While this car had a few problems, we found that fixing the 2014 Mazda 3 Touring was an easy and enjoyable process. Some of high points include an easy-to-change engine air filter, very accessible fuses in the engine bay, and a straightforward location for the spare tire and jack kit to allow for reliable flat tire servicing.
On the other hand, the problematic low points on the 2014 Mazda 3 Touring include having to remove the air filter housing in order to access the transmission dipstick, replacing the headlights, and setting the clock. These procedures will require a few more complicated steps than what you will usually find on similar models, and won’t make for reliable upkeep.
