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.

Had a rim on a Mazda 3 come apart after hitting a small pothole on the interstate which the rim clearly has to be defective to cause this much damage for such minimal impact. Took to dealer for remedy. Service manager says this happens quite often. Nothing was done to correct failure except buy a new defective rim to replace the old defective rim.
