Bought used in 2011 at 50,000 miles. Now at 133,000 miles. Only had to replace the headlights and fog lights due to damage. Everything else has worked great on this car. This is my daily driver and road trip car and I have no complaints on its performance. Planning to push to 200k and beyond!

Bought the 2008 S GT 2.3L sedan brand new due to fun handling. My family has owned a Mazda 323 for years and the quality was really good. We were very disappointed by the quality of this vehicle. Very soon after we took delivery, we saw that the paint was very thin and chipped very easily. We had to put a 3M film over the hood. The carpet wore out int the first few months. Then it was the auto door locks, engine mounts, and struts needed replacement. at 60K, needed new ABS system. Around 75K control arm, cv joint, etc broke. The worst is transmission failure at 79K miles. We don't push the care and put low miles on it. It is very well taken care of; always maintained at dealership. I can't believe the many issues it gave us over the years. We will be getting ride of it at less than 90K miles. We won't be getting another Mazda. They are not reliable anymore.

I love driving this car. I hate how many things have stopped working. Air Conditioner, electric windows, electric door locks, Stereo. All broken. I'll not be buying another mazda. My wife bought a VW rabbit pretty much the same time I bought the mazda and her car still drives like new. FEH.

I bought this mazda3 new and 3 months later I had brake/rotor problems. I took it to the dealership 3 times in 11 months, they mechanically fixed my rotors and 1 month later the same problem happened. My steering wheel shook every time i braked. I called Mazda one month later and the dealership and Mazda said i was not under warranty. What? Whatever they did to my car was not sufficient. I am still dealing with the problem and found out today i have a manufactures warranty for 3 yrs/36,000 miles. So, everyone lied to me and still nothing.

Bought my Mazda3 used in July 09 with a little over 6K on the dash. As of this writing, it's a little over 15.5K. I enjoy driving this car! for a little 2.0, it moves just enough for me. (this is my first car ever--don't need it to be any faster ;-) ) I absolutely love the sporty look.. the xenon head/tail lights and spoiler are cool. Stereo has enough bass and treble for me. The A/C could be a wee bit cooler, beige interior is ok, just gotta be careful with stains.
