The period from 2009 to 2012 covers the second generation of the Mazda3, which featured distinctive “smiling” grille styling and an updated interior. The hot-hatch MAZDASPEED3 was also redesigned for the second generation, though its 2.3L turbocharged engine carried over from the previous generation

• Engine options:
  • 2.0L 4-cylinder, 148 hp (2009)
  • 2.0L 4-cylinder, 144 hp (2010–2011)
  • 2.0L Skyactiv 4-cylinder, 155 hp (2012)
    2.5L 4-cylinder, 167 hp
• Transmission options:
  • 5-speed manual, 6-speed manual (2.5L), 5-speed automatic, 6-speed automatic (Skyactiv) 

• 2010 model issues: It’s best to avoid the 2010 model year, which had the most complaints, including premature clutch failure and suspension problems.
• Transmission control module (TCM): A widespread issue in automatic transmission models is failure of the TCM, which can cause erratic shifting or complete loss of power.
• Premature clutch wear: Manual transmission models, particularly from the 2010 model year, are known to have premature clutch failure.
• Rust issues: This generation is susceptible to rust, particularly in northern climates where salt is used on roads.
• Melting dashboard: Dashboards can become sticky or “melt” after prolonged sun exposure.
• Defective TPMS sensor valve stems: A common issue is the corrosion and breaking of the metal stems for the tire pressure monitoring system.
• Rear suspension noise: Many owners report rattling or clunking from the rear suspension, often caused by loose sway bar links. 

• Engine: 2.3L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine, 263 hp and 280 lb-ft of torque.
• Transmission: 6-speed manual transmission.
• Drivetrain: The car is front-wheel-drive but uses a limited-slip differential to help manage the power and minimize torque steer 

• • Engine reliability: The MZR 2.3L DISI engine can be unreliable if not properly maintained, especially on cars with modifications or a hard life.
  • Fuel pump issues: Early failure of the high-pressure fuel pump (HPFP) was a critical issue, and many owners upgrade to aftermarket pumps for better reliability.
  • Boost leaks: Due to the high turbo pressure, boost leaks from cracked intercooler piping or loose vacuum lines are a common problem.
  • Torque steer: Because all 263 horsepower is sent to the front wheels, torque steer is a notable characteristic, especially under hard acceleration.
  • Motor mounts: The stock motor mounts, especially the rear mount, are often seen as too weak and can fail over time, resulting in excessive engine movement.
