  MAZDA 3S 4 DR Sedan - 2004 Mazda Mazda3

  Excellent handling and performance. Drove Audi for last 6 years and this car has that Euro look. Mazda definitely has a winner here!! For the price, has the best combination of design and fun to drive.

  Love it! - 2004 Mazda Mazda3

  I think this is an excellent car. I went from one of Detroits "best" (a Chevy) to this car. No comparison. The build quality, ride, and value are excellent. Definitely more car for the money.

  Terrific Car - 2004 Mazda Mazda3
  By xception531 - February 11 - 10:00 am

  I am ga-ga over this car. It is enormously fun to drive, and feels faster than it is. It corners like its on rails. It is also very practical with a decent trunk space. After looking extensively at many many different models of cars new and used, I am convinced that this car is the perfect one for me at this time, balancing all the attributes of fun, value, practicality, and safety. Sure there are cars with nicer interiors, or that cost less, or that hold more, or that are more fun to drive (maybe not), or that are safer... but the Mazda has the best balance of any competitors. My parents want to trade in their Mini for one now!

  Mazda3 Pretty Decent Vehicle - 2004 Mazda Mazda3
  By Eduardo - January 14 - 9:50 am

  I was suspect not having owned such a small car, as a daily driver, for over twenty years. I was also suspect about the Ford connection with Mazda. So far, I havent had any concerns and I can be pretty picky. The car delivers 23MPG with mixed driving and about 27-28 MPG strictly highway. The automatic tranny is fine and I have the slapstick manual option which is nice. I am wondering how it will handle New England winters, especially with 17" speed-rated tires. The vehicle does have one quirk; in idle, the heat vents blow cold air, even with a warm engine. When moving, the heat is strong. Makes it difficult to warm up the car in the morning since it only will blow cold until driving.

  Have had this car since mid-May and I love it. Lots of trunk and glove compartment space! The car is pretty quick for a 4cyl.
