Pros: Looks, cost, value for money,handling.
Cons: It's an economy car.
The Bottom Line: An economy car with pretensions to being more, and a look that supports it.
MY MAZDA EVOLUTION: After my initial Mazda lease -- a sleek but conservative and comfortable 6 cylinder 2000 626 family sedan -- I entered life as a newly single man in 2004 by stepping up to the stylish, sporty and peppy 6 cylinder Mazda 6s. ...

I recently found myself in a rental car due to a little accident in a parking lot where a lady plowed into my car. The estimate I was given was about $1545.00 worth of damage and the shop told me that they would have my car for at least a ...

Pros: Handling, performance, and the silly grin you get on your face while driving it.
Cons: Interior storage space limited (apart from Glove-box), insurance costs.
The Bottom Line: When the original Mazda 323 was released in the 70's, it was described as "a car for all reasons". With this model, I think that description is finally justified.
Why did we buy this? Being a family whose vehicles consisted of 2 SUV's and a truck, and whose youngest child was rapidly approaching eighteen, my wife & I began discussing replacing one of the vehicles with a "fun" car for us, but it was ...

Pros: handling, comfort, dash, looks
Cons: size, if you can call it a con
The Bottom Line: For below $20,000 an Excellent Choice, many, many extras.
I traded in my 2007 Nissan Xterra because of the doom and gloom from the gas price forcasts back in May. I really liked my Nissan Xterra SUV, but it didn't like my wallet, 15 mpg. I purchased the hatchback bacause I needed the extra cargo room vs. ...

Pros: Zippy attitude at a good price
Cons: gas mileage
The Bottom Line: If you are looking for a well-engineered sporty car with good options and low price, this it IT.
When I totaled my 2005 Mazda3 sedan on Valentine's Day 2008, I really didn't think I would be getting another Mazda3. I drive 70 miles a day for work, all freeway driving. My Mazda3 sedan was very light weight and did not handle even the tiniest amount ...

Pros: Great gas mileage, great radio controls
Cons: Noisy ride, deadly choice of packages
The Bottom Line: This car is great. Get it.
For some time now I have had the Mazda 3 Coupe. I got the car with cloth seats (I have never been a fan of leather), side airbags and the mp3 jack. If you're in the market for the mazda 3, you would now from these specs which one I got, since I can't ...

Pros: I have a place to put a lap top & it locks.
Cons: There seems to be a loud type of blowing noise when I drive it.
The Bottom Line: I recommend purchasing this Mazda 3 for a fun adventurous ride. It is a calmer version of a sports car but you get to keep that sports car feel.
When I first purchased my Mazda 3 I was so excited! I bought this car because of it's sporty look & sleek body. I took it for a test drive & immediately fell in love with it. The car picks up speed really quick! I was ...

Pros: Handles well, nice lighted dashboard
Cons: limited rear leg room, trunk space is deceiving
The Bottom Line: Would defintely recommend to those with young children
The Mazda 3S was a car that was in our price range and gave us the hatchback option that we wanted when we went out looking for a new car. After driving it for a few months, there are some things that must be noted (specifications aside) by people ...

Pros: Smooth. Easy to handle and use. Decent gas milage.
Cons: Boring. Window on driver side is only auto when you press it down.
The Bottom Line: Good price car, but get all the features you can afford. Excellent car just gets a little boring for the long drives.
My experience with this car is really good. It is a smooth driving car and easy to use. I bought this product because my other car was done. Also they gave me the price I wanted at the right time. I love that the car is pretty spacious and easy to ...

2008 Mazda3i 4-door

Recommended: Yes
Pros: Nice styling, fun to drive.
Cons: Needs a better stereo and a spoiler standard.
I bought my Mazda3 the last week in Dec., so I've been driving it about 6 weeks now.
I was driving a vehicle that was getting 16MPG and needed a gas saver, so I looked at several small cars.
My Mazda3 gets about 32MPG and I really liked the styling of the Mazda. I have never owned a Mazda auto before and so far I really like it.
I have plenty of room and it came with plenty of standard features. It's peppy enough to get out of the way in traffic and it handles very well. There are a lot of seat and steering wheel positions for people of various height.
The trunk is roomy and the back seat has a 60/40 split to make hauling things easier.
The radio control are on the steering wheel and there are adapters in the center counsel for your iPod and phone charger.
I would definitely suggest this car to others.

Recommended: No 
Pros: I liked the fact that the car was quick; it got decent gas mileage.
Cons: Car had catastrophic failure twice and Mazda treated me very poorly.
I liked the fuel efficiency of this car. But the cooling system has failed twice on me, and Mazda has been incredibly unhelpful in getting it fixed. I've never been treated so poorly as a customer. I expect to have to spend thousands of dollars on this problem throughout the life of the car.
