I have a Mazda 3, 2007 model and have owned it for 2 years now.  It's a great car for a short daily commute and I love it.  It's the perfect size for me, not too shabby on gas, and comes at a decent price.

However, my one major complaint about the car is the engine power.  This is a smaller car and if you are driving flat roads, you probably won't have any big complaints.  But I have taking my car on several trips where I encountered hilly highways.  This is where my little mazda disappointed me.  Approaching the hill, I would be driving 5-10 miles over the speed limit, only to immediately drop a good 20-25 miles as soon as I hit the upward climb.

But all in all, it's a great commuter car with a nice look and feel.
