I've had my Mazda3 for 4 years now. I love the style, much more than the newer versions of the 3 series. It is stylish both inside and out with several upgrades that come standard. The only complaint I would have about the Mazda3 is that I have worn through tires fairly quickly. I don't believe its due to my driving style although I do drive a lot (highway). That gas mileage is great but my tires wear in strange patterns even with regular tire rotation. I have always bought good tires and never had trouble with tires before.
