I am in need of a "new" (to me car) and have been seriously considering a MazdaA3 (not really worried about the model).
My #1 concern is fuel efficiency and reliability, and as I don't have much confidence in American made vehicles (and because of second hand experience) I am steering clear of Cobalt's and Focus's. I have only heard good thing about Mazda's, and I would consider a Toyota but they seem to be overpriced (on the used market especially) probably because of how good they are and I can get a Mazda with lower mileage and more features for less money. I am looking at one in Columbus with 42,000 miles on it and they are asking roughly $9,000, and that is about as much as I want to pay for the vehicle. So if anyone has concerns or input, please, let me hear your experiences and opinions so that I can make a good decision. |

Quoted:
Good vehicle but couldn't you find something with lower mileage? At least still under warranty just in case.  I could, but not in my price range. I would consider a ford, I just think they seem incredibly cheap inside, and the Mazda I drove was quite nice compared to the Ford. My friends drive a Fusion and it is crap. The engine shakes (probably mounted improperly) and the interior is very cheap. |
