The Mazda 3 is one of my favourite cars to drive at work. Mazda is trying hard to make its regular lineup feel sporty, they have succeeded with the Protege, the 3 is even better. This car handles beautifully and is not lost on power either. With its great handling and reasonable power, its fun to drive this car anywhere.

Seats are reasonably comfortable and interior materials are modest. Interior colour choices are lacking though, most of the colours you can select only have a black interior. Fuel economy is average, so its not as good as a Civic or Corolla but I rather spend a bit more on fuel to have a better driving experience. The Mazda 3 has a somewhat weak body, it doesn't take fender benders or hail damage very well. Outside of that its a fantastic car.

With its beautiful Ute red paint, all who behold it are instantly jealous.  Indeed, the attitude of this baby comes out in its ability to communicate to the driver confidence and control.  From initial looks and feel to performance and economy, this car screams, "I am your car!"  It's no sports car (and it won't cost you anywhere close to one), but it gives you the best driver-car relationship anyone could ask for for under 17 grand.

I absolutely love it, has good acceleration, 2.0 liter 148 hp, fuel efficent with 32 miles per gallon.  Got the Value Edition with some extras, looks well built has some nice features such as volume controls on the steering wheel, ABS / EBD, Side Air bags is nice.  Breaking and handling is solid, no odd noises or anything out of the ordinary.  Its a blast to drive.  Got mine for a deal, 0% and for about 17.5k.  Not bad for a nice car.
