It's much more athletic than the wimpy civic, corolla, sentra and hyundais. I love the feel of the twin cam engine and 17" alloys with 4 wheel disk brakes and independent suspension. It's got cool stuff like a leather wrapped steering wheel, cruise, tunes, fog lights remote this and that, alarm system yadda yadda and it was priced way below the other cars in its class. I got the 5 speed stick because it's lots more fun to drive. The only thing i did'nt like was the untinted windows (which I had to tint) and the pathetic sounding horn (which I replaced with a wolo badboy horn). Now it's perfect.

We looked at Corollas and Civics too, but picked the Mazda3 because it is well-rated, and much better looking than the other two. My daughter also said every other car at her college is a Corolla (BORING!). She absolutely adores her Mazda3.. It was the last 2007 at a dealer that was going out of business! We got an EXCELLENT price and the car is gorgeous--true red, with moon roof and wing spoiler, and lots of other bells & whistles. Anyway, we highly recommend a Mazda3--they aren't ordinary (like Corollas & Mustangs, which you see on every corner) and they are overall a great car for the price!

Thats not just the place for it. Secondly, if you read my blog you will notice that I am currently very happy with my job here and am not thinking of moving anytime soon.

AS OF NOW I AM DRIVING A '03 MAZDA PROTEGE. I REALLY LOVE MY CAR AND MY FAMILY HAS BEEN IN THE MAZDA FAMILY FOR A LONG TIME. SO I'M PRETTY MUCH TORN BETWEEN THE TWO CARS. IF ANYONE HAS ANY SUGGESTIONS ABOUT WHICH ONE WOULD BE A BETTER CHOICE, LET ME KNOW. I AM LOOKING TO BUY A BRAND NEW CAR, AND AM LOOKING AT THE MAZDA 3 AND THE SCION TC CURRENTLY.

I am glad you like it. Yes, one of the great things about the car is the gas mileage. I usually fill up once every two weeks, sometimes longer. I got the gap insurance - but somehow now that I got it - I feel like I didnt need it. I also got the car care package (to protect the exterior as I had a dog at the time I bought it)... I didn't feel the extended warranty was worth it as I may sell the car within 5 years (and/or if I change my mind I could always get it later). That is good to hear. I am glad you like it.

I ended up getting the Mazda 3 S Sport with a moon roof. I figured I could get my spoiler later. I absolutely love it. I got it $3k below invoice because of the incident with my civic and all. Of course I got the gap insurance and the extended 6 year 100,000 mile warranty on it. And the gas mileage is almost as good as the civic was. I have a feeling that I'm going to be very happy with this car. The original sales person quit and I had a guy that was just hired so he wasn't fully corrupted yet. I finally got my car!

The car dealer tried to sell me for example on their "internet plan" which is slightly more expansive than the S plan...They stated that for the S plan, I would have to have my car order from the factory - which is complete and total bull. The 2nd salesman I met though and just did the S plan right away for me though...so I did feel like the initial one tried to deceive me (perhaps for a higher commission). Just be wary and aware, and do seek things like the Better Business Bureau, and a threat to call the car company directly if you feel you are being jerked around. In addition, look into the Lemon Laws of your state. You may also have some legal recourse. I am no expert when it comes to buying cars or dealing with car issues...but I hope this advice helps.
