Mazda 3 2006 FAQs

Mazda 3 2006: Cam belt or chain?

It has a chain, so there’s no regular maintenance required. The only reason you might replace the chain is if it were to wear.

Mazda 3 2006: Sunroof

I don’t believe it did.

What's a safe first car for $10,000?

The Impreza is a good choice with all-wheel drive safety and a raft of airbags, so too is the Corolla, but you could also consider the Mazda3. It's best to stick with the recognized Japanese brands, European brands can be appealing, but they tend to be more troublesome and more expensive to service.
