I can recommend a trailer hitches for your 2012 Mazda 3 i Grand Touring.
If your Mazda is a Sedan use the Curt hitch part # C11393. If it's a hatchback use the Draw Tite part # 24843. Both of them install faily easily with included bolts. I've also linked install videos of each of them for you.
If you get the Curt hitch, it requires an additional strap like part # 18050 when carrying unsupported loads like bike racks or cargo carriers. This is a condition of their warranty. Draw-Tite does not require a strap.
