Market Highlights
- The Reliability Premium: In 2026, buyers are increasingly seeking simple, durable transportation to avoid high repair costs. A manual-transmission Mazda 3 from this era is a 'goldilocks' car—offering modern safety features and fuel efficiency without the complexity of modern CVT or turbocharged systems.
- Regional Demand: The Fresno and Southern California markets place a high premium on vehicles with a 'passed smog' status and current registration. A car that is 'smog ready' represents an immediate savings of time and money for a private party buyer, increasing its desirability.
- Model Longevity: The 2010 Mazda 3 'i' trims are legendary for reaching 250,000+ miles with basic maintenance. While 170,000 miles would be high for many cars, this model's reputation for longevity keeps its market value stable even as it approaches its 16th year.
