  I bought the 3i to get the price a little lower. I did have the Power package and 16" alloy wheels added. Aside from the slightly bigger engine and fog lights, the 3i is no different than the 3s. Its a fun car with great handling and performance.

  First Car - 2004 Mazda Mazda3
  By Shortiestephy - October 31 - 10:00 am

  The mazda3 s is my first car. Ive had experiance driving my brothers Corolla S and after he had a chance to drive my Mazda he sold his car and got a Mazda3 as well. I think its safe to say that my whole family is happy with the mazda3. My father also owns a Mazda Miata, in which he is also happy with.

  Mazda 3 2004 hatch back - tire issues - 2004 Mazda Mazda3
  By Leo - October 26 - 4:53 pm

  Ive had the car for about 2 months, and still find it fun to drive. One Major disappointment is the handling on snowy roads. The 17" goodyear all-season tires are totally inadequate. The car fishtails on packed snow.

  Drives like a zoom out of Hades - 2004 Mazda Mazda3
  By Robert Ross - October 23 - 9:26 am

  Continue to be amazed by thoughtfulness of detail and quality of fit and finish. Drives like a go-cart and turns quite a few heads as I pass them. The dealer sold two more of them while I was buying mine. Another winner for Mazda.

  Best car Ive owned - 2004 Mazda Mazda3
  By bjerwin99 - October 5 - 11:43 am

  This is easily the best car that Ive ever owned. I switched to the 3 from a 2002 Honda Accord EX-V6 Coupe and never looked back. The mileage is great, it has lots of passenger room, and the hatchback plus fold down seats give tons of room. Mazda could charge $10k more and I would have still bought it.

  Excellent sharp-looking Car - 2004 Mazda Mazda3
  By wilecoyote - September 24 - 2:00 am

  The worst thing about the Mazda 3 is having to choose between the 4 door or the Hatchback. They are both GREAT looking cars. Once you make the decision, hop in and enjoy the ride.

  I still walk backwards to look at my car in parking lots. This is by far the most fun to drive car I’ve owned in ten years. Bang for the buck is an understatement when it comes to the Mazda3. Nothing can touch it!

  Protege of the Protege, But Better - 2004 Mazda Mazda3
  By RG59061 - September 13 - 10:00 am

  I just picked up my Black Mica Mazda 3i a few days ago and I have been thoroughly impressed. The 2.0 Liter Duratec 20 gave me exceptional gas mileage and tons of power. Shifting was very smooth and the transmission moved between gears flawlessly. The ride is very smooth for the compact class and steering conveyed only confidence. Inside, the car was built to incredible quality. plastic graining was attractive and subtle. The cloth seats were very supportive and easy to adjust. The 3i is also very ergonomic inside with all controls easy to reach. I must say, this has to be the best car since the 6 and proves that Mazda, is back!
