Used 2006 Mazda MAZDA3 for Sale near Brantford, ON

This Mazda has been our reliable companion since my Sentra was totaled. I bought it because it was the most stylish, best performing car I could afford brand new. After about 55,000 miles, the only reliability issues I've had were minor annoyances related to my own modifications. Mazdas are known for their sharp driving dynamics, and this car is no exception. My Mazda3 does great on twisty roads, especially after equipping Mazdaspeed sport springs and dampers and W rated Kuhmo tires. The way it shifts, steers, and brakes far exceeds the standard for base price sedans. And because of my custom exhaust, everyone knows I'm coming when they hear the signature "BWAAAAAAR!" The Mazda3's styling, inside and out, is also a cut above other small cars. Everyone who rides in it comments about how nice the interior is. My only two issues with it, (and I'm being really picky here) are the lack of power, and that it sometimes experiences wheel hop when accelerating from a stop on wet pavement. So if you can afford it, buy a Mazdaspped3! I drive it pretty hard and it still gets 26mpg and has never needed major repair. It's fun to drive and it still carries my family and our stuff. We love our Mazda3!

Lots of pickup for a small car. Handles very well, very sporty. Gas mileage can be good if you drive it reasonably. Interior only available in black when I bought it, so it gets a little warm in there. This car is very fun to drive. Would recommend to anyone looking for an inexpensive yet fun car.

The car handles really well, huge brakes, and real peppy. Something you wouldn't expect out of a 4cyl compact car. All for a better value than a Civic Si, and for more power check out the 263hp mazdaspeed3

This is a GREAT car. Awsome bang for the buck, great performance and handling. This car is truly where great gas mileage meets great car performance.

I see these cars everywhere these days and for good reason. Zoom-zoom-zoom is right on in terms of performance. I have the 2.3 liter engine with a manual transmission and wide low-profile tires; it corners flat and hard, with lots of pickup, and an overall great driving experience. However, while not a gas guzzler, the Mazda 3 does not fare quiet as well as some of its Japanese competition in terms of fuel economy. Expect only 20-24 mpg in heavy city driving or if you generally don't have a light touch on the accelerator. While I have squeezed up to 34 mpg on the highway, this is not typical everyday mileage. The Mazda 3 does not have a timing belt and it's maintenance costs have been pretty low so far, although I am coming up on a 75k mile tuneup so we'll see. This car is popular with both men and women, which attests to its ease of operation, stylish looks, low maintenance requirements, and overall good performance. If you can find a good price on one, snap it up and you won't look back.
