I drive a 2006 black Mazda 3, 4 door. It has a manual transmission, which I love, and looks more like a sports car than a sedan. I am a short person, so I am not able to see comfortably out of a lot of cars. I feel like my Mazda fits me perfectly, and love that I can see all the way around my vehicle. My car is definitely fun to drive; there is no lag when accelerating up inclines, and it handles curves excellently. My Mazda is almost 8 years old and has had virtually no problems. Compared to other cars I have had, it is a dream. I would definitely buy another Mazda 3, especially since they are looking more and more sporty every year.

I liked the look of the vehicle, though it could appear sportier. The vehicle drives great, except in the snow. It is very spacious and comfortable. The speakers are phenomenal, Bose speakers. The sunroof is always a nice advantage, though I usually don't use it often. It doesnÕt get the best gas mileage, and along with that, the car itself doesnÕt hold a lot of gas. I feel like I am constantly going and filing up with gas, which can get costly. The car sits very low to the ground, which can be a problem during the winter along with hitting any minor bump or parking curb. Sometimes my car makes a funny noise, though it has been looked at, nothing seems to be fixed about it. The interior however is great! Black... so it hides a lot and fairly comfortable. The roof is this strange brown or tan interior, which shows everything and doesnÕt match the rest of the car. The backseat is fairly roomy, enough for three boys to sit back there without a problem. Overall, a decent car for a high school/college student.
