I have a bike rack that will work for your Mazda 3's Curt item # C11377 hitch but the Swagman XTC2 TILT Bike Rack item # S64671 requires a class II or III hitch. Your Curt is a class I so it will not be compatible. Instead you will want the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider Bike Rack for 2 Bikes item # HR1000Z. This bike rack will fit a 1-1/4" class I hitch along with a class II and III. It has a 50 lbs capacity per bike.

This is a frame mounted bike rack that secures your bikes by the frame. This will avoid any damage if your bikes have fenders. Like the Swagman, this rack tilts, with or without bikes loaded, for easy access to your trunk. The included locks will secure your bike and rack from theft.
