Great handling and good power. Comfortable and attractive seats, roomy backseat. Cockpit is a little narrow. Quality materials and finish. Cheaper plastic on the lower console is prone to scratching, but it's black. Stereo does sound a little muddy, controls on the steering wheel are a nice touch though. Great trunk space. Tons of fun to drive. This is a drivers' car.

You won't find a sportier car in this price range. The stiff suspension and quick acceleration make this car a blast to drive. However, if you're looking for a luxurious, comfortable ride, you may want to consider a Civic because the stiff suspension in the M3 makes for a bumpy ride. I personally don't mind it because I bought the car for its superior handling and acceleration and so far I absolutely love the car.

It's a great car. I've only had it for a little while and I love it. Very fun to drive. Lots of head and leg room, very comfortable. Sporty looking.

I had researched this car before I purchased and found it to be the best buy for the money. This car has great pickup and is fun to drive.

I bought a 2004 Mazda 3 unexpectedly. Thought I liked the Mazda Protege,and test drove their new model. I liked it more than the Protege. I have it over a year, no problems, no complaints. A great car for the money. Very reliable. Fun to drive. Cute too!
