bought her a new Go-Kart
so we are giving our 2003 Protege 5 to her 15y.o. son who lives in Kansas, so we needed a new car
the lil pro5 has been to the shop 1x in 108,000 to get a new timing belt, last month, so to say the least we are very happy w/ mazda products, this is my 4th mazda product. we were going to buy a NICE car, since i was promised a $1 raise above min. wage!!!! but she drives kinda in the hood and works at a hoodish hosp. so we decided to buy a reasonable car again. pay it off quick, then buy a nice "sunday" car. 2012 Mazdaspeed3 263 hp 280 ft/lbs 3200 lbs    5700mi and not even 4 mos old HIDs Nav (her SIII has a bigger screen, lol) Bose Sirius (4 mos free trial hadn't even been activated yet) ABS and other elec. stuff blind-spot detection all for a little over $20k (a VERY good deal) has some tq steer, but nothing crazy, broke the tires loose in 1st and 2nd pretty easily. ride is taut but we like it like that! lol only real downside is mediocre gas mileage on premium gas, we expect mid 20's hopefully will be a good little car like all our previos mazdas

 I got the 2011 mazda3 sedan a couple weeks back and it's treating me well so far. It's got great handling, good mpg and is fun to drive. The speed 3 seems to lose some mpg, but still can't go wrong! It looks like it comes with a good bit of extras as well.

yeah the mpg is kinda weak for such a small car, and its premium too.
we were looking at a 3 grand touring but the price and miles on this one were to much to pass up right at $20k and 5700mi sold in 8/28/12 traded in 12/1/12, lol
