Plan to purchase MAZDA 3 S. Any comments?, advice?. warnings?

First, is there a group for mazda cars in general?. or the mazda 3 for
that matter?

Planning on getting a mazda 3 s to replace my problem prone VW. Anyway,
to the point, I am looking for advice/warnings from owners or people
who work on these cars.

How's the reliablity of the cars? specially the newer mazda 3's? Anyone
around here has one with lots of miles on it and a recent model? Say a
Mazda 3 2004 with 40k+ miles or something like that?.. Any common/major
complains about the car? Are they manufactured in Japan or America?.

Anyway, looking for help and/or direction to find resources on mazda
3's.

thanks.
