2006 Mazda 3 from North America - Comments

I got the car yesterday and so far nothing has gone wrong.

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.

I am carefully watching the Mazda 3 hatch in both the 2006 and 2007 models. I was just curious as to what model and options you got for your money and what area of the country you purchased in? Thanks for your input.
