Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2023 3 Sport.
The 2023 Mazda 3 Sport arrives with a reliability record defined by zero recalls and a total of twelve owner complaints. Although the power train registers as the top complaint area, the lack of official safety campaigns underscores a stable manufacturing process for this model year. This combination of low complaint volume and no recalls positions the vehicle favorably within its reliability history, suggesting that reported problems remain isolated rather than indicative of widespread defects.

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.
Owner complaints about the 2023 Mazda 3 Sport lead in one area — the power train, 3 of 12 reports (25%), well ahead of the next concern. NHTSA has issued no recalls for this vehicle, so these are owner-reported concerns only. 3 of the reports describe a crash and 2 a fire — a small share of the total, but worth weighing against the power train pattern above. These are tallies of what owners actually reported to the federal government, not an editorial score — and higher-selling models naturally rack up more reports.
