"I looooooove my Mazda 3i!! I have been through a number of vehicles...Honda, Ford, Mitsubishi and my Mazda by far outranks them all!! This is the best vehicle I have ever owned. I bought my car brand new with only 7 miles on it in March of 2006, it is now almost 2009 with 30,000 miles and I haven't had one problem. The only down part is like others have previously stated, the ac doesn't get really cold only cool...kind of a bummer on those 90 degree plus days. It sometimes sticks a little when I try to shift into reverse and I have noticed the clutch needs to be let out more than usual in that case. Otherwise, I wouldn't trade this car for anything!! Best investment!!"

"Very Sport. Love the Sirius satalite radio. XM sucks!!! Navigation is a cool toy, and the overall style of the vehicle rocks!!"

"I bought my 2006 mazda 3 about 9 months ago and have 17,000 miles on it and absolutly love it. The only complaint I have about it is the air conditioning..... If you live in a hot state, beware. I live in ohio, which doesn't get over like, 90 degrees, and it only gets cool in my car. I have to keep it on full blast. I drove a lot of other cars, and this without a doubt was the best choice. It looks sporty, handles good, and has an all around good feel to it."

"Zooommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm,
great car to drive.
I had Civic and Corolla before I bought my Mazda3.
It is a must car to have and that too in such a cheap price."

"I purchased a Mazda 3i with a manual transmission just two months ago ($14,400 in New Jersey) and I thoroughly enjoy the car (I have already put over 3,000 miles on it). I had been searching for a car with more power but since I was only working with a small budget, I believed my options to be limited to the point where I was willing to sacrifice all other automotive comforts. Then I came across the Mazda 3i and found that I could get much more. I do a lot more highway than City driving and absolutely love everything about the car—the acceleration; which is perfect whether from a stop or in full driving mode; it’s great looks inside and out; handling; responsiveness; and great sound system which fits all in a compact car that can squeeze into the smallest parking space in New York City. Lastly, I agree with many other reviewers with regard to the air conditioning not chilling as well as it should but for me, all the other many pluses outweigh this flaw. This car is made for people like me who constantly feel the need for speed—ZOOM ZOOM!! "
