Comment on New cars are great...
cordlesslamp@lemmy.today 8 months agohi, I’m looking to buy my first car and have my eyes on the 2015 Mazda 3 but it is a little bit over my budget. Would you recommend getting the 2010-2013 Mazda 3 in 2023? Or just downgrade to a 2015 Mazda 2?

The 2010-2013 ones have a few problems because they’re the first of a new series. And it was when the company was breaking off with Ford and still had crap American parts.
There was a 2012 update where they added the skyactiv engine and made a few improvements to the body and a new facelift. I recommend you get that one. It has better gas consumption and has better handling while maintaining the same interior. Although I think the interior dash lighting is blue instead of red.
You can see what I mean in the Wikipedia page here.
