2006 Mazda 3 review from North America
"This is an affordable car that looks great and drives as well as it looks"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I got the car yesterday and so far nothing has gone wrong.
General comments?
First off, I want to say that my opinion of the car is so high because it is such a value for the money.
I got this car new for 13500 with automatic yesterday, and I had shopped around for the best car and the best price.
This car drives unbelievably well for the money I paid for it. Hands down better than other cars in the same price class I test drove (Neon, PT Cruiser, Jetta, various used Fords).
For me being a 23 year old girl, the looks and ride of this car are spot on. I'll see how this car rides after more time and re-review it, but for now it is my ideal car.
Also, the stereo controls on the steering wheel are a great touch.
