A Sweet Little (20) Sixteen Mazda 3 - Updated.
Moving along in my third year of ownership of this car. Still drives very well and seems like an extension of one's arm when quick correction is needed to avoid an accident. So much fun to drive! Mileage is good, avg. mpg. @27 city, @ 32 freeway. I recently discovered that Mazda's engineers provided help for stopping when on an incline with stick shift transmission - will hold on a hill so that re-engagement with transmission is smooth. Very cool. Also, found that cruise control is also a speed control: let's you maintain the speed that was programmed by cruise control, which helps you from going over speed limit on streets that are mostly flat. This model and year have the "SkyView" technology that has worked so well in racing and overall test driving.

One of the most reliable cars I've owned
Inexpensive and reliable! I have had this vehicle 5 years and only replaced the brake pads. Car still runs like new.

Great on gas!
Doesn’t guzzle it up like the previous car I drove. I drive 30 miles to work and 30 miles back 3 times a week. I would normally be out of gas by the second day. A full tank lasts me over a week now. Haven’t had any issues with my car. I love it! Built in dashcam can definitely come in handy if ever needed. Backup camera definitely comes in handy whenever I’m not sure if I’m too close to the car behind me.

Mazda 3
Great car so far. Fun to drive, lots of options. The Bose speakers sound amazing, the back up camera is pretty clear, lane assist is subtle but helpful, lights are bright. As for navigation, I didn’t purchase the card from the dealer, but off amazon for $75 vs $500 at the dealership. Haven’t received it yet but reviews were positive.
