We bought a new Mazda3 for the grandson. I'm new to Mazda cars but have had Subes, Honda's and a Murano since the 80's. So I only go with Japanese.
My daughter is a Mazda "nut" and we made some changes allowing me to take her CX-9 and freeing her from the payments, so here I am. With the "3" how do they hold up (I suspect well) any typical issues that will come up. It's a lot of car for the money.
