Well, some of you may remember my little accident over a month ago.
http://www.gaownersclub.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=38447

Anyway, I finally picked up my new car. 2005 Mazda 3. So far, I am very happy with it. Great little car that is really fun to drive. The 2.3l 4 cyl has some really good low end power and with the VVT, getting past 4500rpms is a blast. You can certainly feel it.
Already put 300 miles on her just today. Gotta be careful of the break-in mileage, have to do it right.

I created a Cardomain for a few pictures taken when I picked it up.

I'll probably stick around since this has always been an interesting and popular place to hang out. Unless I'm not wanted because of my foreign car. :D

Anyway, enjoy and let me know what you think, positive or negative.

i love the way those and their big sister's the 6 look. i heard the 3 didn't fare that well in crash testing. at any rate, i love the appearance of that car..

On the contrary they did do very well, in both the NHTSA and IIHS test. Plus, I got the side airbags as well. So it is really safe.

And yes, they are good looking cars.

Yes yes, I know. I am too sexy. :D

And no, you cannot get my headlights. I like them too much to let them go.

Nice choice in car! I personally love them, I test drove one when I was looking for a new car, REALLY liked it. I also love the 6 too. A friend of mine has the 3 and after riding in it as much as I did, I fell in love, but would end up being too small, I'd love a 6!

The 6 is a really nice car. Wish I had the money for one.

Blake, I got the car with a 5 speed manual. I've been wanting a car with a stick for a while and I couldn't pass up the chance.
