    Mazda 3

    I know that Mazda is going to replace the 3 with a new model on 2010, but I really like the current one. I have seen the pictures of the new one .. and it's just not .. I dunno, not for me.

    I found one I like ... thoughts?

    It's sharp...I really like the interior. I'm a Ford guy so I have really no opinion on Mazda overall...but the interior is a selling point for me!

    Re: Mazda 3

    I only own Mazdas since 1993 and one GM. I've had the MX3, MX6, Protege, MPV. I have to say, I've never had problems with the Mazdas. I even had one until it hit 200,000 miles before I traded it off. Usually, I keep them until 150,000 miles before I start looking for another one. The Protege I gave to my dad at 100,000 miles and he still drives it until today. Last time I checked it had over 160,000 miles on it. There was a problem with it that made the check engine light turn on - something they said was common to Proteges. Costed $1,200 to fix! But, other than that, all my Mazdas were good. As long as you keep up with regular maintenance and take care of your car, it just keeps on going and going and going...

    I'm a truck person myself, but that is a nice looking car. I'd have to agree that the interior looks very sharp.

    The interior is one of the things that made me look closer at this one. I like the exterior color too. I dunno .. If the dealer can work out something that gets me where I want to be, I think we have a winner.

    That may be harder that usual due to my credit history being less than stellar (not bad .. just not AWESOME) and the banks wanting to keep all their monies. I have a feeling though that is the dealer want to sell the car, they will find a way.

    Oh he has a way. It's called a higher interest rate. Can you join a Credit Union? They usually offer a good rate to their members. The dealership can usually only give you a better rate when the auto companies are offering low or no interest as an incentive. It'a sharp car. It's you.

    Ive always heard good things about the 3's .I've had my mazda RX-8 for about a year and a half and I've loved it from the first time I drove it. My choice was between a 350z and the mazda and after driving the mazda I never looked back to a z.

    I LOVE the RX8, but there are a few things that keeps me from seeking to purchase one.

    1) I am a 21yo Male. Insurance would tear me apart is I owned one.

    2) The Wankle. It's a great power producing engine, but the fuel mileage and emissions would make me cringe everytime I started it up

    3) I need a bit more space for people and things. I LAN, and it takes a lot of room to move my computer.

    I must say though, there are few cars that I like to look at more than the RX8 (well, cars within my reach)
