Need opinions about MAZDA3
I'm looking into buying a Mazda3 (unsure whether it'll be used or new)
and I wanted to get people's opinions on it. I've heard from one person that it tends to break down a lot and I was wondering if that was consistently true. I was also wondering how it drives (I haven't test driven one yet). |

We've got a 2007 5 door and absolutely love it. We've made trips from Houston to Rochester, NY, Harrisburg, Pa and Crestview Fl and have never had a problem with it. The only things that I would like improved are 1. The dash lighting is hard to see under some conditions (heavy sun from the back) and 2. The seats could use a little more padding. The IDEAL car, as far as I'm concerned (I just can't convince my better half) is the Mazdaspeed 3 (1 more gear and about 60% more HP). |

Check the April issue of Consumer Reports, which is on sale now. This issue reviews cars, and rates them for reliability and other factors. I am pretty sure the Mazda 3 is one of the models they reviewed or rated. |

It certainly couldn't be worse than other vehicles. When I was in Kuwait in support of OIF in '03-'04, my unit obtained a Mazda 3 as a staff car for missions outside our base (military vehicle speed limits were dangerously slow in the area). The posted SL on the freeways was 120 km/h (74 mph), and the traffic flow ranged between 140 and 200 km/ h. The car handled it adequately, and lasted until the end of my unit's mission there. Good luck. |
