Ground clearance on the 4th gen Mazda 3 is ok, visibility is poor in my opinion (for a B-segment vehicle) and it's probably not the best vehicle for rough roads, but that depends on who you are - in my opinion, that torsion beam in the rear end does make a difference on choppy roads. Most people won't notice it, but if you're attuned to driving, you'll notice it.
The 3 does drive really well, especially considering what it is, though. I would say the CX30 or CX5 would also be good options.
