I know its not a honda, but I've been part of this forum for a bit so I thought I'd share anyways. I had to buy new and I loved this caras soon as I got in it and the deal I got was unbelievable so I went with it. Here are some quick pics, they're not the best, and she's a little dusty.

Thanks for viewing

 

now hammer it and put some volks or something on it

 

I like the Mazda3's a lot - everyone gets them in that color (same color as my Mazdaspeed Protege)...have fun with it! Plans?

 

don't like it.

 

kinda girlie...

But practical. What's your plans?

 

i think the new mazdas look decent enough
get some dark-ish gram lights

I saw these on a dark blue 6 and they looked perfect, i bet you'd have similar luck

thanks. practicality was #1 reason for me getting this car. like I said it wasn't my first choice in color, the winning blue was, but now that I have it, I love it. The interior is amazing and the there's no lack of power, especially on the hills (lots of them where i'm from).

As for Plans. I'd like to get a cold air intake for it for now, and wait until I finish my schooling next summer and see what happens. Mazda is making a turbo for it that won't void my warranty, but I'm still searching for goodies for it. Have only had the car 2 weeks.

As for rims... I'm think thinking something like above or darker with a polished lip.

 

Nice! Before I got my civic, I was close to getting a Protoge that looked similar (was also close to getting an accord, 2.5rs, scion xa... hehe) . I like it!

 

not a fan of the 3's

neither was I the first day they came in last year. I went up and looked at them and swore that i'd never get a 3. Then they brought in the 3 sport GT and I got to sit in it and drive it. the seats are so comfortable and it has every possible little option that makes driving it so much nicer, and i've been really impressed with the power in the new 2.3L motor. Also found out the other day that the chassis is from a Volvo... another bonus

 

Cool,
my mom got one of those, a sedan in red.

they are really nice!
I like the steering, it's really like... "sharp"

 

dont really care for the 5 door verson

It never really mattered to me... 4 or 5 door, I would of taken either as long as it was a 5speed GT version, but I had a real hard time even getting what I got. supposidly one of the MAzda plants in Canada had a fire and 3s are super hard to get this summer.

The car handles amazing... I can't get over it. I assumed it would though, cause the Protege 5 handled nice too.
