Why the 2008 Mazda Mazda3?

Handling

The Mazda3 has always impressed me with the confident handling it provides at its pricepoint. Great steering and braking response.

Reliability & durability

After 5 years of ownership and 67,000 miles, there were no major repairs. The only issue was a A/C filter problem that was fixed under warranty 2 years in.

Why Not the 2008 Mazda Mazda3?

Quietness

There was a relatively high level of cabin noise when driving at higher speeds.

Conclusion

I bought this car for several reasons: aesthetics, handling, fuel economy, and reliability. I was not disappointed in any of these after 5 years of ownership. I only ended up trading it in because I needed a bigger car.
