I just purchased my first Mazda. I got the Mazda 3 (2010) in Graphite Mica with the Moonroof/Bose/6CD changer package. I am extremely excited to pick it up Monday morning.

I wrestled between a lot of cars before picking this one. I hope it provides a good five to 7 years of fun!

 

Congrats on your purchase! And welcome to the Mazda Forum!

 

I knew I loved the car the moment I test drove it, but bringing it home today was great. The car fun to drive and let me tell you, it has me saying Zoom Zoom already.

Things I noticed...it is very easy to go fast, it is sleek looking and the front smiley face grill actually makes me smile.

Thanks!

I just got the 2010 Mazda 3 sedan in graphite about two weeks ago. Traded in my 2001 Passat and am really loving the new Mazda. This is the SPORT package with Sunroof/Bose CD system. I had to go with an automatic which my wife is NOT happy about but I really didn't have too much of a choice as I suffered some nerve damage several years ago and don't have much feeling in my feet anymore. I know there's a lot of grumbling about the front grill (I like it) and the rear lights (don't care for them). I'm hoping I made the right choice because there was a GORGEOUS 2009 model on the lot I could have saved $3K but it had 4500 miles on it and the dealer was still treating it as if it was a new car. This is our second Mazda as my wife has a 1999 Miata that has been trouble free since we got it in 2001.
