New to Mazda and This Site

Hi Everyone,

I just read through some of the threads and I wanted to post. I just bought a brand new fully loaded Mazda 3 Sport, Titanium Grey with leather seats. I pick it up from the dealer tomorrow afternoon and am very excited (I'll put pics up once I get a chance to take some). I test drove quite a few cars and I must say the power, handling and overall feel of the M3 Hatch was amazing so I am hoping to have a good experince with this car.
I was looking for something that would fit me (6'5") and be good on gas as I will be driving it alot for work and didn't really want to be driving the family mini-van around. The style, size and price were the key sellign points (it was also nice to buy at the end of the month so they were willing to deal).

I would love to hear people's comments on what they think of the 06 Mazda 3's and any issues they have run into so I know what to watch out for.

Thanks

welcome to the forums... good choice with the hatch.

there haven't been any wide spread issues with the 06 that i have heard about, one guy had some issues with his automatic wipers and i think that was it... they did a good job nailing stuff down from the first model year, 04
