JD Powers and others aside, I'll say this.
 
My current car is a 2005 Mazda3 hatchback ... er, wagon ... er, hatchgon? Wagback? I purchased it April 7, 2005. It's now 15 months old and has 24,100 miles on it.
 
Problems? Zero.
Gas mileage? 27 city commuting, 32-35 highway. (5-speed)
Fun-to-drive factor? Grinning, ear to ear!

Let's continue the conversation about the ship in trouble in the Mazda3 discussion. We'll let this discussion stay focused on comparing the 3 to the Rabbit. If there are any dry ones left to compare, that is.

I'm just glad that non of those Mazda3's or CX-7's are mine. I see that they are mostly allocated for the west coast or Vancouver, Canada.
 
I just hope they do not take from my allocation to help them! I can't get enough as it is!

US manufacturers' recalls seem to be more for things like cars catching on fire or gas tanks exploding while Japanese recalls tend to be minor problems.

However, Toyota's latest recall is not so minor. It is for a "faulty engine part" that causes an oil leak...

Back to the topic at hand, I drove a 2007 Rabbit 2.5 and an 06 3s 5-door, both auto, back to back recently. The interior build quality on the Rabbit was excellent, with a very similar layout to the Audi A4, but the seats and trim were a disgusting shade of beige. I did think the black or gray interiors work better on the Rabbit. I drove the Rabbit first, and at first I liked it, but once I drove the 3, the deal was done. The 3 was so much more responsive, fun to drive, and just overall more refined. I love the interior especially, it just feels much more comfortable and inviting and sporty than the Rabbit's. Nothing against the Rabbit, it's also a great car, but the 3 wins in my book. I drove out the door that day with an s model hatch in silver. Excellent value. So far I'm sure I've made the right choice after my first few weeks having the car
