Pros: What do you like about 2006 Mazda MAZDA3?
Just purchased one and I enjoy driving it very much. The ride is nice and it reminds me alot of the Audi a4 or BMW 3 series.
Cons: How would you improve 2006 Mazda MAZDA3?
I purchased the touring i model, options get a bit pricey. There is a slight bit of road noise, and second gear it a bit sluggish. Other than those minor things, this car rides better than any in its class, I have driven most including civic, corolla, scion, and volkswagon. Functionally the Mazda has proven itself in reliability and quality.
2006 Mazda MAZDA3 Review:
One further comment, those who are looking to purchase the "best value two" (Honda and Toyota) should take into consideration the much overlooked Mazda 3.
