CONS: Lots of torque steer when you push the tiptronic hard

REVIEW: I love this car! What a great value. Only one serious beef...the factory tires are some of the worst I have ever ridden in the snow. Imagine a front wheel drive car getting stuck in 1/2 inch of snow! I blew away the stock tires and got some real rubber from tirerack.com. Then the Mazda just ...

CONS: too many problems

REVIEW: I purchased my Mazda 3 in August of 2004 and I have had so many problems with it. Every single light possible that can come on has come on (airbag lights, engine oil light, automatic transaxle light). My car has been in the shop more time then I can remember. I was told from somebody that all ...

CONS: loud road noise

REVIEW: Road noise is terible. Came with Toyo tires.Bought Michlins best at a cost of $400. Road noise was improved a bit but forget the radio when traveling on the turnpike.Gauges can't be read in the daytime. Good at night. ...

CONS: Transmission Failure - TWICE

REVIEW: I have a 2004 Mazda 3 - Purchased in March 2004. In December 2005, my transmission had to be replaced. Mazda told me they replaced it with a "New Transmission" - which they just happened to have on hand at the dealership. January 2006 - my transmission starts playing up again. After 2 ...

CONS: brake dust, needs to be mazdaspeeded up (turbo), not alot of low end power.

REVIEW: they deffinetly could use a turbo. Low end power is not there. can't really pull out in traffic. High end power is there for what the car is. Handles amazing, brakes amazing. Overall, a good buy and by the looks of it, mazda 3's are takin over the roads... ...

CONS: my tires wore out at 8000 and performance parts are hard to come by

REVIEW: the seats are comfortable even after a thousand miles non stop. it feels like you become the car and it has a forgiving clutch. there is a lot of room in the engine compartment. The car can also hold a buddy, myself and all our snowboarding gear inside quite comfortably. I always look forward to ...

CONS: not great in snow.

REVIEW: Love the car. Flawless fit, trim, and workmanship. Not a single issue in over 9,000 miles. Handling is great and very responsive. 5 speed is smooth with a very easy clutch. Fuel economy is in range of 28-31 which for me is primarily freeway. If you keep it at or below 3000 rpm's you get the ...

CONS: Disappointing fuel economy, ride can be a bit rough, rear visibility could be better

REVIEW: I've had my Mazda3 Sport for about half a year now, and it's been great. Mazda has definitely shaken up the compact car market with this car - this certainly isn't an econobox. The 3 has excellent performance. It's really a thrill to drive. Steering is tight and precise, and ...
