  Super Value for a Great Car - 2004 Mazda Mazda3
  By vuter - June 26 - 10:00 am

  This is a super car. I love it. I keep thinking the market guys at Mazda made a mistake in pricing. In comparing the 3 with the civic or corolla, its no contest. I personally think closer competition is a class up with the likes of the accord, camry, or jetta, but the 3 is a smaller, more nimble, in general more sporty which is what I prefer.

  Wow - 2004 Mazda Mazda3
  By igozmzm2 - May 18 - 2:00 am

  I love this car! Its the best looking car that I have seen in a long time, and everywhere I go, people are saying great things about it. Many of them have begged for a ride, and love it. Its the most fun to drive, and since Ive gotten it, 2 of my friends have now purchased one as well. Its a luxury car without the luxury price. The controls are easy to use, within reach, and the navi system is a breeze to use. I went out of state the weekend I purchased the car, had no problems using it. I feel like I got a steal when I purchased this car...people think its a 30K car, when I tell them 20K they flip out.

  Ive owned Titanium Gray Mazda3 for about 3 months now. It comes with everything, including the navigation system. Of course, Ive found ups and downs since I bought it but for the overall part, Im very plased with it. Its a smart buy!

  Mazda 3 Hatchback - 2004 Mazda Mazda3
  By sakkarilius - May 14 - 10:00 am

  Dealerships said there was shortage of Mazda 3. Hard to budge on price. Compared this car to Toyota Matrix and Subaru Impreza/Forester. Mazda3 was best performer. Car had lots of safety feature including ABS, side air bags and curtains. Also Xenon HID headlights and tire pressure monitor. Hatchback comes standard with 17 inch alloy wheels. I made my purchase in May. There were no rebates and 3.9% financing is a bit higher than Toyota (0 to 1.9%) or Subaru (1.9%). If you can wait till August, you may get a better deal. The leather seats were kinda cheap looking but aside from that the car is built very well.

  My Little Mazda - 2004 Mazda Mazda3
  By mazda3driver - May 8 - 8:00 pm

  I bought my Mazda3 in Nebraska and drove it back to Vegas. Thats 1255 miles. I got an average of 24-26mpg the whole way. Not bad, but definitely could be better. This includes the driving in Colorado. If anybody has driven through there, you know what I mean. I got about 24 in that area. Your auto-stick really comes in handy up those hills. I was in 3rd gear up most of them. While in Nebraska, it was really cold. For some reason it didnt want to start early in the morning at 0 degrees. Not sure. After it was started, everything was fine. Took a couple times, but it did start. I tried putting heet in the gas tank, but didnt seem to do anything. The tail end likes to slide in the snow. A+

  The most fun car to drive of all we have owned. The Navigation system really adds independence to our driving.

  I just wanted to say I love this car. It is fun, responsive and handles amazingly. In addition, it is extremely comfortable and I love all the safety features that came standard with the S package.

  Good So Far - 2004 Mazda Mazda3
  By Ernie - April 12 - 12:16 am

  The Mazda is solid and handles the corners very well. We have had it 1.5 years (42,000 miles) and its reliability is excellent so far. The manual transmission works very well. The mileage is not as good as the competition, but it is a joy to drive and feels like a sports car. We are very satisfied and the kids all like to drive it more than the other fancier, larger car.

  Great Car! - 2004 Mazda Mazda3
  By ShaneT - April 6 - 2:00 am

  I bought the M3 a couple of weeks ago and it great all around from style to performance. It gets good gas mileage (around 35 mpg) which was very important in the decision. Also, the body style and colors to choose from were all excellent.
