be available. Overall it depends what you want to do with the car, if you're going to mod it for speed even the engine size its bigger then a civic e.g it may still be faster because its lighter. Re: What do you think about your mazda 3? 1. Yes, more so when I made it my own with the current mods 2. The car is 5 years old so nothing I didn't expect. Currently at 132,000K 3. Rust. Luckily Mazda stepped up and replaced the rear doors. 4. Nope, no more than my previous Nissan's or Honda's. Luckily I have an honest mechanic with fair prices. Prolly would not have found out about his shop if I never had a 3.
