Excellent car
I bought it when it was 4yrs old at 52k miles. With routine oil changes using royal purple all the 7 yrs i owned kept it top notch i guess. Replaced the spark plugs once at 75k. Had it until 125k when i traded it in. I drove it alot and it never gave me issues. Replaced the controp arms on both sides at 100k. But other than i never had a mechanical issue. No interior rattles at all! Never had a headlight go out. All the buttons and knobs worked till i traded it in. Great great car. I knew at some point at like 150k or so id have to replace the timing chain. Which costs a good chunk of change to do. Such a good car that i bought a 13' mazda 3 a week ago for the wife. She grew to love them too. Oh ya.never had turbo problems/turbo smoke in exhaust. No oil leaks at all. People tripped out on how well built it came.

My Mazda 3 gets great gas mileage. It's smaller but big enough to meet my needs. It also has over 200,000 miles besides a few dings it still looks pretty good and runs pretty good

Sporty, compact, good feel efficiency, and a great looking car.
I really like the sporty feel of my 2008 Mazda three. It's handling and Exceller ration or just zippy enough for me to be able to drive and have fun while still maintaining a good mile per gallon average. My only complaint would be the grade of paint that Was used from the factory. It chipped very easily and after 100,000 miles needs to be repainted. Overall this car is fun to drive, I love the way it looks, and it's great on gas.

Mazda 3 - sporty and reliable.
My Mazda 3 manual shift sedan has been incredibly reliable. There is not too much room in the back for passengers who may be taller or larger, but plenty of legroom in the front. The trunk is also surprisingly a good size for the size of the vehicle. It shifts smoothly and I have not had any significant problems with it since I bought it 2 years ago. It is also very good on gas and maintenance is reasonable.

Very few repairs. Changing tires was difficult.
Easy to drive, comfortable, starts every day. Nice stereo radio and CD player. The back seats are tight if you try 3 people but manageable for 2.

Fast & reliable car, but could use some work
I love that it is a fast and compact car. Drives and runs well, however, I have had the common issue of a sensor going out which causes my engine light to go off and on whenever it wants to, it has given me many scares. Also, the lever to open my trunk from the driver side does not work. I've had problems with some of the power windows getting stuck and not wanting to open/close.

Make your dreams come true. Be who you want to be, Mazda will take you there.
I bought this car with very short notice. I was leary due to not investigating important things about the car. However, we needed a car that very day. I have been nothing but happy with my Mazda. We've had it for about or so now and have had 0 problems with the car. Not only is it a cute little car, sort of sporty looking, it is dependable. The only maintenance the car has needed is its regular oil change and regular tune up. Which everything was fantastic. I also have a little one and needed to ensure the vehicle was safe for her as well. It has child lock doors and windows. It has the seat belt clip for the car seat by the rear headrests. I can rest at ease knowing my daughter is safe. We have had smooth driving on the freeway and for those that like to catch up quickly, this is the car for you. For those that like a slower speed, this is also the car for you. Either fast or slow it is a high performance vehicle. It meets the needs of families, couples or single people. It has a/c in back and front for comfort on hot days. It also has heaters on front and back for chilly days and nights. The seats are built for comfort. Whether you're going on a long road trip or a short jaunt to the local grocery store you will be happy to jump into your Mazda. The Mazda features comforts like cruise control, computerized technology to let you know if your low on oil, getting a flat tire and everything else you would need to know to keep your car driving safe and clean. It also features Bluetooth,Mp3 and all the other commodities to make your drive (or ride) the most comfortable, safe and reliable as it can be. I love my Mazda 3!!

Issues of owning a manual base model Mazda 3 with no power features.
I had a heat sensor fail a couple years ago, but that is about the only mechanical problem I have encountered. Right now there is a strong rattle that developed around 100, 000 miles, but I haven't gotten a chance to check what the issue is yet.

2008 Mazda 3 review: a good first car.
I got my car used with about 100,000 miles on it. I have had very few issues with the vehicle, and none of them have been serious. . The door handle on the driver's side had the interior mechanism break, and I couldn't use it until I got it replaced. But in fairness the cable snapped inside the door in extreme cold (-40 degree winter storm), so that is understandable. Sometimes the lock on the passenger side door does not unlock automatically. My front speakers didn't work when I got the car. I have had no actual issues with the vehicle (breakdowns or anything like that).

I love my Mazda 3- it's fun to drive and reliable too.
The 2008 Mazda 3 has been a very reliable vehicle. Mine has the standard 5 speed transmission. This little car has some get up and go when needed, but rides smoothly and is good on gas. Overall maintenance has been routine. Mechanical problems have been limited and well beyond expected timeframe and mileage to occur. This is a well-built, fun car. Being an older car, there are still some things I am able to fix myself which is a real money saver. For things that require a mechanic, costs are average, I think because the parts are not specialty and are fairly common... This helps a lot in terms of saving money and convenience of places having needed parts readily available.

The take off on this car is phenomenal and brakes work great.
AT transmission went bad after some time and if your tires are not perfectly balanced and aligned the car tends to shake a lot. Besides that the car is reliable and rides smoothly. Body of the car is perfect size for an average sized person. If your tall you may want to think about a Mazda 6 instead.

It is very reliable and can drive forever.
My Mazda3 is a great little car. Definitely on the small side but luckily I am not a large person. It is very reliable and it accelerates quickly which is fun.

Gas mileage is great for not being an electric car which helps me on hour long commutes
Compact, speedy, attractive car. Great gas mileage. Comfortable and great sound system. Have had a lot of issues with transmission and computer in the car.

The car is dependable and runs well.
I love manual transmission. It has been a dependable car. I had to replace the transmission and clutch in the life of the car.

It is a reliable car that has plenty of room to haul things and plenty of room in the back seat for car seats.
It has always been a reliable car. I love the way it looks and that it has plenty of room. The only issues I've ever had with it are the wires to the rear view mirror went bad and it kept draining my battery. But, all in all i do not regret my decision to buy it.

It's a great car and doesn't require much maintenance.
The Bluetooth feature that came in the car is the best I've ever seen/used. The gas mileage is fantastic. All around a great car

It will get you from point A to point B.
The car works great. Reliable and only issue is passenger door window gets stuck sometimes. Air conditioning works well

It gets great mileage and steers very easily and smoothly.
This vehicle runs very smoothly. My one complaint about it would be that it's low to the ground. I'm short, but I can reach the pedals easily.

Big Mazda3 fans thanks to comfort and price point
We love the variable speeds of the windshield wipers, the sleek look of the car, the hatchback that fits everything we want it to, and the comfortable seats. The car headlights are dimmer than we would like them to be (unless the high beams are on) and the AC doesn't work super well, but we did buy a ten-year-old car, so that's on us.

It a great value for the price I paid for it and it runs well.
It drives well and does not have any problems. It has good gas mileage and its a cute shape. It is getting a bit old, but that is the only thing I dislike.

Well built, good running Mazda 3.
We bought it as an r-title. Nothing really wrong with it. Handles well. Manual transmission shifts smooth. Has a good bit of room for a sedan. Has a lot if trunk space. Gas mileage is great. When the time comes to get another car, I would personally purchase another Mazda. It's a well built, good running car.
