What Owners are Saying About the 2006 MAZDA MAZDA3
"Extremely reliable car - 250 miles per week"
"I bought this car new from a dealership in 08 .After a year of test driving every compact Import it was the styling that sold me on the Mazda 3 . It has sports car power and handling , nice paint , and audio is great . The cons ?? Seating material is hard and irritating on bare skin . Seat comfort , especially on long trips is poor . I have 60000 miles now and it has been back to the dealership twice for recall work . Other than that no other problems . I also like to brag that the brake pads are original and still have twenty percent of the pad material left . If you are looking for a car that holds it's value , is attractive , fast , handles great and avoids the repair shop then this is the car you want ."
"Zippy"
"This was my first car, I've had it for over 10 years now after buying it used in 2011. I absolutely love this little car, even after all these years I still think it looks cool, the gas mileage is fair, and it's pretty powerful. The acceleration has always been fantastic. My mom liked to call this car "zippy" since it could accelerate so well and is small enough to zip through traffic. The only issue I've had with the car that wasn't due to age and use is the original CD player (multi-disk), which are apparently notorious for not working properly and eating CDs. After one factory replacement, we eventually just replaced it entirely with a new stereo, which made the console clock, miles to empty, etc info on the little display stop working. Overall though I've still never driven a car that makes me feel cooler"
"My love, thank you Mazda!"
"I was looking for my first used car one month, trying to find a reliable, Japanese branded, good for a gas mileage car. I decided to choose a 2006 Mazda 3 Hatchback, Sport + ABS feature, 2.3 engine. My car has almost 200K miles but runs like a champ. Changed main details after buying: oil+filter, spark plugs, front tires, air filter. I satisfied how this car keeps on the road, smooth turns and gas mileage near 25 MPG. Great exterior plus good interior details make this car comfortable and reliable road assistant. Hope my review will help people to make a right choice."
