Mazda 3 Getting Trendy?

[MidnightSpeeder]

I know of 4 running around Ottawa...Orange sedans.. and that's gonna stay that way, which is quite cool. Thanks Mazda!

Well, I have to say, the 3 must not be getting too trendy, after all.

On my way to work this morning, I was stopped at a red light and I hear somebody honking. I look over and dude next to me in a minivan was motioning for me to roll down my window.
I opened up and he says, "What kind of car is that?!"
I told him, he said he liked it and then he asked what kind of gas mileage it got.
I told him that and then as the light turned green and I was rolling away, he says, "I like that gas cap!"

Silly mortals. (alright)

That man must have spent the last two years in a coma.....you probably caught him on his drive home from the hospital. Coma or jail....but jail and minivan is just weird, so I am sticking with coma

probably once a month some one asks me what kind of car it is... mainly mistaken for a VW.... wtf is with that???... anyways i get a lot of comments that they really like it, what kind of mpg and so on... mostly from older (35-50) men....my roomate and most of her friends love my car... (more so then her brothers 5 door 6i (hah)).... i am deffinatly not one of a few 3s up here, lots of sedans... and i am seeing more and more 5 doors... gotta love mazda for makin a nice sexy car!!!!!

I see lots of 6's around here, and a few older Protege5's. I have one of a very few 3's, especially in a 5 door in my area. I still don't think I have seen one in the area in the strato blue mica color of mine and hopefully it stays that way! I do get people of all types occassionally asking me what kind of car it is and commenting on how much they like it. I went to the store the other day and some kid commented to his dad about how my car kind of looked like their civic and I grunted in disgust, but my 5 year old had my back and said but my mom's car is way cooler, really, really loud!! GOD! I love that kid! (cryhard)

The 3 is definetly a popular car. Of 142 cars delivered at my job, 70 were 3s. Of the 19 I sold, 12 were 3s. It's not just based on a trend though. They're safe, handle very well and the base engine still has more hp than some competitor's top of the line (save for the factory "tuners").

Besides... the more popular it is, the easier I'll be able to sell mine when the Speed comes out. (2thumbs)

I agree, easier to sell mine as well for the speed. I just hope the speed 3 has awd as well and drives remarkedly well.

i notice these cars more and more as the months go by. I know when i first got mine, i was literally the first person in my area to own one, if not fully loaded.

i had a lot of ppl come up to me and say how much the car looked hot and asked all sorts of questions.

well... im happy to have my m3! until mazdaspeed3 comes out around 2006/07.
