(Un)official car of the Epinions auto section

Date of Review:  Apr 22, 2005
The Bottom Line: The best all-around compact for those who enjoy driving.
Review: The Top Reviewers and Advisors at Epinions are a fairly diverse bunch, but they tend to have a couple of things in common. They tend to put a high priority on driving enjoyment. And they tend to not have a boatload of cash. So I guess it should come...

I love my Zoom-Zoom!

Date of Review:  Jan 18, 2005
The Bottom Line: BUY IT!
Review: This review focuses on features found on the Canadian Mazda 3 sedan(GS in Canada,3i in USA).

Mazda 3: Great Car for the Money

Date of Review:  May 20, 2005
The Bottom Line: Well-equipped car that is cheaper that a similarly equipped car in its class.
Review: I purchased a new 2005 Mazda 3s in March because I had lost my first car, a Pontiac Grand Am, when I was broadsided by an SUV. After the aftermath of that settled, I began looking at cars to replace it. I wanted a brand new car that had a good...

2005 Mazda3 GT test drive impressions

Date of Review:  Jan 2, 2005
The Bottom Line: One of the top contenders in the compact car segment.
Review: I recently test-drove a 2005 Mazda3 GT sedan. The "GT" is a Canadian designation for top-of-the-line Mazda3--the one that comes with all the power gizmos and the 160HP engine. Below are my impressions on the car.

Engine: The 2.3 liter...

A Driver's Car - Yes!

Date of Review:  Sep 1, 2005
The Bottom Line: For the price, I cannot imagine a better built, more enjoyable vehicle. Be aware that you may need to go to your dealer for oil changes
Review: I've owned a number of cars over the years, most of which were sedans with adequate room, adequate comfort, adequate performance and moderately priced. They were also all American cars.

The Mazda 3 hatchback is none of those (except...

Well built economic sporty car

Date of Review:  Mar 31, 2005
The Bottom Line: I would recommend this car to anyone. In it's price range, it is an excellent buy.
Review: I recently purchased my winning blue 2005 Mazda3 hatchback, and have about 1000 miles on it now.

The options I chose were the color, the manual transmission, and the Antilock brakes/Side Air Curtains.

To get that combination from...

A Hatchback to Keep for the Upcoming Years

Date of Review:  May 17, 2005
The Bottom Line: Good hatchback to keep for over 5 years.
Review: I have owned two VW Golfs (Golf III VR6, and Golf IV GTI GLX VR6), and I could tell you that the Mazda3 is a hatchback to keep. The Mazda3 hatchback may not be as good as the Golf IV GLX in a few department, but it certainly is a better hatchback to...

Big Bang for a Modest Price

Date of Review:  Dec 15, 2004
The Bottom Line: The most quality, performance and comfort in any car under $20k. It is one of the best looking compacts on the market inside and out.
Review: Options:
We got an S model sedan with a 4-speed automatic. We also selected the moonroof & 6 cd package, and sport package.

Previous Cars:
We traded in a fully optioned 2000 Ford Focus SE because of extensive mechanical problems...

If you don't want to look (or drive) like everyone else

Date of Review:  Sep 2, 2005
The Bottom Line: Great starter car, heck, great car, period. Looks and feels sporty. Wish it had been around when I bought my first car in 1996.
Review: Last year I was looking for a new car to replace my 1996 Dodge Neon. One of the candidates was the Mazda6. Unfortunately, I thought it didn't have enough headroom and I wasn't going to give up the sunroof. (As you'll see, that was the salesperson's...

My Mazda 3

Date of Review:  Nov 14, 2005
The Bottom Line: Great car for the price! Can't beat the room and style. If you are looking for a faster ride, definitely go with the manual transmission.
Review: I had a slight problem with my 2001 Audi A4, so I ended up having to search for a replacement car quickly. Because of my circumstances, I really needed a more economical car. Truth be told, the word economical had never entered my vocabulary until...
