I have to say interior quality has jumped dramatically from the 2nd to 3rd gen.
On the downside the infotainment system is riddled with bugs and have the features Mazda touts don't work or don't work properly. Even with the up to date software the system is garbage. Unlike Ford MyTouch you have to go to the Mazda dealership for updates.
Great car, severely flawed infotainment software.

Give them about 30,000 miles and then see how smooth the clicks are. My Mazda3 (2011) automatic AC switches now turn as if they are missing every other click.
Except for possibly luxury vehicles, Honda makes the best knobs in the segment that still have smooth and tactile feel at 100,000 miles plus.
