Very nice. I keep looking at picking up a car, but I can't make up my mind.

I was wanting something a little better than the Explorer on gas, and I still have the F150 if I need to haul something so I got the Mazda. For the price (S plan) I couldn't beat it.

I like those little Mazdas. The Mazdaspeed version is supposed to beat the crap out of the WRX and GTI, if you can handle the torque steer.

Sweet car Ken! Those always did catch my eye.

Welcome to the world of driving past the gas pumps!

I am already liking the MPG, and the driving past the pump is going to be so nice

I drove the Mazda6 and really liked it, but I needed the hatch back for ease of moving stuff in and out, and the 3 looks better to me so I got it, I picked the car the wife picked the color.
It really is growing on me

What's the range on it? A lot of those cars I've looked at have small tanks, so you're getting less than 300miles to a fill up.

I'm not as concerned with MPG, I just don't like stopping to fill up. 45MPG, but a 250 mile range doesn't do much for me.

They are freaking awesome cars. My brother has the 06 Mazda 3 2.0 and my Dad has the 07 Mazda 6 with the 2.3 My brother has put on 30k in almost 2 years and my dad has put on 25k in less than a year. Both cars have had no problems and the engines are very peppy. They really know how to put out a good reliable car. My brothers protege lasted 177k and it was still running awesome when we traded it in.

20% tint all around and so far it looks like maybe a 1 to 1.5 lowering job
