Auto Review | 2018 Mazda3 Grand Touring

April 18, 2018 by Whitney 8 Comments

I drive and review a lot of cars. Some I like, some not so much. However, when I’m able to test drive a Mazda I know I won’t be disappointed. So, when this 2018 Mazda3 Grand Touring pulled up outside my house I was thrilled! At first glance, I noticed this “Snowflake White Pearl” 4-door vehicle was super sporty. The lines and curves also made the car extremely chic, and the smooth, buttery parchment interior was the cherry on top!

During the week, I drove the 2018 Mazda3 back and forth from Columbia to Baltimore, twice. I also drove my regular routes around my neighborhood. On the highway, I gave it a little gas and quickly found out this car gets OUT! Despite the elevated speed, I still felt in control of the car. Major plus! With all the highway driving, the blind-spot monitoring feature came in very handy.

Navigating my way in and around parking lots was a breeze. Because the body of the car is on the smaller side, I was able to zip in and out of parking spaces effortlessly. Thanks to the rearview camera feature, I opted to back into most parking spaces without hesitation. Check out a few more of my favorite features below!

    Such a cute car! My next car will definitely have the blind spot sensors and back up camera and POWER SEATS, but I’m honestly glad that I learned how to parallel park without the camera. Still having just paid off my current car, my next one will be quite a ways out…

      You sound like me, lol! My next car will have a backup camera and blind spot sensors for sure. That’s one of the main reasons I love testing different models. I’m able to see exactly what I want in my next car.

    I’ve driven a couple of Mazdas with DriveShop and they’re always fun. I dig their white interiors. Thanks for the review!

    I love a car with lots of buttons and lights and gadgets, this fits the bill. Great review of the Mazda!

      Thank you! Me too, Robin! I love a car with gadgets, yet I like them hidden and not too “cluttery”. LOL! If that makes any sense, hahaha!
