New to Mazda 3: Need help

[going2bmazda]

Hey everyone. I used to own an Audi a4 and yes I said Audi. Iam only 17(not spoiled) just works hard with some benifits. Well anyways my audi basically died(to me). The engine light was on so I took it in and the totally bill to fix everything is over 3 grand so Iam tired of paying a million dollars to fix the car. Iam also tired of guys my age yelling at me and giving me dirty looks for having an Audi(they think Iam spoiled). So Then I saw the Mazda 3 4dr and man does it look good, so does the price. I had a few ?

1. Is it expensive to fix (overall parts)?
2. Is it reliable ?
3. Good car?

more ? to come. thanks

this isnt coming from experiance, but I was told this car should last 15years+

Oil changes every 8000K, everything else is low maintenance.

Economical, especially with high gas prices.

Dont relaly know much else since I havent gotten mine yet........

They're amazing cars tho and are an incredible ride.

1. No more than any other Japanese car. More than an American car, less than a European.
2. Yes.
3. Yes. Wholeheartedly yes.

I would say at a Mazda dealer. (scratch)

You'll never get any agreement on color from this group (and you shouldn't even ask). Color is a very personal thing. Look at them all and pick the one you like.
