Question:
I want to get a Mazda 3s 4 door for collage and I want to know what current owners think of their 3s. Write me a review and I will pick the best one! Info on how good the stereo is would be nice as well. Thanks!
Answers:
I have changed all my brake pads why are they still squeaking?
I have an 07' Mazda 3 four door i-sport. I go to college as well so on my budget I had to buy a stripy but I don't mind one bit. The handling is great, very comfortable and stylish. The stereo is very good and they have a aux. in jack in the center console so no matter if you have an ipod or any other mp3 player you can hook it up through there. I get about 30 mpg but I know other people with highway commutes do better than I do. I love this car its affordable, good looking, good on gas, and yes the stereos got some umph to it .Check engine light came on in my dodge sx2. under warranty. will this be covered if it is bad gas?
Goin to "collage?" Oh boy!Anyway, I own an '06 Mazda 3, and I love it.
It is the 2.3 engine touring model and I also own a Toyota Corolla '04. The Mazda completely blows it away in every way. Size, comfort, quickness, stereo, interior, seats, ammenities and overall satisfaction.
I love driving it and it handles the road like a champ.
Hope that helps.
I own a 4 door 05 Mazda3 sp23 it has just over 23k miles on the odometer. I have not had a single problem with it. This particular Mazda has a built in ipod plug housing a 30 gig ipod in the glove compartment. The car has been lowered about and inch and 18" Enkei rims and Michelin Sport All Season tires give the car a crouched stance. The windows are tinted except for the windshield. An AEM cold air intake and a cat back magnaflow exhaust have been installed since new. I have found this car to be utterly impressive. The Bose sound system, in my opinion is top notch, no need to change stereo equipment, it is all you need. I have added Xenon head lights (blue looking lights) which I have found to be necessary because of diminished night time visibility with a lowered car. This is a drivers car. I have traveled through the mountains of West Virginia, trailing a Mercedes 550 through the esses like a heat seeking missle. The car handles like it is on rails and the Mazda DNA demonstrates a pure pedigree for sport driving. For me, I didn't expect much from this car and I am truly impressed with the whole package. The mzr motor is decent on gas I get 278-330 miles on a tank of gas. However, I am running super highway speed. On another occasion, I was following a friend to Pittsburgh and he is a BMW snob. We drove at a very good pace and to his surprise he was challenged to pass me for the majority of the 200 mile trip. The car was not out-classed by the performance of the BMW. When running alongside a Mercedes or BMW they have the horses to pass on a straight, but it is not a walk in a park to challenge the Mazda on a long road trip. The best I can say is that the car has a counter punch to anything a competitor throws at it on the road. It can walk down a car twice it's size and abilities and the gas mileage will always best a big 6 or 8 in the final analysis. For city driving, it is easy to park, manuever and stopping distance is excellent. The zoom, zoom mantra is based on a punchy engine and superb handling. The car can be noisy depending on the road grade, this would be the biggest setback, other than that, the car is balanced like a skilled martial artisit. It is not the most powerful, or fastest car on the block, but the overall balance of the car is special. Obviously, it is fashionable, sturdy and reliable. From what I have read from Mazda the motor is engineered to have a life of 275k miles before major repairs like a timing chain.
Why should you buy a Mazda? Mazda over delivers on it's products, they have compelling products across the board. The products are precise and the performance is equal to the build quality. As a brand, they are on top of their game, they regularly perform well with JD Power. Mazda has something to prove in the market place with it's belief in the rotary engine. At the sametime, they have placed a ton of research and development to have a workhorse engine that can be tuned or detuned depending on the application. What this means for you and I, is that they are depending on their technology and craftsmanship to make a recognizable brand name. The only way to do this is to produce superb product that is best in class and this is what they are doing. Finally, if you are looking for a small car, Mazda makes the best small car. It's halo car is the miata (mx5), look at the track record from 89 to the present, much of the same technology and the same engine is in the Mazda3. You cannot go wrong.
Whats the difference between a honda civic and accord?
i wont go into crazy detail, but yah i love mine... 2004 mazda3 5 door wagon/hatchback... so comfortable, so solid... seats are great... stereo is good. i will buy another, as mine doesnt have the sunroof or nav system, which i really want... the new mazdaspeed wagon is crazy fast, but not sure ill get that one...Warning chime in 2006 Ford Crown Victoria?
my only complaints are road noise from the performance tires, which gets a bit much at higher speeds, so the radio will come in handy there. and gas mileage.. prob cause i drive it a little hard cuz it really can get out of its own way!! my last car got over 30 mpg, this gets about 25-28, i was hoping for a bit more but those are my only 2 very minor complaints...
2006 Ford Focus ZX5 bad gas mileage?
i cant imagine you wouldnt be happy with one!!
Who would win in a drag race,a 2006 BMW 330I or a Saturn Aura?
I was in the Market for a new vehicle and for three months I had done a considerable amount of research. From Magazine shoot outs, Internet forums, Edmond's, and Consumer Reports. I even asked a Child hood friend who works on a TV show called Motor Week.I narrowed my list to three cars. Subaru Impreza, Honda Civic, and the Mazda 3/ 5 door . I drove the Mazda first thinking that I was not going to be impressed but boy I was wrong. Everything from the Fit and Finnish to handling, performance, comfort , price point and even the integrated ipod connector all put a smile on my face but I did not want to make a Hastie purchase so I drove the other 2 cars over the next 3 days.I thought I'd like the Subaru more since that's what I was trading in, and it was a dam good car but on my 45min test drive not one thing impressed me,nothing! Next was the Honda Civic , I drove 2 models of it just as I did with the other cars and I found my self comparing it to the Mazda also. Both the Subie and the Honda are Great cars but the Mazda3 / 5 door when compared to the other two, was always at the front of the pack and not just in the front it was way in the lead in every aspect. The Mazda3 is highly recommended by Consumer Reports and nothing else compared to it for the money. I've now owned a Mazda 3/5 door for 2 months and I love it! Go Drive one you'll see.More Questions & Answers ...
