I love the way it really does "zoom zoom" off the starting block and has great handling around corners. I love the interior and exterior design and the stereo with the steering wheel controls. It is great on gas, dependable and a great performing, good looking car.

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Mazda MAZDA3?
I would have to say that I would like more rear leg room.

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Mazda MAZDA3?
Great looking car. Fun to drive.

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Mazda MAZDA3?
I would improve the squeeking breaks, the quality and comfort of the interior.

2006 Mazda MAZDA3 Review:
I bought my 2006 Mazda 3s in April of 2006 and 3 months later the breaks started squeeking when it rains. About five months after I had the car, the cd/time/temp display went out and had to have it replaced, which took forever because they had to order the part, however it was under the warrenty. Be prepared to spend extra money getting the oil changed because it takes a special filter and oil that costs about $20 extra. It is a fun car to drive but I wish it were better quality for the price that I paid.

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Mazda MAZDA3?
Just purchased one and I enjoy driving it very much. The ride is nice and it reminds me alot of the Audi a4 or BMW 3 series.

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Mazda MAZDA3?
I purchased the touring i model, options get a bit pricey. There is a slight bit of road noise, and second gear it a bit sluggish. Other than those minor things, this car rides better than any in its class, I have driven most including civic, corolla, scion, and volkswagon. Functionally the Mazda has proven itself in reliability and quality.

2006 Mazda MAZDA3 Review:
One further comment, those who are looking to purchase the "best value two" (Honda and Toyota) should take into consideration the much overlooked Mazda 3.
