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.

I have, had (2), two brand new set, of tires from Firestone put on this car. I was also told only those two sets can only be put on this Mazda 3. the car keep bucking on every street and every road. Every day and evening.
The back rear wheel wells collect so much dirt and salt it ends up rusting it out! there needs to be plastic cover for the wheel wells or better drain holes! I wash my car every week in the winter and it is still hard to prevent it! the rear strut mount takes a toll on the abuse from all the salt and dirt that collects near the top where it is screwed in! had my strut break twice in one month! there needs to be better drain holes for the doors too!
