Hello,
I am in the market for a mazda3 hatchback standard, and after looking for weeks, I am wondering if there are any major changes between the first 2004 model and the following two model years (2005-06).
Being that there is a price jump between model years, I don't want to spend unnecessary money. I test drove a 2005 hatchback mazda3 and loved it, I am sure that the mazda3 is the car I want, but what year would y'all recommend?

Thank you!
