Expert Reply:
The Curt Trailer Hitch, part # C11377 is designed to fit your 2015 Mazda 3 Hatchback.
This is a Class l hitch and it has a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening. A note form Curt states that all non-trailer loads - bike racks, cargo carriers and so forth - should be supported with stabilizing straps like part # 180050. Failure to properly support these loads will void your hitch warranty from Curt.
If you plan on doing some light towing with your vehicle I recommend a ball mount like part # C45521. This ball mount has a 2-5/8 inch rise and a 3-1/4 inch drop. for a 1-7/8 inch hitch ball I recommend part # 19256 and for a 2 inch hitch ball I recommend part # 19258.

For trailer wiring I recommend part # C56204. This plugs into the existing wiring in the rear cargo area and after running the hot lead wire to the vehicle battery will give you a 4-way connector at the back of your Mazda.
When working with electrical connectors I recommend using dielectric grease like part # 11755. This keeps dirt and moisture out of the electrical connections and helps prevent corrosion.
You did not say what you want to use the hitch for so I have attached a few items that can work with the hitch on your Mazda 3.
