CarComplaints.com Notes: Except for a minor issue with cracked motor mounts, the 2006 MAZDA3 is a fantastic vehicle with a great reputation.
If you need to replace the motor mounts, first ask your dealer if they'll cover it -- the motor mounts were dealt with in a TSB & were recalled for some model years. Otherwise buy aftermarket motor mounts -- owners report this solves the problem. If you use the same OEM parts, they may just crack again.

My 2006 Mazda 3 is experiencing greatly accelerated rear brake pad and rotor wear, both requiring replacement by 38K miles. This is at least 3X faster wear than normal. Front brakes show little wear and look to last up to 100K miles. Could this problem be the result of improper front/rear brake bias or defective parts/materials" could this situation lead to improper/unsafe braking performance under certain conditions"
