Hello. Just call me LaLa. ;)

I plan on buying a Mazda3. I have yet to decided if I want black on black, white on black or leather! But is there anything I should know? Kinks or common problems? Pros or cons? I'm just interested in actual driver commentary and not professional reviews. Thanks!

Hey! I have a 2004 Mazda3 S sedan (4-door) and I absolutely love it! The only complaint that I have is that the paint seems to be really weak, and as a result the paint on my front bumper has gotten scratched and dinged up from rocks that have hit it while on the road. The paint is gorgeous...it just doesn't seem to stand up well to road debris. The reliability is great with my car...I haven't had a problem yet! Hmmmm what else??? My car has a few different packages on it (6 cd changer, sunroof, sport body package w/ xenon lights, etc)..and if you're looking to get a package, out of all those I'd recommend the package with xenon lights. They're amazing and really light up the road (makes me feel much safer

That's interesting about the black paint being hotter. I also thought that was a myth! Thanks!

I think she's talking about the black interior.

I also have a 2004 Mazda3, although mine's the hatchback version. I bought it used about three months ago with just under 20,000 miles on it. Here's my advice
