  After 5 months of ownership. - 2004 Mazda Mazda3
  By 04mazda3i4dr - April 8 - 7:53 pm

  I have had this car for 5 months now and I am still impressed by it. It has excellent fuel economy and it is so quiet, comfortable and fun to drive. No buzzing at all from this car and it feels like it will last you for a lifetime! And this car does have the zoom-zoom factor. Out guns almost anything on the road and it has composure that a few compact cars have. Good ride and balance, flat cornering, and the shifter is awesome. Always keeps you in the sweet spot of the engine.

  This car puts me in a good mood daily - 2004 Mazda Mazda3
  By AKirby - March 26 - 2:00 am

  Every day when I get in this car I realize how much more I like it. I shopped everything, and I just couldnt find as much car for the money as the Mazda 3. The attention to detail makes it unfair to compare this car to its supposed competitors. This car feels nothing like a compact when you drive or ride in it. Nothing about it says compact, or cheap. The steering has a great feel. The racing type suspension gives you an unbelievable feel for the road that just cant be matched. So far, I like everything about this car, and I just can not believe what I paid for what I got. This car has no equal in its "class."

  This is the first non-VW product Ive owned in 10 years. For a vehicle in this price range, nothing can compete!

  Zoom zoom.....no rust.....rust....rust - 2004 Mazda Mazda3
  By Rusty Mazda - March 24 - 11:13 am

  A fun car to drive for the first four years. Rust started this winter and in a few short months has almost devoured the car. Not since my 71 Torino have I seen a vehicle rust so bad. I would never buy another

  The experience - 2004 Mazda Mazda3
  By Kodiak_sniper - March 22 - 10:00 am

  Car handles/feels the same at 80 as 55 in slow traffic < 20mph you can here emgine fan turns on and off. stearing wheel does not telescope far enough for longer legged drivers. In tight curves at higher speeds on rough road, front tires feel like they are bouncing off the road like quick small finger tapping. Engine feels like its dragging at lower speeds < 35mph

  Buy this car - 2004 Mazda Mazda3
  By cliffordsnd009 - March 22 - 10:00 am

  I think mazda finally got it right.The styling is off the hook. I get so much attention with the velocity red which looks like a candy red when the sun hits it. The hids are great but not as colorful as I would like but overall,its a great car. I got mine with all the options except for navigation.I dont need it since I plan to put an aftermarket one in soon as a kit becomes available. I have 3 words to say. GET THIS CAR. CIVICS WATCH OUT

  This car should be your 1st choice! - 2004 Mazda Mazda3
  By onefanaticgirl - March 16 - 10:00 am

  This car has exceeded all of my expectations! It is a FUN car to drive. I love the audio controls on the steering wheel and the engine power is perfect. I only test drove this car for comparison purposes and was won over by the comfort and unique design.

  Great Young Person Car! - 2004 Mazda Mazda3
  By Chickities - February 25 - 10:40 am

  I havent even had mine a full week yet but I am in love. My boyfriend is actually jealous. I managed to talk the dealers into giving it to me for way less than what they wanted, so dont let them try to stick it to you for full price. Mines fully loaded without navigation and was under 18K. Fun car to drive, and I get way more double takes from guys than I did driving my Accord.

  Mazda3 5 door - 2004 Mazda Mazda3
  By tegra777 - February 8 - 10:00 am

  Variable Valve Timing mixed with a 2.3 liter 4 cylinder makes for great mileage and a good amount of zoom zoom. You will not find a more fun or practical car for the money. The Mazda 3 turns heads everywhere and is a blast to drive.
