Been thinking about a new car for a while. Went out to drive a couple possibles. Ended up bringing one of them home.

Auto. I know. I know. I walked on the lot wanting a manual, but after driving it and thinking about it, the auto just made more sense.

By the way, I would have driven home with the ‘17 Miata Grand Touring they had if it had been a manual.

I’ve test driven a few and Mazda’s auto is really great. Congrats on the new car.

Nope. Fell in love with the current generation sedan the first time I saw one.

Congrats! It’s a great car!

My best friend bought one a year or two ago. He never really enjoyed driving, and always saw cars as an appliance, but during the test drive with the 3 he actually started going faster through some of the curves and really had fun!

Congradulations! I’m a big fan of the 3. I agree with your comment on the sedan vs hatch. I’m still not sold on the hatch looks.

Congrats! Looks very good in white. 2.0 or 2.5?

Thanks! 2.5. We’d always liked the Soul Red. Soon as we saw this pearlescent white we were sold.
