What can I say about my Mazda 3; I LOVE IT!!!
My favorite thing about the car is how smooth it drives. It is so quiet. It is so quiet that I have actually tried to start the car when it was already on!!!
I am only 24, but I was able to get a good deal on this car, and I was able to purchase it myself, which was a big deal. It's rare to find a car you absolutely love, and then have it work for your price range.
As far as problems go, I haven't really had any (I have had the car a year now). The only thing I would comment on is the tires. I actually had a nail in my tire, but when I brought my car into the shop the attendant told me that people have been bringing in 2007 Mazda 3's left and right because the tires don't last very long.
OH! A down side is gas mileage. It isnt horrible, but it isnt as good as I thought it would be. I am getting about 23 mpg. I was hoping for better than that, but that could be my mistake in expectations.
The car is cute (important!), drives great, is fun and holds its value well.
