Mazda Mazda3 Usados en Venta en San Diego, CA

In 2004, this was Mazda's answer to the estimable Honda Civic, and it came to be seen as an incredible car at this price point. While the sedan did nothing for me, the hatchback had fantastic looks and great utility. I got mine with the moon roof/CD changer package, painted "Winning Blue," for around $18,500.

My car drives really smooth. It seems very reliable, and I've never had any trouble with it. I've driven it across the country, as well as up and down the coast taking my daughter to and from school. It makes the drive go by quick. It's compact enough to fit anywhere, yet spacious enough to fit a car full of people or a dorm room full of luggage. Sometimes I forget how fast I'm going because of how easy it feels in this car. I do have to say, I think this is one of those cars that will get pulled over more often than others. Whenever I pull into driveways or any parking lot that is raised up, the bottom of my car scrapes. I've had to figure out the perfect way to pull into my driveway for it not to scrape. We've taken this car up into the mountains (not in the snow) and it performed great, didn't slow down and continued to compete with the big trucks. The breaks on my car have always made noise, even after break changes, etc., but that might just be my car.
