  Great Little Car - 2004 Mazda Mazda3
  By kdibello - December 7 - 2:00 am

  This car smokes the competition (Corolla, Civic). Its tight as a drum and performs very well by any standard especially for an econobox. It is built to a standard you typically find in more expensive cars.

  Of all the cars I test drove this was by far the best. It handled better than the Civic, Corolla, and the Altima. The car just gets more fun each time I get in it!

  This car has the best reliability of any car I have ever seen or heard of. It is fantastic, and practically repairs itself. No problems. I sometimes drive it too hard, but it takes it amazingly well. My wife and I love this car and consider it a member of our family. Lief Johnson has always been an exceptional dealer for me, always going above and beyond. For me to say that is something, because I have walked out of several places, determined never to do business with them again.

  Driving Machine that is Practical - 2004 Mazda Mazda3
  By RGSComp - November 21 - 10:00 am

  The 5 door is a car you can work out of and yet have so much fun driving. I put 1000 miles a week in city, rural and highway driving and never tire of the driving. 5 speed is short throw and slick. Steering is right on and makes you feel like all roads are a track. Seats in front are very comfortable and supportive. Everyone comments on the quality of the interior. I have never owned a car that gets so many comments from young guys to older men and women. Unique look. The fuel mileage, and I keep accurate records, has been 28.5 to 29 on the 2.3 liter entine. The interior swallowed two people and 5 computers and monitors, plus supplies and too

  NO REGRETS - 2004 Mazda Mazda3
  By HILLBORG - November 21 - 10:00 am

  I am 57yrs young,this car takes the boredom out of driving. Tried G35 sedan,Maxima and the Acura TL @approx $15k more CDN and bought the 3GT WITH OUT THE TORQUE STEER. This car is as much fun and the insurance was a nice surprise.The doors close like a vault and the car is extremly stable at high speeds,also like the extra room in the garage.

  ANOTHER SUCCESS STORY FROM MAZDA - 2004 Mazda Mazda3
  By Jim Vesta - October 25 - 2:00 am

  The 2.3 liter engine gives this lightweight car a lot of Zoom Zoom. That said, you still feel like there is more real metal than plastic like in a lot of cars.

  Very good car - 2004 Mazda Mazda3
  By OnMySecondMazda - October 19 - 2:00 am

  This is one GREAT car. Very stable cutting corners. Here are only few "negative" observations; everything else is GREAT. Headrest is a bit awkward as it pushes your head towards the front (I was told this is good in the case of a crash?). Snow handling is very poor. My old Protege w/Michellin X1s could go up a steep hill covered with 7 inches of snow without a problem. My new M3 has a very hard time handing smallest amount of snow. OK it has sportier tires but I wish I did not have to get winter tires. Air bag light (red one in front of the driver) just started coming on (will have to investigate if this is a known problem).

  Dont pass this up! - 2004 Mazda Mazda3
  By av123 - October 19 - 2:00 am

  All The previous reviews say it all. This is probable the best car you can get for the money right now. I think Mazda went all out on this model to cut into the Honda Civics dominance of the class. They came up with a winner.
