Answer:
I am a car enthusiast, so my answer is stilted as one who looks at the strength and weakness of the overall car. I own a Mazda3, so it stands that I like the car. The weakness of the car is that the windows are thin, they will fog up, this can be corrected with a good tint. The horn is weak, it needs replaced for safety sake. Earlier models arrived with halogen headlights, they to are weak, stick with Xenon. The interior could be much quieter, particularly on rain soaked roads. The stock tires are Goodyear RSA, know one likes them for good reason, they are middle of the road. The positive is all of these things can be feasibly addressed. Mazda makes it very difficult to tune the Mazda3 in the States. You really have to search long and hard to personalize the vehicle, unlike the Toyota Scion series and the Mini. It has the bones of a great driving car. It delivers on the zoom zoom. It is fun and can be souped up. I believe it is well built and the value proposition is best in class. Mazda products are on a roll, they still need to work with their dealer network and service is spotty. As long as their is nothing wrong with the vehicle you will be satisfied with your purchase, if you have a problem with a warrantied part, chances are 50/50 you will like their response. Jury is still out, if they will own the problem and make you happy. They are still reeling with the issues around the rotary engine in the Rx8. I hope this helps.

only issue i might have is that the trunk isnt wide enough to put alot of bigger items in.in hind sight, i would probably have gotten the hatchback instead.

good.it is mazda not any ride
I am a Mazda Fan. I have been driving Mazda 323 from 1998 to 2005. Since then I switch to Mazda 5. My friend bought Mazda 3 and I did take a ride. The car look fantastic and is a beautiful car. The car is reliable and seldom breakdown. The car is comfort. The car is easy to drive. The seat is comfortable. If you like, buy it.
Let down by its looks & image that seems to be the opinion of motoring progs Ive seen & my own view - however if reliability & hassle free motoring are more important its probably one of the best cars but Id prefer the Civic which seems to have everything.
