it. i think my favorite thing about this one is the volume control on the turn signal. i HATE the sound of a turn signal. i always turn the dang thing off while sitting at a light.

i love these cars. heated seats are great
ann
Wow those heated seats and mirrors would be great for them cold winter days. It go great gas mileage too. The blind spot indicator I havent heard of before but that is a real good thing to have on your car. Thanks for the info
Cheryl Rahkonen
As if the gas milage alone wasn’t impressive but 5 levels on the heated seat and the blind spot indicator really impresses me. I will definitely be looking at the Mazda when I get a new car.
Tammy S
This car sounds perfect! I love that it’s not to big but big enough for a family. It has plenty of room to store and hold people. I love the blind spot indicator!
Rusu Alexandru
Mazda 3 is perfect for any family!
Shamara Catama
The interior of this car looks so luxurious! Definitely wish I had a car like this!
kathy pease
Now that is riding in style if I were in the market for a new car I would definitely consider this 🙂
Maria Iemma
I would love to own a car like the Mazda 3. I love the gps, the volume control with the turn signal, the good gas mileage…I currently drive an old clunker that has no personality.

When the kids are all away at college, I’ll get myself one of these wonderful smaller cars. I miss the lower gas mileage, pre-van.

It is amazing the features that come on some cars these days. This one sounds like a dream between the gas mileage, heated seats, and the blind spot indicator. Thanks for the great review.

That is really great gas mileage! I think that would sell me alone, but I do love the keyless entry, the sunroof and the blind spot indicator!
