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.

engine burned oil then spun a bearing
DON'T BUY A MAZDA WITH A 2.3 LITRE ENGINE! Over the 5 years I had my Mazda3 it would burn oil worse and worse, until finally my husband was driving it, shifted down, and the engine spun a bearing. I don't really even want to talk about it. It makes me mad that my husband shifted down, and I'm mad at myself for not topping up the oil that day, DANG IT!
