Condition: UsedA vehicle is considered used if it has been registered and issued a title. Used vehicles have had at least one previous owner. The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"Car is in good condition mechanically; there is rust at the rear wheel wells, at the front jack points, and on the lower edges of the doors, there is also a crack in the front bumper and a few minor dings."

For sale: a 2004 Mazda 3 s 5-door hatchback, orange, with black leather interior. It is an immensely fun car to drive, the handling is the best you can get at its price point. The 3 has been called a BMW 3 Series alternative for budget buyers for its responsiveness and connection to the driver.

I have a ten-month-old daughter and am planning on having another kid in about another year. As utilitarian as a hatchback can be, the 3 is a bit small for the cargo I carry, so I drive a 2006 Subaru Forester now.

This would make a fantastic car for a new driver, as it is a rewarding drive if you know how to drive with a manual transmission and might turn more young drivers on to manuals. It was my daily driver for nearly four years, and not a day went by that I was bored with it. This is after having driven a 1999 Honda Civic Si for three years (stolen from me). The 3 was just as fun, and was, in my opinion, more refined and "grown-up".

There are a couple of things about which I should be up front: there is rust. As seems to be common on 3s of that vintage, there is some rust bubbling up underneath the paint at the rear wheel wells, and there seems to be some at the bottom of the doors and at the jacking points under the car. There are some dings in various places, but those could probably be popped back out and show no further damage. Finally, there is a crack on the front bumper. All of these things, save for the dings and the rust under the car, are pictured in this listing.

Again, this 2004 Mazda 3 hatchback would be a fine first car, especially in an area where salted roads won't be an issue. I have had no reliability issues with it, and I am sad to part with it. Buy it and have a good time.

Mazda: Penn & Teller

Mon, Feb 2 2015

Mazda turned to magic to highlight its refreshed CX-5, bringing in Las Vegas staples Penn and Teller to saw the CUV in half. The glitzy spot has a very Sin City feel to it, although considering some of the ads we've seen tonight, it's short on shock value, humor and heart-tugging imagery. Have a look, though, and let us know what you think.

2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata configurator fulfills your droptop dreams

Fri, Aug 14 2015

The first batch of 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miatas are already at dealers, but Mazda is finally launching a configurator for its completely revised sports car. Even if pricing doesn't come as a surprise, you can still have some fun creating one to your own specific tastes. The major equipment changes on the Miata happen between the Sport, Club, and Grand Touring trims, and options are generally kept light. The real standout is the Brembo/BBS package for $3,400 that's exclusive to the Club version. It adds Gunmetal 17-inch BBS wheels, Brembo front brakes with red calipers, side sill extensions, a rear bumper skirt, and keyless entry. On the Sport and Grand Touring, $1,200 buys the Appearance Package with a front air dam, side sill extensions and rear bumper skirt. There's also keyless tech for $130 on them. Mazda also offers a few items to dress up the convertible's looks. There's a choice of a black or body color rear lip spoiler for $350, and Soul Red Metallic paint adds $300. For protection, clear film for the front and rear paint is $125, all-weather floor mats go for $90, and wheel locks cost $55. Finally, a cargo net is $50. We ticked every applicable box on the Club trim above to make its $28,600 base price leap to $33,790, after the $820 destination charge on all models. Happy building. Related Video:
