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.

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!
