There are many more positive things about all 2017 3's, including better sound deadening, its trail braking for you going into every curve, and more.
The question is not what we think, but whether you are comfortable being in debt longer (even at the reduced payments).
We love our 2017 Mazda 3 GT. It is my wife's daily driver, and she, overall prefers it to our BMW 335 we had and our new WRX that I drive.
Demand (politely) that you be given a one hour, by yourself test drive, and then decide. BTW my salesperson, seeing me drive up in my WRX, threw me the key fob and said, take it for a drive for at long as you want, but bring it back by 7:00 PM when I go home tonight (three hours later). One hour on curvy roads I choose, sold the car for me.
How much better it is or is not than your 14???? You will be able to tell after more than a typical, pre-programmed, short test drive.
Best of luck.
