We love our `06 Mazda 3,problem free with 78K miles.
Only gripe is the door upholstery came loose.
Fixed wirh a bunch of Elmers glue.
Great little car.
We bought ours as a cash car, '05 with 111K miles last March. We are really enjoying it. It really eats up the road when we travel. We will look closely at Mazda when we get our next new car. We are holding off on car payments until we get the last kid out of college!
