I am a big fan of Mazda too! I have a 2008 Mazda3 with 190k on it. It's slowly falling apart, but hey it lasted a really long time in my opinion. I didn't expect a Mazda built primarily out of Ford parts to last this long. The newer Mazdas are getting better and starting to compete with big luxury cars.

Also a fan of the newer Mazda 3 especially the hatchback versions. They are increasing their quality and their cars are pretty nice and inexpensive.

Do you mean a fan for the 3 or fans of the 3? I have mine and I absolutely love it. It's carried me through 2 kids, 2 wrecks, 13 jobs, and 167k miles of fun driving. On paper, the car's probably not worth much but I'll drive that car until the wheels fall off just because I love it so much.
