CarComplaints.com Notes: Except for a minor issue with cracked motor mounts, the 2008 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.

lock on driver side wouldn't open or lock
Lock on Driver door would not work, had to open door from passenger side or keep unlocked. Unsafe!
The car alarm would go off if I locked it manually, I would forget that the lock would never open and didn't work! opps I have kids.
