2.3L mazda3s sedan - great car!
You can't really find this kind of compact car elsewhere - its for people who want more than the low powered corollas and civics and don't want to pay mega bucks for the bmw/audis. I find it great to drive, everything I expected and more. I wanted something a little more powered and a little bigger than my old corolla, and this fits the bill exactly! Found out that my tire pressure monitoring system works - 3wks old and a flat tire =( I get about 25-26mpg and its about 50/50% city/highway driving. Insignificant minor flaws, super features. Brake dust is an issue, but thats only because the open spoked hubcaps make it visible - cleaning it can be a pain.

avoid ticket
Only testdrive it, have not bought it yet. It is very fast and fun to drive. Always go where I pointed. On twist road, it stick to the road but has a little uncertainty. This car is too fast, so I would guess I will get some tickets for the speed.
Class by Itself
The Mazda3 is truly in a class by itself. Its larger and more solid than the Civic or Corolla, but more nimble than the Accord or Camry. The closest competition is the Jetta that costs thousands more. The 3 feels like a European sport sedan due to the amazing handling, precise shifter, and powerful engine. All these great characteristics while still delivering a smooth, quiet ride. There's also the great styling (inside and out), quality interior materials, and luxurious available features. Thanks Mazda, you've delivered by far the best car for the price.
awesome ride!!!!!!!!
take a test drive and you will be sold~ we love it! our first new car. wish the mileage was a little better, but hey! looks like lexus, feels like BMW!!!
