So, uhh, I bought a car today.

Mazda3 s Grand Touring with damn near all the options. Autotragic (with paddles), hatchback, shiny blue outside, almond perforated leather inside, adaptive bi-xenons, HUD, push-button start, sunroof, nav, back-up camera, blind-spot detection, dual-zone climate control, heated seats, and probably a number of other things I'm forgetting at the moment.Totes sweet, yo.

Very nice! Close to the model I'd consider. I've gotta get your thought on the HUD, though. :)
 
Looks great!

It's no Miata, though. :p :lol:
 
Damn, that's nearly the car I configured back in May when I was deciding between buying new or used. Near-top spec, same color, wheels, bi-xenons, just no leather and manual transmission. Chose the 2-liter 165 hp petrol engine. In the end I bought something used, though.

Congrats and enjoy her! BTW, which engine did you choose?

Edit: Didn't notice your car list, I see it's a 3.0

Nice one, Mazda has made a really beautiful compact car with this one. Any more pictures, especially of the interior?

i like it so far. Shows the speed and directions, and it's definitely nice to have those two so close for quick reference while navigating relatively unfamiliar city streets, as I did last night.

That's kinda' the point! :D

Mine is an "s", so the 2.5. Very nice engine, plenty of punch for what I want, and smooth as silk with the automatic transmission.

I was wiped last night, and just wanted to start the thread. I'll shoot some more photos today/soon.

Nice choice. Best looking car in its class imho.

Ahh, for some weird reason I have associated the 3.0 thing in your car info with the Mazda. I guess there is no 3-liter 3 anyway in the US (or anywhere else) with the 2.5 being the top offer, am I right? They only offer the 1.5, 2.0 petrol and the 2.2 diesel in here.
 
I really like what Mazda is doing with the 3 and 6. Good choice, I guess :)
 
Great colour for the car! I'd like to see some inside shots too :)

Possibly Thursday morning? It's 4:15pm and the sun is setting, and tomorrow morning I'll be at the gym.

Possibly also engine bay shots (not that they're impressive often on today's cars).


W00t - congrats! :)

Thanks!


If I'm not mistaken, is this the first 3rd-gen 3 on FG? Seems like the first and possibly second generations are covered, but I can't find another PYC thread about this little beauty.
 
Jeez, you've gone all practical and shit? What next? Getting a 9-5 job in a cubicle? :p

Looks purdy, tho.
 
Why would he buy a Saab in a cubicle?
 
The new mazda 3 really looks very nice. Though, if you bought it new, why not a more lively color?

I already have a 10?7 in what is more/less a cubicle. ;)

Saabs are (sometimes kinda') cool. Wait, what?

What more lively color? The ultra-red red? Or the somewhat-washed-out blue? I'd love to have the choice of orange, yellow, green, violet, burgundy, maroon, etc.
