I was looking for a daily driver that isn't too boring to drive, I know there is Honda and toyota, but what about the mazda 3? I am looking to buy this as a used car with manual transmission, I want to ask whoever has owned this car for a while and put about 200,000 miles on it a few questions. How is the maintenance, does it cost much to maintain, are spare parts expensive, how is the ride, and all together reliability? Please be as thorough as you can on your points of view on this car, and add any other comments if you have any. I wanna try to compare it with a honda civic or a toyota corolla or Camry. I prefer answers from drivers who have driven the year and make of this car for a couple hundred thousand miles or have lots of experience with it.
