Seller’s notes about this car

5 speed manual. Car runs well, no rust, clean title, 224k miles, clutch has been replaced twice using the parts seen in the pictures. Interior is 9/10. Needs a new AC compressor. Windows go up and down but need new window motors. Needs a passenger front side outer tie rod. New Alternator 7 months old. Battery is 1 year old. Tints on the rear windows started peeling off during the summer but haven’t replaced any of the tint. Overall great car and the high mileage is work commute/expressway miles. Serious offers please.

We bought a 2008 Mazda 3 Touring hatchback new.

We bought a 2008 Mazda 3 Touring hatchback new. We have driven it for over 15 years / 150,000 miles and have never had anything major break on this car. We change the oil about every 5,000 miles and had to do some work on the C/V joints at about 100K miles. We didn't even need a new clutch until 140K miles. This car handles great, has plenty of acceleration with the 5 speed manual and gets great gas mileage.

Best starter car

Ive had this car for almost a year and ive put it on aftermarket suspension and it runs great. Only issue ive ever had was with a bad electrical grounding to the fuel pump caused by the rough suspension. Insanely gas efficient and is very fun and is very toque-y in low gears. An amazing first car

It's ok, the AC and heat are weak

Very basic, good on gas, the heat and AC are very weak. The brakes have always been a bit squishy. I wish they were tighter. Otherwise, it's ok.
