Default Bought a new car, so... new pics!

No mods and not a Honda, but we all like pics right?

'06 Mazda 3, Copper Red Mica, 5spd, no options
Made the deal last Thursday, they had to get it from another dealer and I picked her up yesterday.

It rained most of the afternoon, but I managed to get these shots.







This'll primarily be my wife's car, but damn sure I'll drive it every chance I get.
Hopefully I can get a Mazdaspeed 3 in a year or so for myself.

Love this car!, I wanted to get this car as well until I saw this years crash test reports. This car was one of the worst out.

Just remember that mazda will not warranty your motor mount breaking and destroying your transmition then trashing your wire harnes. Happened to a friends mx5, so just be cautious.

Clean car.

yeah, it's really put together well.

Don't really plan on modding or being to rough this one,
so hopefully nothing like that will come up.

looking good. I'd love to get some 18" Gramlights, and drop it an inch, but my wife's having none of it.

What Jay said, a/c is standard; and an absolute must in FL; of course, you know all about that living in the dirty yourself.
I'd love to have all the options, but we bought this car to save money over getting a Rav4 or CR-V; saved $5k over the cheapest ones we could find.

Diesel? hmm, cool.

Rides nice, a lot more sporty the the Escort I've been driving and a heap side better than the '95 Explorer we traded.
