How do you like your Mazda 3?

My wife needed a replacement for her 2-door '96 Civic hatchback, since we have a second kid on the way, so we got back from the dealer a couple hours ago with a Mazda 3. The base model - no power windows or locks, just ABS and airbags as options. The test drive was quite fun and driving it home I wished I’d made a deal to get a car for myself and give her mine…

So I’m happy now, with all of 30 miles on the odometer, but how do you like yours now that the honeymoon has worn off? Any maintenance problems? Any quirks? Or is it pretty much perfect?

So far, so good for us. The customer service has been superb, no problems, great gas mileage (well, certainly better than the 300ZX we traded in) - still pretty much the same shape as when we bought it, new, last August or September. We took it to Leavenworth and drove around in the snow and ice with no problems at all. My husband loves it. I love it, too, but I rarely drive. :wink:

Hope you are happy with it. We are, so far. :cool:
