We do offer a hitch that fits your 2012 Mazda 3 hatchback. My recommendation is to go with the Draw-Tite # 24843 Class I Trailer Hitch, which offers 200 lbs of tongue weight capacity and 2000 lbs gross trailer weight capacity.
A good bike rack to use with this hitch is the Swagman Trailhead 2 # S63360 which has a tilting feature that allows you to access your hatch when its installed.
If you're in need of a trailer wiring harness, we have two styles available - one for hatchbacks with LED tailights # 46255 and one for hatchbacks with non-LED taillights # 188420.
