Congrats! The Mazda 3 is a great car, I test drove a couple and was seriously considering one a while back. Fun to drive, practical, affordable, and you can actually find them with a standard transmission.

Enjoy the car!

Hey welcome to the site!

Nice pick with the Mazda, they seem to be pretty good cars.

Nice choice. Pics when you get the chance plz.

Yup... Talk to John and you can probably get some nice mileage out of that car.

Lol - your tC has more weight too. You might have me (just barely) in a straight drag race, but I'll get you in the corners.

tC = 18.1lbs/HP
Mz3i = 18.8lbs/HP

And with that wonderful glass roof, those corners are gonna make you roll!
