2006 Mazda 3 GT review from North America
"Very good car and highly recommend."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Once in a while the CD Changer stops working and the only thing I can listen to is the radio. But after I turn off the car for a while and come back in and start it everything works just fine.
General comments?
I've driven a lot of cars and this is one of the best I ever have. The best value you could ever get for a car with the options. I get many complements for having a "really nice car" Mines a Maroon with rear spoiler and stock 17' rims. After you wash it the paint really shines and looks great. All the options make me feel like im driving a luxury german sedan instead of a $20,000 Mazda. I have a 6 disk CD changer with Bose System which have really good sound and gets very loud. The leather seats are very comfortable and easy to take care of. The seat warmers work great and start heating as soon as you turn them on. The Semi-Automatic transmition is very fun to drive. It gives me something to do when im driving alone or feel like going fast. The engine is small but quick and has good power behind it. I've maxed the car out at 117mph before I ran out of road and the braking was great. highly recommend this car for anyone that's looking for the ideal sports sedan.
