Expert Reply:
For your 2005 Mazda 3 you would want a Draw-Tite # 24816. This hitch is specifically designed to work on your vehicle, whereas the Curt Hitch # E-3S is a universal hitch that is designed to work on the bumpers of trucks and because of that would not work for.
Check out the installation video and installation instructions I attached for this product also.
This hitch comes with a drawbar as well as a pin and clip, but you may also be interested in the following products to complete your setup:
