Mazda 3 Anyone?

[KHorne]

Hey, Does anyone have a Mazda3 ? The reason I am asking is because I am thinking about looking for one to buy (a used one). Any info you would like to share? I just haven't noticed many around?


Thanks, K

I think this is steeleing1's car, and John R has a friend with one. Those are the only two people I know of. I've heard really good things about that car, but best to ask an owner, like you say. Good luck!

I would suggest Googling a Mazda message board. Should get good info from there.

I thought maybe you might try to interest him in a different car that begins with an M.

They are very close in size. I dont the the phrase "My Mazda 3 does 185 will work so well."

We test drove one last year. It was nice. Is rated very good on performance for that category and I can see that to be true. We were more interested in fuel economy, reliability and overall cost to own over a long period as we tend to keep a car for a long time. We ended up with a boring Corolla and are very satisfied. It suits our needs.

I think the Mazda 3 is a cooler sportier car though and liked the ride.

I bought a 4 door a little over a year ago and absolutely love it. I had researched the heck out of cars and it won out for safety, performance, reliability and maintenance. I originally wanted a hatchback for bikes and stuff but lucked out and got a "scratch and dent" special...brand new, leather, sunroof, bose sound system. The dealer had dented the front bumper and replaced it but they had to divulge the info and discount the price. Mine has optional manual transmission (not very useful accept if passing). It has a lot of get up and go, comfortable on long trips....GREAT gas mileage. I have thought about buying a hatchback as well for our second car.
