  • Superb Overall Value - 2004 Mazda Mazda3

    Had my eye on this car after initial test drive. Excellent handling and brakes. Got the Rally White HB automatic with ABS, moon + 6 CD (wish id gotten the NAV) for $19223 + tax,lic,doc.... For the price it cant be beat. Ive had it for 5 months now and I really cant complain. I get about 24 mpg city and 30 mpg hwy. If reliability is excellent, Ill keep this car Forever!!!

    This car fits the bill for me! It is a perfect combination of price, performance, looks, and economy. I have always liked Mazda but until now couldnt get the right mix of features and options to satisfy. I have only had the car for a couple of weeks but I can tell you right now, it;s a keeper!

  • Buy of the Century - 2004 Mazda Mazda3

    I bought a fully equipted 4drS in lieu of the Mini Cooper I lusted after for years. This little 3 just fits, Im 63". It looks great, handles like a dream, rides very comfortably, turns tighter than the Mini and has a longer wheel base than my old Mazda 626. It runs on regular fuel and is just plain fun to drive. It has all the features of cars two or three times its cost. I have GPS navigation and its both fun and practical. The Mini was fun but try hitting a speed hump at the posted limit and youll take the 3 as your daily driver. Fun and practical and cheap. Hard to beat.

    I had an Acura Integra which I liked, finally made a change and couldnt be happier. Fun to drive, looks nice inside and out, plenty of room and power in a small package, good mileage. Winning Blue looks great!

    I fell in love with this car since I first saw it. I love the design (interior and exterior) and its a lot of fun to drive. I think is a great car to go school and do your shores. Pretty comfortable too.

  • The most rockin car out there! - 2004 Mazda Mazda3

    This car lives up to its potential. Ive had a blast driving it so far. I mainly use it for school, but now and then, my friends and I go for a spin. Just an overall good car!

  • Class by Itself - 2004 Mazda Mazda3
    By -

    The Mazda3 is truly in a class by itself. Its larger and more solid than the Civic or Corolla, but more nimble than the Accord or Camry. The closest competition is the Jetta that costs thousands more. The 3 feels like a European sport sedan due to the amazing handling, precise shifter, and powerful engine. All these great characteristics while still delivering a smooth, quiet ride. Theres also the great styling (inside and out), quality interior materials, and luxurious available features. Thanks Mazda, youve delivered by far the best car for the price.

  • All in one package with sensible fun! - 2004 Mazda Mazda3
    By -

    Its a great drive, sometimes a little to much fun. Very fast -- the Zoom Zoom is so true! The mileage is good; it gets 300 or so miles to the tank. With the price of gas it could be better. I drive mostly highway on a daily basis and was hit from behind by a car going about 65 miles an hour. All I could think of was my cars condition. When I got out and looked I was in shock to see almost no evidence that I was even hit. The other cars air bags were all deployed but none of mine were. This is a strong built vehicle . i got back in and drove away like nothing even happened. The only problem with this car is the air conditioner, defroster and heat. None of them seem to get going in a timely matter.
