Future Mazda 3 purchase... good?

[Satanbbad]

I'm looking to get a used but good condition Mazda 3 and want to know a good mileage lifespan. So far many have 35-70k miles and seems avg at about 50k. (dunno) How far has your Mazda 3 gone? My current Camry is at an astounding 225k and still puffing along but not much longer. Need help!

Thanks

There are several Mazda3 owners that are over 100k. There are a couple with more miles than your Camry. As long as you find one in good shape and keep up on the maintenance, you will be fine.

I will second the. My 2006 3 has 115k and is running strong.

46k here. Running pretty well... Although that's not saying much. Lol
But it DID take the multiple trips to and from Chattanooga and Atlanta like a CHAMP!

I wish I could keep my cars long enough to tell you, but Ive put 197k miles on the 2.3 mazda motor with no relevant issues (spanned out over 3 mazda 3s and 3 mazda 5s.
