great Car!!!
I fell in love with this car since I first saw it. I love the design (interior and exterior) and it's a lot of fun to drive. I think is a great car to go school and do your shores. Pretty comfortable too.
Oh so fun!
What a fun car to drive. The sport A/T is great. If you are sitting in traffic, just stay in auto. If you want to have some fun, you can shift yourself. I'm having a great time driving this car and it didn't break the bank.

This is the Best Econo (Not)
This is not an economy car. The 2.3 liter is a joy to drive: I've zoom zoomed ~350 miles in the three days I've owned it. The car comes alive in third and the 40-85 mph acceleration is incredible. 52-48 weight distribution and built in roll bars eliminate body-roll and instill confidence behind the wheel. No Honda, Toyota, or Nissan sedan can come close to the 3's performance.
What a lemon!!!
Aside from the excellent engine and nice features, the problems I have had outweigh the positives by a lot. In the winter when it was really cold, the heater only marginally works, now in the summer I find that the A/C is only mediocre as well. After bringing it to the dealership multiple times, they insist that it is fine and within the normal range. And after only 10,000 miles they had to replace the transmission. I had it in for two oil changes previous to this and they never realized that transmission fluid was low. When they took the transmission out the fluid was almost gone and it was burnt. Thank god for warranties.
If you're tired of Hondas Get the Mazda3
Just bought it!! I love the way it handles. Has great get up and go! Interior is awesome! If you are tired of seeing the same old Honda on the street...this is the car for you! I love Mazdas so I may be a bit impartial. I would give it a nine out of ten on an overall scale.
