Agree, great all around car.
The Mazda3 starting with its refresh in 2013 had by far and away the best interior of that segment even at the base level (simple stuff like soft touch plastic) and felt more "connected" to the road (if that's even a word I can use here). These two factors impressed me enough that I chose it over the competition back then. Looking at them now, I still would choose the current Mazda3 over a current Corolla or Civic as I think the interior design and materials are just much more refined.
