Oldest sons turn. After months of wavering back and forth and checking out other AWD sedans he settled on this one.

2021 Mazda3 AWD Turbo Premium Plus package with only 7500 miles. Shipped here from AZ.

He wanted this color/interior package specifically and even with shipping it here he got it for less than a brand new base model of the same car. I got on the phone several times to help the sales manager understand that he’s not paying for the dealer extras they added like $250 for nitrogen in the tires. Then the dealer quoted shipping at $2000 and wanted to roll it into the financing which was stupid. Found our own shipping company and for 1500 it was inside an enclosed trailer instead of an open trailer where it would eat road debris for 4 days.

At nearly 6’2” it’s a little small for me but he fits in it perfectly.

2013 Sonata 2.0T for sale soon with only 98000 miles.

Who did you use to ship? 1500 is a good price for enclosed

I'm a fan of this car. I think Mazda's design language has been terrific for a long time now, and they always put emphasis on the actual driving experience.

The only non-VW I've owned as my daily driver in the last 30 years was a 2008 Mazdaspeed 3.

I really like this car as well....I priced one out...my only dislike is you cant get an AWD version with a manual, but this is life now.

Also better looking in person. I posted the one I saw last week and I hated it in pictures but whenever I've seen one in person, looks way better.

Front end gives way to the original GT-40 design but a wild-modernized middle/rear of the car but not over the top actually.

Yeah and the scissor doors are a nice touch. When I took my GT350 to the shop for PPF a guy had his GT trucked in. Wouldn't even drive it there!

Oh dear God. People...

A neighbor of a friend has a new Roush (I think) Mustang. He's completely over-the-top insane about its condition. That car may never exceed 70mph and only then late in the afternoon (to avoid direct sunlight) on a perfectly clear day, at least 3 months after the salt has been washed away.
