While Mazda may have had those ages in mind for the intial release of the 3, I think they now realize their new crop of Mazdas appeal to a much wider demographic. I've seen everyone from teenagers to grandparents driving 3's, 5's and CX-7's.
Each car really has something for everyone: performance, practicality, quality and zoom-zoom(first) .

MS3 is indeed King
So much so that I should receive mine mid-October. After hemming and hawing, good thing I procrastinated about buying the Mazda3! Just last week, I almost bought the GTI, but none of the dealers had the one I wanted and they didn't care to order me one. Glad I didn't push the issue... (first)
soon to pass on the VW Passat

For your info, and no I'm not mad, I am 20 years(!) past your demographic estimate.
I LOVE my 3 HB. I love driving her spiritedly too. And if I didn't have other responsibilities to consider, would be putting my money down on an MS3... in a heartbeat (of America. (rlaugh) )
Leaving enough to replace THOSE WHEELS!!!

No, neither was Mazdaspeed Protege, right?
no, msp wasnt. i thought the ms3 would be though. i hate that about my msp.
i think some of the red ones in the publicity photos (early ones anyway) had a sunroof but i guess its like the msp where the black test mule had one but they never offered it on the production car.

For kick i went by mazda corp yesterday, liek 2 minutes from work. Its also a locatiosn when defect warranty problems or soem other stuff happens car coem there and are stripped. there are toms of mx-5 ms6 peoples daily cars and what not. BUt there were 2 cars with dealer plates or they actually said DST. But there was a red ms3 and a grey ms3 i called my bro he said there are no grey form the website. But it did have a ms3 badge on it. I might go back with the camera and take pics. There is like hundres of cars there. I even found the mp3 prottype car there once also. BUt might cal a friend who works int he marketing and races rx8 for mazdaspeed and see what news.

I am so happy they did not make it as a three door nor offer a three door in the US market anymore. But then again I hate all three door hatchbacks, two door coupes & sedans without reservation. Actually, I hate four door sedans too.

I am a former hatchback guy myself, and I actually like the fact that the Mazdaspeed 3 is in the 5 door format. As a daily driver, I prefer hatchbacks (true sportscars- coupes and roadsters as fun weekend cars), but since the market has been producing fast 4 door sedans, I've been buying them as daily drivers (04 STI and now 06 MS6). This is definitely car I am gonna be looking into when my lease ends on the MS6. However, rumor has it that the STI is gonna be a hatchback/coupe, so if that holds true I'll be back to Subaru. Still though, the thought of a car with the power of my MS6, more of a fun factor, better handling, and faster with 400+ lbs less weight for that price may be too tempting.

I totally agree. A 5 door hatch is much more pleasing to the eye and just plain practical for everyday use and this one is gorgeous. I have my Speed3 reserved at the deal and it's slated for a production date of October 9th and be in my hands a couple weeks after. The price is more than fair and realisticly there is nothing else out there that offers more value for the dollar. Man I'm gonna loose some sleep waiting for this one.
