Well, I have to say that I have always loved the look of the 3 but was a die hard Honda driver. After driving my civic for years with insane reliability and reasonable service, my little guy was born and the Civic just wasn't cutting it. We upgraded to a CRV. That was when gas was under $1 lol. Anyway we got a little tired of the SUV sitting in the parking lot cuz it was too expensive to take anywhere and decided that we wanted a car again as don't need all of the room anymore. We had a horrible time getting into another Civic due to the resale on the CRV not being what it should be due to gas and Kms that we put on it. We had one set up but the deal fell through (not us or the dealer's fault) so our dealer said to drive this 2006 Mazda 3 GT sedan that they had with only 30 000 kms on it. At first we rejected that offer but the more we looked at it the more my wife said she wanted to drive a 5 speed. Needless to say we took it out and fell in love and after a 3 hr test drive we came back and they sadly had the papers ready saying that they knew what we would be thinking once we took it out. What a car. Lets hope it takes care of us like we will it.
Hope to see some of you around town or on one of the many trips that we can now take again now that we are getting more than 350 km to a tank. Watch for the loud red headed toddler lol
