What are some common problems with the Mazda 3?
I was thinking about buying a used Mazda 3. I’m in the midst of my research, and I just want to make sure it’s a reliable car. Are there any common problems with the Mazda 3?

- Engine misfiring due to carbon buildup in the throttle body
- Rattling in the rear of the car caused by a faulty rear brake light mounting
- Problems with the trunk closing due to the degradation of the surrounding rubber
- Infotainment system resetting its settings without approval
- Excessive brake pad failure due to the brake pad rubbing against the rotor
Every generation of the Mazda 3 comes with its problems, so asking the seller about any issues is your best bet. You can either ask them to fix it, get a lower price for the car, or make a plan to get repairs done before you head out on the road.
