I just bought my second Mazda3.
Had an auto white hatch 05 MZ3 and got a silver gray manual 08 hatch!
Looked at some at the competiton and Mazda blows them away.
I could have gone for a new experience with a different car, but I loved the Mazda3 too much
If you already own a Mazda3, would you consider buying another one?
I wouldn't just for the fact I want something new. If I stick with my car for 8 years, I don't want to get another one. I would want something different.
yes i would buy another one if they didnt change the body style and put a 300 hp motor in it without turbo, but im not modding my 3 just to turn around and trade it in,i intend on keeping the one i have forever,if it gets boring to you,change it to something different like paint,body kits wheels, ect i cant wait till mine is paid off so i wont have car payments and alot of life left in my 3
Yes and no. Yes b/c I love my car. No b/c I have no idea if I want another car and when. It's the first time I've ever owned a car and not wanted a different one. Every time I consider something else, I get hung up on the gas mileage. I get 28mpg and there's not much else that looks as good/drives as good/is as fun to drive as the 3.

Hey, what's up man?
Thanks, I was given an offer by People's that I couldn't refuse through another lease.
I would have to use genuine Mazda parts for any mods, thinking about a sports exhaust if their price is reasonable.
The 08's are the same as the 07's as far as I know. Test drove the the Mazdaspeed 3 and that thing would be a killer for me while my insurance would go through the roof. Lots of raw power.
I love the sunlight silver on my car. I got stuck with the same pathetic Goodyears RSA's; will go to the dealer to see maybe if I can exchange them for Toyos while the car has almost no miles.
Anyway, keep in touch.
I would and will buy another 3, but I actually can't wait to get rid of my 3. I think it has a bad omen. My sister backed into it a few months ago, which lead to a scraped and now ill fitting front bumper. Yesterday, my mom parked her SUV at the top our driveway (very slight hill less than 1% grade, idk), and slammed her trunk closed because of the snow/ice. It then slid forward 15/20 feet leaving scrapes on the top of my rear bumper. Then again I did get let off after being pulled over 65 in 40. (he wasn't stationary & i pulled to the birm immediatly after I saw him start to turn around)
The real reason I want to ditch my 3...the Speed 3
We are going to buy a second Mazda 3 when the 08.5s come out.
We have an 07 Aurora Blue Auto hatch, and we're going to get an 08 Red Copper Manual Hatch in March (my husband wrecked our backup car, so we're sharing until then). We looked at a few other small type cars, but nothing really came close to the Mz3.
I traded From '04 5S mz3 to a '07 MS3 I'd definitely would buy another MS3 (for track) or maybe a next generation ms3. I know for sure I'll try to keep it in the mazda family
I'm a newbe to this forum but this is my second Mazda3 I traded in a 2005 Mazda3 SP for my 2008 MazdaSpeed3. WOW! The car is impressive. Just turned 1000 miles on the odometer, changed the oil today I feel that 1000 miles is enough for the first oil change, and yes it was black.
This car makes my 2004 RX8 feel slow.
