Coming from an airplane size and noise gift car(1999 Chevrolet Malibu) this is an amazing car,,, i have no comparison with other same type vehicles, but i have no reason to think about changing so far,,, Drawbacks: back seats space, and driver seat when used as a recliner kills your back Cool Stuff: all the features, bluetooth, cruise, sunroof, etc(bluetooth lady is awesome and very funny, somewhat anoying too hehehe) the looks i love it, i putted a 18" rims is beautiful what can i say,,,is worth it,,, sure it is

Nimbal to drive. Easy to drive and park in city and urban areas. Road noise from rear tires can be annoying on long trips. Fuel economy is good. Three maintenance issues in 118000 miles. Anti lock breaking computer changed at 65k miles. Motor mounts had to be replaced at around 85k miles. Automatic transmission fluid takes a beating and needs to be changed every 50k miles (when it begins to turn brown in color.

Peppy good sized car. Only major repair was the ECM, but I have a lot of miles on my car, currently 145,000. Still looks new and current. Great acceleration from the start. Will maintain 80 mph easily on the interstate. Fun to drive! At 160,000 miles and still rolling good, I got new car fever and jumped up quite a bit to a new Genesis G-80. I would still highly recommend the Mazda 3, good gas mileage and very reliable.

Originally was going to buy a 3 but upgraded to the itouring and it was a wise decision. This car is a solid performer and since purchasing it new, only regular mainenance has been done and no warranty work has been necessary. I have owned full size SUV's and was surprised to see what I can load in this Mazda with the rear seats folded down. it has a wide opening when the truck is opened up. I enjoy going to manual shift and pushing this vehicle to the limits on tight turns. This car has a very good feel for the road and fun to drive. The cabin tends to be a bit noise at highway speeds but the stereo can automatically adjust the volume to changing speeds which is a nice option.

I agree with a lot of the reviews of this terrific little car. I previously owned a BMW 3 series, for ten years, and so I am used to great handling and a few creature comforts indoors. This car, so much less expensive (which in this economy was important for me) made me feel right at home, right away. So fun to drive, I dont want to arrive home. In fact, I drive slower just to prolong the joy. This is my take on the car and believe me I am not prone to giving excessive praise to anything or anybody.
