My new 11' Mazda 3 hatch

[1992sc50]

Just thought I'd share a few crappy cell pics of the my new 11 Mazda 3 hatch sport that I picked up today. Color is liquid silver with black cloth interior. Since this is my daily and I wanted a relatively small payment I chose not to go with the mazdaspeed version. Very nice ride. Great road feel and is quite nimble. Its got the 2.5 I4 backed by a 5-sp auto. Its bluetooth enabled (very cool i might add) and has most of the power options as well (non powered seats).

I dig it! those are neat cars. reminds me of my 04 svt focus with more aggresive styling.

I like it. Congrats. My brother-in-law picked one of those up a while back. I took it for a spin and checked it out and I approve.

Nice daily driver. My wife loves Mazdas. IMO they have some nice cars in their line-up. Pricing is pretty attractive, too. Enjoy yours. I love love the exterior color.

Very nice ride. We passed a deep purple one coming back from a trip and it really looked good. Congrats.

Nice car. I just helped my little sis get the exact same car! We got it last weekend.

yeah your payments will be pretty low for that amount. new car you can get a 7yr term with lower interest rates on newer cars vs used. Id imagine if he only put a few grand down his payments are mid-high 300's.

Nice car. I picked up a Mazdaspeed3 last week.

I guess it depends on what you consider a low payment. Not sure on the price of the new speed3, but the grand touring Mazda 3 (n/a I4) that I looked at was 27k. I figured the speed version was the same if not a little more. And with my trade in (paid for 150K mile 03 maxima) I wasnt able to get that much but still got a nice car for the payment that I wanted at a descent % rate. I dont see the point in living outside of your means if you dont have to, so I chose to keep within my budget and it feels good.
