Best Manual Transmission!
This car was my first manual and I love it. So easy to drive, and the perfect size. Lots of interior space and trunk space too! The handling is incredible and I can drive back and forth from each end of the city a dozen times without even thinking about filling up. Best car I've had.

Good Car, Good value.
I drive half an hour every day to go to work and again to come home in my Mazda3. This car has been faithful with minimal problems. Although no recommended, I had a ball installed and have had no problems towing small loads. There has been some rust and electronics issues, but nothing major and nothing that you wouldn't get with any other car. Great on gas, fill up once a week only. All and all, i love my Mazda3 and will most likely buy another one when that time comes.

Mazda3 - 2006 , Terribly not rust proof , the motor,clutch , transmission can take a lot of beating!
I bought mine from a deal 1500$ wich was a decent price a year aga , 243k`km I'm at 248k and spent 2800$ on repairs . including , alternator , barjoints , front left table , rear left shock , everything is falling apart one afther another.....

Now I have the same shock to do..... its about confortable , quite surprising for the horsepowers , great motor , it has received a lot of hard times on the clutch , transmission , nothing has failed me on the mechanical aspect beside the alternator.

two thing to take in consideration 1st , nothing stop it from rusting , 2nd reliable mechanic , for an old model its quite economic and like anything made by Japanese , it is a good car !

easy to find parts , not so expansive compared to other brands....

hard to sell back , since the rust hit the car like sun in summer....

to say short and sweet !

bag of rust with good guts and bad legs !

Economic basic car
Had a normal experience with this car. Exterior design is pretty basic (black color). Interior was pretty ok. Had some issue with rust in my past white mazda 3 but now it is less apparent on the new baby. Engine is not loud, perfect for some family ride. Had some issues with the tires but not that big deal. Braking with this car is good and easy. Fuel consumption is ok, no big deal I can make some 100 km with a little more than a quarter. Had a pretty normal experience to sum up. A good car for a little family and for someone that want an easy and normal looking car.

Great car: 2006 Mazda3 GT Hatchback
I had this car for 8 years. Never a problem. In 2006 it was nicknamed by the specialists a "luxury car impersonator" for the interior materials and finishing. Everything aged very well and it still looks better in interior than many 2017 models! Lots of power and fun to drive. Great car!

I love this car!
I am a Mazda lover; I bought this from a friend for commute, and I was surprised with the performance of the car. Since it has manual transmission, you can have a very good control on fuel economy: you drive it smooth, you get 600+ Kms on a tank, you drive it sporty, you will get 500 Kms. The response is very quick and powerful, so it will fly when needed. The steering is the sharpest one I know; a little move to the steering wheel is more than enough to avoid a pothole. Very roomy, you would not believe how much stuff I had loaded on this car. The A/C is terrific, as well as the heater. It does not take long before you feel nice inside. Sound is great, and I listen to my CDs very loud when driving alone.

Very Reliable Car
This car is excellent on gas and is extremely reliable. The vehicle tends to get a combined 7.7L/100 Km mileage. The manual transmission give the car a lot of pep and is a lot of fun to drive and the interior very comfortable and efficient.

Sporty yet practical
This 5 speed car is fun to drive. It is roomy enough to fit my three boys. The moon/sun roof allows for fresh air intake and creates a sporty feel. Many auto/power features makes you feel spoiled. Great sound system! Enjoy.

Mazda3 2006 GT Awesome car!
Very reliable and stylish looking car. I love the pick up it has and driving around the city. "My" first car - drove lots of other cars before, too big, like this one the best. Test drove lots of different makes before settling on Mazda. Have great pride in my zippy little car, easy to drive and park into smaller spaces, great to drive on the highway, good mileage, love the GT feel, never had it break down or had issues, leather seats and sun roof is cool too.

Great performance
I have had this car for 4 years now and I have only had one problem with it
This car is great on gas and goes for a long time.
Driving in the winter is wonderful because the car is heavy and it works really well through the ice and snow.
I have had a great experience with this car.

Great car for your money!
This car has been more than just a reliable car for me, it has given my wife and I many great experiences with traveling, camping, etc. Being a manual drive, it has always been a joy to drive and providing you more control, especially during the winter months. This car has big bang for your buck, it's easy, simple and affordable, you won't be disappointed.

It is a great car
This car is very comfortable and reliable. It is a great family car. You can take it anywhere without any hesitation. I am the only one that drives this car. It is very neat and clean from inside and the thing I love about my vehicle is the colour the inside and outside colour though it gets dirty, but I still love a car that is white.

Its a drivers ride!
This car is very sporty looking yet can be useful for a small family of 3 or 4 people.
The interior and exterior is very distinct and makes it look very sleek, especially the rear of the car from the exterior.
The make is very comfortable and smooth to drive.
