Default Anyone ever own a Mazda?

I know this is an F-body forum, but I was wanting some feedback...

I'm probably getting a job in the Galleria area at the end of the month, and living in League City, that's a long drive. There' NO way I'm driving my WS6 every day like that. The cost of gas alone would drive me to the poor house, not to mention the amount of miles I'd put on it.

I was looking at an '07 Mazda3 as a dd and was wondering if anyone here has owned/currently owns a Mazda. Are they reliable, good gas mileage, ect? For the price, this seems to be about the best I can get considering it has 40k miles and looks pretty decent. I've never driven one, so I don't know how nice they drive, but hell... Anything drives smoother than my cammed TA, lol.

Galleria from League City is not the far. I drive from Katy to NASA everyday. But the west loop sucks.

I had a 83 GLC back in the early 90's. Rust bucket from hell. Got 38 wide open, haha. People I sold it to made it to Virginia on less than 4 tanks, at least that's what they told me.

I would like to get a new KIA thou. Cheap and good warranty.

My girl has a 07 mazda 3. She hasn't had any problems with it. It gets 30ish mpg, but the A/C sucks on 100 degree days.

I have an 08 3 and its been a great car. Nice interior and fun to drive too. I will agree with the above statement that the AC is sub par on those really hot days.
