Hi all, I am a proud owner of a 2005 Mazda 6i-5 door. I love it, and my girlfriend loves it so much, she wants to trade in her 2004 civic for a 2006 Mazda 3. Anything that you guys wish you didnt get as far as options, or did get? Any regrets? And are you happy with your ride? Any feedback would be amazing and I appreciate it in advance! Thanks guys!

 

I got as base of a 3i as you can get +AC. sedan crank windows, manual locks, 2.0L 5-speed. I love it. I average around 30 mpg and I'm not kind to the throttle (I think the lowest tank I ever got was high 28's, highest was around 35 mpg. I only wish I had gotten cruise control.

Careful if you start with a 3i and add options, you'll quickly hit the 3s pricing.

 

niec! Thanks man! Anymore guys?

 

yeah i also got the 3i i have cruise control, auto locks and windows, but what i always wanted fog lights, and a sunroof. Also get the 5spd so not only will help save on gas but it will also have a lower price then auto

 

ive a 2004 mazda 3s (hatchback) with everything except navigation. i couldnt be happier with everything in the car. plus, the leather is amazing.

 

i agree about the cruise control. i just got an 06 yesterday and that was the first thing i realized. i thought it was nice and cheap to have the crank windows, push locks, etc. but i drive 185 miles to and from college some times and when it gets to that time, its going to be a pain not having the cruise. other than that, the base i is just fine.

 

I bought a 2006 3 S Touring Sedan. I have power everything, leather, sunroof, 6 disc CD. Basically everything but Nav. ABSOLUTELY love it! Funnest car I've ever had.

 

Well we basically bought it. Just gotta go sign for everything in 2 days and pic it up. It is a 2006 3i Touring...It is very nice. Ill be taking it out and letting my girl take the 6. ha ha...I really like it.

 

Thanks for all the input!
