Great car for a great price
I put 211,000 miles on my 1993 Protege without a fault. Bought a 2008 Honda Fit Sport 14 months ago and it was totaled. Drove the 2009 Fit Sport, Saturn Astra, and Mazda3 5dr and the game was over. The Mazda is much more car than the Honda and much nicer. The Astra is nice but awkward and the lack of an aux input for the MP3 player just shows a lack of consumer focus. The Honda feels "empty" and lacking when compared to the Mazda. The prices are all very close so it's a good comparison in my book. I'd like the sunroof to be an option by itself.
Long Trips, Varied Conditions
Follow up to my 8/26/08 posting. Just took the car from MI on a trip to Grand Tetons, Jackson Hole and Yellowstone. Back to MI, then over to Ontario and around Georgian Bay. Put on 4800 miles in 12 days through varied terrain. Got 31.6 mpg for the overall trip, car ran great, handled well and was very comfortable. Power is adequate 90% of the time. Cruised very well at the 75mph (maybe just a bit over)speed limit in WY and SD. The fully reclining & heated passenger seat is great for rest area naps. Bose stereo is very good. Strong crosswinds in SD (from Ike) could certainly be felt, but not too bad. Very good visibility.

Zoom zoom Mazda3
I’ve owned this vehicle for almost 2 years now and in those 2 years it’s been in the shop for motor mounts and Ac compressor but all which have been paid through my extended warranty but all in all it’s been reliable and never left me stranded I love the sunroof and 6cd changer and the auxiliary input that my vehicle has but I’m satisfied with my purchase but the only negative is the gas mileage for me is not as good as some owners combined but on the highway I get always 31-34 mpg

Love it!
Performance is right in with Mazda ZOOM_ZOOM. Maintenance is an oil change and occasional go over by your trusty mechanic. Almost 50 years of driving under my belt this has been the most pleasure filled and simplest to own, not to mention the Bose stereo system.

Best vehicle out there for the money
I purchased this vehicle at the very beginning of January this year (so it is difficult to estimate items like "reliability" and "build quality." I have thoroughly enjoyed everything about it so far. It's very stylish exterior is, in my opinion, best in class. It is fun to drive, handles well, and the 2.0L engine feels like a sizable step up from the 1.8L of my former Corolla. The interior is well-designed and comfortable, and the dash looks sleek (and the controls are easy to use, contrary to what I have seen in reviews). The fuel economy is perfect for me, even if not the best in its class. I get almost 30MPG off freeway. The value here is undeniable, so why wait? Get one now!
