Commuters Dream - 2004 Mazda Mazda3
By TOMKAT50 - September 25 - 11:03 pmWanted a ride for my 60 mile commute to work thats fun to drive, looks good and gets good mileage. 10K miles later no regrets. Handles fantastic, solid on highway, excellent brakes, good quality interior with nice layout, decent stereo, comfortable seats and driving position. Around 36 MPG, and lots of looks even for a 50 year old guy like me.

Oh waht fun it is to drive! - 2004 Mazda Mazda3
By Juniper Girl - September 23 - 10:00 amI have never loved a car so much. Instead of waiting for my kids to ask me to drive them somewhere, I find myself asking them if they need me to take them. Ill go anywhere. I wish I had a longer commute just so I can be in my car! Except in the summer. The Air conditioner has some issues. A friend is selling his only 1 month after he bought it because it air conditioning works so poorly. I am not a huge fan of cold air blowing on me all the time in the car but it sure takes a heck of a long time to cool the inside off. I tinted my windows and that helps but if Mazda wants this car to be the BEST CAR EVER ( it almost is in my eyes) FIX THE AIR CONDITIONING!

Simply Amazing - 2004 Mazda Mazda3
By MazdaGuy - August 18 - 10:00 amMy family currently owns a Mazda 3s, 6i, and Protégé5, all are amazing. It has great handling, a better feel than the 6 and higher limits than the Pro5, although the Pro5 has a better feel and the 6 has higher limits, it is a good balance. The engine is great, but be advised that if you plan to change your own oil, it uses a cartridge filter available only at the dealership and online, retailing around $11 for the filter. The transmission is great with short throws and precise shifting. This car doesnt really fit in with any vehicle class, more powerful and sporty than any compact in its price range. I would put it closer to a BMW 325i than a Civic.

Do you love to drive? - 2004 Mazda Mazda3
By Chicago "3" owner - August 18 - 10:00 amIf youre looking for a 5-door car stop, you just found it. The 2.3L is quick- get the leather tim, if you can . If your a stick driver you may find the "3" feels more like a VW then a Honda or other like imports. Over all- for the money this car will be hard to beat!
