i would have to agree with most of you .hondas products spank mazdas hands down , and this is coming from someone that isnt a real big honda fan .they are great cars just see to many of them .if middlemiss got a mazda he would kill it before he left the lot, if not shortly after .

I just drove Mazda 3 Sport GT, I thought they were pretty nice.

Hopefully they corrected the problems for the 05 models.

Rule of thumb, never buy a car in its initial production year

Sometimes they change many things and they fine tune things.

But nothing enough that they can mention it in their advertising, like: "We fixed the busted #3 cylinder problem in the '04 model"

Hey Mike, did you contact Mazda head office yet? What did they say?

Maybe they'll buy your car back? It happened to one of my buddies too. He was a pain in their *** for months and they finally decided to buy his car back from him.
