hey man

I've had a 3 since it came out. I've loved it, and had no problems with it so far. It features good power for its class, along with looks and nice options. The 'i' is the base model btw, I suggest you check out the mazda forums

The hatch may be for girls, but it's a much more practical car.

My brother has a 2.3 sedan. It looks aggressive and sporty. Kind of reminds me of an angry bullet.

It's probably angry because it's a Mazda 3.

Srsly, I like the Mazda 3 hatches. I don't think the sedans have quite the aggressive look that the hatches do, but they look good as well. Do the standard Mazda models use the same direct fuel injection that the MazdaSpeeds use?

Thumbs up

My wife drives an '05 steel gray hatch. It's a great car. I love the styling, mpg and functionality. Can fit a cooler and some camping gear, good grocery getter. Just a very nice get up and go car.

I've heard great things about the 3 hatch as well. I've just never been into Mazdas
