Replying to: mdaffron (Aug 04, 2005 4:32 am) Interesting omission on Honda's part. Thanks Inspector Meade. You're one of the main reasons I visit this forum regularly.
#52 of 879 Uh oh by pmc255 Aug 21, 2005 (10:18 pm)
Oh boy, 2006 Mazda3 info is out. Should I wait? Or should I try to catch the deal on '05 clearances? For the packages/options I want, the '06 would actually be almost $2000 cheaper than the '05 I want. Plus, I doubt I will be able to find an '05 that matches exactly what I'm looking for...   Ah, what a dilemma!! Replies to this message: earlthom (Aug 24, 2005 5:18 am)

Where do you find the information on the 06 automatic hatchback mazda 3? Why is this car less $$ in 06 ; if I read correctly?? Does this include 05 rebates, incentives..... SS Seafolk Replies to this message: voidvoice (Aug 22, 2005 6:32 am)

#55 of 879 Making my decision! by frenchymelly Aug 22, 2005 (11:57 pm)
I've read over past posts and am in the process of deciding which car to buy. I ruled out the corolla early on because I really don't like the exterior look of it, so I'm choosing between the Mazda 3s and the Honda Civic. I definitely DON'T like the new '06 Civic that's coming out, it looks too much like the accord and is too big and futuristic for my taste. I've test driven the civic several times and was pretty decided until I found the Mazda 3, which I test drove today. I love the interior of the 3 but the Civic's reputation of reliability and mileage is hard to ignore, although my mom has a Mazda Tribute and has been completely satisfied by it. I'm just not sure how long a 3 will last when I've heard of civic's often going up to 200, 300, and even 400 thousand miles. We'll see! Replies to this message: mdaffron (Aug 23, 2005 4:40 am)

Replying to: frenchymelly (Aug 22, 2005 11:57 pm) Well, maybe this will help. Here's my experience with the Mazda3 and its predecessors to date (all were purchased new and traded at the stated mileage unless otherwise noted):   1992 Protege LX: 28,000 miles, totaled in hydroplaning accident 1992 Protege LX no. 2: 83,000 miles, zero problems 2000 Protege ES: 91,100 miles, front strut bushings replaced at 85,000 miles 2002 Protege5: 52,000 miles, wife's current car, zero problems 2005 Mazda3s hatch: 7,600 miles, my current car, zero problems   Granted, I haven't kept one of these cars past 100,000 miles, but my 2000 Protege really took a beating over the five years I owned it, and it never had one problem other than the bushings -- which I caused by my, um, "spirited" driving around 25-mph off-ramps at 50 mph, "slaloming" down our street to entertain our 4-year-old, etc. I also had the Protege up past 90 mph more times than I can count, and once to 105. (I guess I'll defend myself here by saying NO, I'm not a college-aged kid -- I'm 40! But Mazdas are just too damned fun.) I guess it pays to be related to two of the judges in my county; I got let off with a warning twice in the last four years -- the most recent time I was stopped for going 70 in a 35 -- and yep, he let me off with a warning!       Meade

Replying to: pmc255 (Aug 21, 2005 10:18 pm) IF you can find the '05 you want and IF the dealer is offering incentives - then I'd probably grab it. In my area (upper midwest) the inventory of 05's is pretty much gone and dealers are still almost at MSRP. I'm waiting for the '06.
#60 of 879 New Pics and Stats on Civic are out by earlthom Sep 01, 2005 (5:47 pm)
Honda has released some new pictures and stats on all models of the 06 Civic. Production looks of the sedan seem much less extreme the the pre-production pics of the Si. Features look good with ABS with EBD standard on the sedan and an available 5-speed automatic. No official word on the 1.8L 140HP sedan engine's mileage - but at $3/gallon it is going to be interesting to a lot of shoppers out there. I can't find info on prices yet, either. Still, Mazda and Toyota may need to up their game. Replies to this message: mdaffron (Sep 02, 2005 7:13 am)
