New Yay! I really liked your last Mazda!
Imric's Tips for Living
  • Paranoia Is a Survival Trait
  • Pessimists are never disappointed - but sometimes, if they are very lucky, they can be pleasantly surprised...
  • Even though everyone is out to get you, it doesn't matter unless you let them win.


Nothing is as simple as it seems in the beginning,
As hopeless as it seems in the middle,
Or as finished as it seems in the end.

New The similar model now sports 274 hp
and a 7 speed gearbox (6 go, one back). [link|http://www.autobytel.com/content/shared/articles/templates/index.cfm/article_id_int/422|(Mazda6Speed)] I was forced to stare at it (hood open on the 2.3l turbo) while closing on the 3. It was torture to see a car you REALLY would like when buying a car you like and afford. Though the fact that it doesn't come in a 2 door coupe model is a drawback.

Getting used to the lack of electrics...no power anything. The lack of power locks will probably be the most annoying...since I've had that in every car I've ever owned until now.

Really liking the mp3 capability on the sound system. Have 3 disks made that offer pretty good variety and capacity for 3 more...may not bother wiring an input for the ipod.
