Hello All, I just purchased my 1st Mazda, a '08 Mazda3 i-sport. So far i love driving the car, and have plenty of fun zooming around with my 5-speed!!

 

Heck yea, that sounds good to me. Ive had my 03 MP5 for a while and i still cant wait to drive it every day. Hope you enjoy your new ride...

 

I am a first time Mazda owner too. I bought an '08, black Speed3 in August.It'sbeen way more fun to drive than my '04 Accord!

 

I know I don't have a brand new one but Im in love with my MX6. I get her in my hands this week after some work is being done. I am a first time Mazda owner but have heard nothing but good things about these cars. Hope to talk to you all soon!

 

Love how the car drives & handles. It's been bout 10yrs since i last drove a stick, and the transition has gone very smoothly. I've put 600 miles on the car in the 1st week. Mpg is outstanding, i've averageabout 35 Mpg, in the first week. Most of the mileage has been highway mileage.Only complaint i have is i need to get in the shop due the the trunk release does not work. Otherwise i'm appreciate my new investment!!

 

What RPM's are up doing to get 35mpg we just got a 5sp m3 5door and my wife got 26 with mostly highway driving doing @3200

 

I keep it at or under 3000 rpm's, and the 35 mpg was alot of highway mileage. I get about 32 mpg for my commute to and from work, and any city driving on the weekends.

 

i have a 07 6 5 speed i love it it is a fun driving car but if you got your mazda for high mpgs i got like 400 miles to a tank of fuel but i put a k&n oem replacement air filter in it now it gets like 560 miles to a tankits a really good improvement for 40 bucks it really pays for itself but you have to keep it clean

 

im with you i have an 08 mazda3 and it is soo much fun to drive. i enjoy every minute of driving it. have a few things to fix but thats not a big deal. all in all its soo much fun.
