Anyone have one? Thoughts on the vehicle? Any issues with it?

I have a 2006. I've never had a problem with it and it still runs good and looks good. I've never parked it in a garage either.

Get the speed3 version.

Both the Mazda3 and Mazda6 are fantastic cars. Both made Car and Drivers 10 Best List
I really went back and forth before getting a 2015 Mazda 6. I decided I was ready for something a little bigger.
I had a 2005 Mazda 3 that was a great car.

I test drove a 2014
Nice car. I think it's one of the best values out there.

I had a 2012 Mazda 3 hatchback for about 6 months as a company car. I drove it like gas was free, which it was for me, and still avg'ed around 34 mpg. It wasn't a bad car at all, just don't plan to put anyone in the backseat, especially a child's car seat. Had lots of room in the hatch though.

I think so.
I get compliments on mine all the time and asked what car it is. Looks and feels much more expensive than it is.

I would second the small back seat. I wouldn't call it a family car. Not bad for someone that only has one passenger.

Have driven a 2014 6 and it felt just as solid and refined to drive as my grandmother's 2012 $60,000 Jaguar XF. I can't imagine the 3 is too far off.

I'm nearly certain I will be alone in this thinking.
My wife had a 2008 Mazda 3 and the majority of the time it was a great car. Personally, I could tell how cheaply made certain things on the car were. The paint on the car being one of them. For whatever reason anything that touches it chips the paint and the clear coat fades. Same with the aluminum rims.
We put about 100k miles on hers and the only major thing that went out was the A/C. It sounded like shite for about the last 40k miles.
So yeah probably still a good little car, but the build quality on certain things erked the shite out of me.
I hear the new ones with the 2.5 in them will scoot though.

2005 Mazda 3s was my first brand new car, and I'm still driving it today. In that time, I've changed the tires, the battery, the thermostat, and one motor mount. (Not counting normal preventative maintenance.) I don't think that's too shabby. Also, I was able to all this repairs myself, and I'm not mechanically inclined. It's super easy to work on. Before this I owned an early 90's Camaro and it was an ever loving bitch to do anything to, but the Mazda is super easy to maintain.

Mazda has done a fantastic job with the new 3 and 6 and reviews are really strong. Only downside I read was interior electronics weren't up to par with some others but as far as the ride it was great and for the price!!

I don't know. I can't find anything wrong with mine other than I find myself not using the center console controls at all. I use the hands free, bluetooth, Pandora, voice controls, etc... all the time. I have the Bose system though. Not sure if it is any different.

My xGF had a loaded 2012 sedan. It was ugly to me but eventually super impressed in its weekly drive between Seattle and Portland. Solid car for the price, great on gas too.
Like the look of the newer ones better but can do without the placement of the dash screen. Have a want for the '15 hatchback.
