An Outstanding Bargain

I've had my Mazda 3 for twelve years and feel I have gotten away with murder, neglecting many scheduled maintenance tasks and somehow piling on 300,000 miles while putting very little money into the car.

Love it.

It was my first ever new car. So I also purchased the V.I.P. package and so glad I did. I kept every appointment since my original purchase. Within the 12 years of ownership the only major repair done was the computer module that regulates the transmission.

My first 4 cylinder car

This is my very first 4 cylinder car and everyday I’m impressed on its performance. It’s quick, it hugs the road in all weather, it’s a solid ride and it’s comfortable. I love it and I recommend it.

Mighty Mazda

We are the 3rd owner of a Mazda 3 and love it. We have had 8 Mazdas over the years in our family and they have been bulletproof. Sporty, looks good, runs well, fun to drive and can actually haul quite a bit with the seats down. Wife has 172k miles on it and still going strong.

Love my zoom zoom

Love be my Mazda 3....great gas mileage and it has way more room for carting things around than you would imagine. I am hoping that I can get many more years with it as it is 10 years old and only has 88500 miles on it!

Love my Mazda

It’s a great little car and I’d buy another one It’s a great little car and I’d buy another one It’s a great little car and I’d buy another one Love the hatchback and drop down seats which provides a lit of flexibility in carting thing around. It’s cute and peppy. Love the heated leather seats which I never thought I’d like.

Fun

As we are approaching almost 200k miles, we have had no issues other than routine maintenance. It's a fun little car to drive.

Mazda 3

The car has been very reliable for us. I like the way it drive and it has plenty of pick up for a 4 cylinder. Lots of cargo room for hauling purchases and moving stuff.

A car that lasts, and is fun to drive.

I would not hesitate to get any type of Mazda in the future, however the Mazda 3 is a great size, and handles well. This particular 2008 model does have a somewhat weak A/C for Florida, but otherwise is superb. I believe the latest models are PRIMO! 122,000 miles is not bad either.

2008 Mazda 3 Hatchback

This vehicle is hard to find used because they last so long and everybody who owns one, loves it. (Okay, there are exceptions, of course.) We sought out the manual transmission because we like to actually DRIVE the car. Rated as a compact, there is tons of space, especially when you fold down seats. The three of us took a 4000mile vacation and we hauled our luggage, two guitars and two small amplifiers, two ukuleles and enough stuff to keep my eight year-old entertained. Highway we get 35-37 and in town a pretty steady 28mpg. I'm a former Porsche mechanic and this thing is zippy enough to keep ME entertained. Handling is exceptional. Got this car with 60K and have put 30K on it with the only con being the a/c was undercharged when I got it. Zoom-zoom!

Affordable and dependable

I've had my Mazda 3 Grand Touring Hatchback since new. The car is fun to drive, affordable and dependable. With 155+K on the odometer I've only had to do routine maintenance. This has been a great car!
