For such a stylish well-equipped car that has leather seating as an option, I ask myself why there would not be any heated seats or mirrors offered with the leather package or as a separate option. The Mazda 3 is certainly easy to live with and with such an impression of quality and substance that should be found in a 30 000$ car, it is obvious why so many people are buying them in Quebec.

On a final note and as a little tip, look into 15" winter tires and wheels as a cost cutting measure.

Good stuff:
Handling
Top notch interior

Not so good stuff:
Fuel consumption
Heating / defrost slow
