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.
Actually when I got my F30 I did a side by side comparison with my friend's Mazda which had materials not too far in quality from mine (I have a relatively lower spec 3 series with sensatec). When driving, actually, the road noise is comparable with my car and it has less build quality issues
