2004 Mazda Mazda3 consumer reviews

I purchased a Mazda3 in 10/22 with 189000 miles on it. I am impressed with the reliability before I changed the oil and spark plugs. after it has showed a lot of improvements. I have put over 1000 miles on it in a month and has been very reliable. I had a Mazda6 about a year earlier that was nothing but problem after problem with less miles than the 3. I would highly recommend the Mazda3 over the Mazda6.

What an amazing car! It was purchased to replace a totaled Mustang and I also wanted a little more carrying capacity. I never expected it would be such a great, fun car. I just love it in all regards! A wonderful buy! I would be pleased to drive this winner forever!

We owned the 3 with 2.5L engine for about 5 years. It was a fun and sporty looking compact sedan. Handling was great, especially considering the price. However, the 4 speed tranny could’ve used an extra gear or two. It was too buzzy on the highway. And fuel economy was only high 20s on the HW. A Honda Civic would’ve gotten mid 30s. Overall, it was a fun and reliable starter car. Would highly recommend it over the Civic, Sentra etc if you don’t mind the extra fuel it uses.

Can't say enough about this car! It's very tough, and very reliable! Mine is an 04 w 199,000. 55,000 of I put on. Runs great and everything works! Love my Mazda! ZOOM ZOOM ZOOM!

Great car that has a lot of life left in it. Great for first time car owners or someone who wants to modify it. Reliable car just needs some tlc

I've really enjoyed this car. Sporty and fun to drive, with lots of usable room because it's a hatchback. Fuel economy is good but not great (27-28 MPG) but overall I've been happy with it.

This car is very dependable, reliable, & peppy. I LOVE driving it! ONLY reason for selling and upgrading is b/c my back problem, arthritis and old age - I need a back up camera -can no longer twist around to look.

I would of still keep the car if it wasn?t so much rusted and axle problems . Car drive smooth , nice original yellow color

It just turned 166000 miles and doesn?t use a drop of oil. Transmission is fine. This car handles great and is fun to drive. Had to replace front struts at 100k, but that?s expected.

Great commute car, gas saver, relievable car. this car meet all my expectations you can count with it in your daily drive to work or school.
