    Ive only had my Mazda 3 a few weeks, but it has quickly become the most fun, most enjoyable vehicle I have ever driven. Fuel economy is great, the performance surpasses any expectations you might have, and the creature comforts are A1. It turns heads, provokes questions from strangers and is simply a pleasure to be in.

    This car is the best in its category. After an extensive search I decided on this car, and two weeks of ownership proves me right. What an amazing car to drive. It definately feels and drives like a more expensive car. If you are shopping for a civic, corolla, matrix or scion, check this one too. You will love it!!

  • Great all-around car! - 2004 Mazda Mazda3

    The Mazda 3s hatchback is the perfect car for this suburbanite. Its quick and fun to drive, yet still gives high 20s gas mileage on my stop-and-go commute. Its very tossable, but still manages to let me haul people and things. The car also just looks great - especially in Winning Blue. And the price - very well equipped for under $20K is a great deal these days.

  • Cool car - 2004 Mazda Mazda3

    This is a sweet little hatchback. Similar in shape to the European Fiat Bravo of a few years back, but very much modernized and beefed up with sharper edges and nice 17" alloys. The interior is pleasingly simple, especially the dash and it is nice to be able to switch off the crazy light show from the stereo. The combination of blue and orange lights on the dials may sound gross, but it looks really good and more importantly is very clear. This car replaced a VW Bug convertible (a lemon) and the difference in quality is immeasurable.

  • I love my Mazda 3!! - 2004 Mazda Mazda3
    By -

    I love the looks and lines of this car. It is sporty and sassy and drives just that way. The handling is great with very little body role as you power through turns. The interior is well thought out with everything at your fingertips. I didnt think I would like the auto-shift feature, but it is growing on me, in fact I have it in that mode most often. It seems to increase the engine power and maneuverability of the car. The fact that I can get a car with such grat drivability thats fully loaded with all the extras at such a great price is exciting. I love driving it - I am very pleased with this car.

  • Sweet ride for the family & under $17000 - 2004 Mazda Mazda3
    By -

    WOW, what a ride for $16962.00 out the door. 17" allows on a great looking sports car, big enough for a family. No minivan for this family with two kids under 5. After 6 months I still love to get into the 3 and drop the clutch. Mazda scored huge with this one.
