2006 Mazda 3s Touring 2.3l on 2040-cars

Year:2006 Mileage:101000
Location:

Saint Paul, Minnesota, United States

Saint Paul, Minnesota, United States

I acquired this 2006 Mazda 3 S Touring 4-door sedan virtually brand new with only 1000 miles on it. It has been driven all its life by a careful and cautious driver. I would say that 80% of the miles on the car are highway miles due to having to work out of town over the last couple of years. 

It is the S Touring Model, which is one of the most premium of the trim levels. It also has virtually every option available that year, including; factory spoiler, factory side skirts, (that combination is very rare and I have not seen many of them); moonroof, and in-dash 6-CD changer.

It’s a 5-speed manual, which is rare for the S Grand Touring model, and the reason I was attracted to it.

The interior is Black/Red mica and has lots of bells & whistles including a 60/40 fold down rear seat, steering-wheel audio controls, and front and side airbags.

Cosmetically this car is superb with virtually not a scratch on it.  It does have some minor surface scratches on the doors since it is a car from 2006. There is a deeper scuff mark on the bumper that I will make sure to take a picture of.

Also, the windshield did recently take a rock and has cracked. I am willing to fix this through my insurance or I can deduct the cost of repair from the price, which I have researched to be around $210-250 to get it replaced.

Routine maintenance and oil-change were conducted always on time with synthetic motor oil. Tires are brand new Bridgestone Ecopia tires warranteed for 65,000 miles at a cost of $670!

This car runs and drives great and I have never had any mechanical problems with the car.

In sum, if you’re in the market for a small sporty sedan that’s in great condition, with a 5-speed manual, then you’re not going to find one nicer than this.

Tow truck driver hilariously bad at righting a flipped Mazda

Wed, 30 Oct 2013

Can rolling your car get any worse? The correct answer is yes, as this poor soul found out when he rolled his Mazda3 onto its side. Calling a tow truck might be a logical, post-rollover move, but in this case, it kind of made the situation worse.
We don't want to give away just what happened, so you'll need to scroll down and watch the video. A fair warning, though, it does contain a moment of colorful language towards the end, so watching it at work, with the volume up, might not be wise. Have a look below for the full video.

Mazda MX-5 Miata to spawn coupe, Mazda6 to get quick successive updates

Thu, 28 Aug 2014



Despite the PRHT's availability, some are still yearning for a proper fixed-head coupe.
We are just days away from the official unveiling of the next-generation 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata on September 3, and it's fair to say that the mouths of enthusiasts are watering in anticipation for the latest version of this iconic roadster. Hard facts about the new droptop aren't easy to find, and in the absence of further disclosure from Mazda officials, the rumormill is in full swing, including word that a long-awaited hardtop coupe model will figure into the new generation's plans.

Mazda engineers urging execs for more RWD models

Wed, 02 Oct 2013

According to Edmunds, Mazda engineers are pressuring the company to create more rear-wheel-drive models, in an effort to better differentiate itself from its rivals. This push is reportedly coming from middle and senior engineers within the company, and these folks at Mazda believe this rear-drive strategy would allow the automaker to produce more distinctive, fun to drive cars. Mazda discontinued the rear-drive (and rotary-engined) RX-8 a few years ago, leaving the MX-5 Miata as the company's only RWD offering.
As enthusiasts, we're fully on board with Mazda offering more rear-drive cars, but unsurprisingly, the company's top management isn't exactly keen on the idea - and with good reason. First and foremost, the cost associated with redesigning fresh architecture for new models would be very high, and considering the fact that Mazda hasn't exactly been raking in the dough lately, an expensive new venture like this doesn't make a whole lot of sense. What's more, Mazda's latest front-drive models - the Mazda3, Mazda6 and CX-5 - have been very well-received, and are helping the company gain sales momentum.
But that doesn't mean there aren't other options. Edmunds reminds us that Mazda is already partnering with Alfa Romeo on the next-generation Miata, and if this collaboration is successful, perhaps the relationship could bear additional fruit. After all, Alfa Romeo is said to be working on returning to its rear-wheel-drive roots, so Mazda's engineers might be able to make a case for more RWD goodness after all.
