I like the Mazda 3, I just think the trunk deck is too short and looks unproportional, I'd take a 1st gen Mazda 6 if I got the chance, especially if it was the MazdaSpeed 6.

I got 350 miles on it so far and really liking it.

Going to Nashville tomorrow so we will see how it does on a long trip!

Anyone knows how long it takes the dealer to pay off a loan? My S2k loan still isnt paid off yet and been two weeks!

Actually they frown upon political threads on the Off Topic section.

My friends Mazdaspeed 3 went in to the shop last week... He though that he just burnt up the clutch doing a burnout, idiot, turns out he fried the clutch, flywheel and that the transmission was broken. In multiple gears the teeth were broken, they are covering the transmission and all of the labor. He got lucky this time, the service guy told him if it happens again they will not be covering any of it. The tranny is $5000-6000 I have been told.

Hit 3k miles already on the Mazda3. Still drives great and im still impressed how well it handles. Stays super flat in the turns.

Not saying its some sports car or anything.

not sure, maybe they should start flying them in rather than shipping them.

My supervisor just got one, nice car. 2006 3s, black on black with leather and 50k but he got it for 10 or 12,000 can't remember. Looks like its brand new. Don't like the orange lighting at all though
