a different car - 2004 Mazda Mazda3
By Gary - February 16 - 8:50 pmI have had no problems with the car. The styling has been copied now and will be used partially in the design of the EVO 10. It is so much different than having a boring Ford.

2.3L mazda3s sedan - great car! - 2004 Mazda Mazda3
By m3gozoom - February 16 - 10:00 amYou cant really find this kind of compact car elsewhere - its for people who want more than the low powered corollas and civics and dont want to pay mega bucks for the bmw/audis. I find it great to drive, everything I expected and more. I wanted something a little more powered and a little bigger than my old corolla, and this fits the bill exactly! Found out that my tire pressure monitoring system works - 3wks old and a flat tire =( I get about 25-26mpg and its about 50/50% city/highway driving. Insignificant minor flaws, super features. Brake dust is an issue, but thats only because the open spoked hubcaps make it visible - cleaning it can be a pain.

Got it Loaded with everything - 2004 Mazda Mazda3
By Hypnodude - February 16 - 10:00 amOkay, I have to say I like the power of the 5-Speed. I think for the money you cant beat it.

AXELA - 2004 Mazda Mazda3
By Paul - January 29 - 5:40 amI have had my 3S just over a month. I love it. It is the best sub-compact car I have looked at, priced, and driven. It handles like a BMW 3- series minus the rear drive. I see them all around town, but it never fails, people still stare at my car. It is very sexy, and great to drive.

Northof50 - 2004 Mazda Mazda3
By Northof50 - January 10 - 10:00 amThis car reminds me of the BMW2002 when it came out x years ago. Modern, stylish, latest tech, ex. performance, reliability, economy. 90% of you have no clue what I mean. Anyway, the only other seriously considered was a VW Jetta, but it was 2.5K more; only 115 hp, made in Mexico and plain looks dated. Corolla too dull; Honda same- same; Nissan not in the game at this price.

My Mazda 3 - 2004 Mazda Mazda3
By PinkieDAE - January 10 - 10:00 amI love my car. Its white with a spoiler and a sports package is a must. Bigger rims make the difference. Its so reliable and good for gas! Rated number 9 by Edmonds. No one has it yet, so I dont feel like I own a civic & 900 others do too! Being orginal is better.

Amazing Buy - 2004 Mazda Mazda3
By jslnlb - December 3 - 2:00 amI bought the M3i to replace a 96 Honda Accord EX. Its faster, more frugal, and handles better than the Accord, for $4K less than what I paid for the Accord in 96. Its quiet and solid though not as smooth as the Accord. It has many more features than the Accord had, including side curtain airbags, 6- disc CD changer, Tilt/telescoping wheel, steering wheel mounted radio controls. I test drove other compact cars before purchasing the M3i. I believe the M3i is the best in its class.

About Time - 2004 Mazda Mazda3
By doubleO - December 3 - 2:00 amI have been looking for a vehicle for 6 months. Late last year I saw a picture of the Mazda 3. I waited, and it was worth the wait. I am a previous civic owner. The 3 had a lot to live up to. It has so far. I have only had the car for a week, but I cannot express the positive reaction I have. If you are looking for a car that has the looks, feel, and personality this is it. You feel comfort and style in a simple but very effective car. It seems that is was designed to fit someone in a real world.
