Take a good look at the car mags and see what they recommend. The Mazdaspeed3 is a great car and comes highly recommended. I’ve bought used if its the right car and the right price. New if its high performance or highly in demand. Don’t take what the dealer has on the lot unless its EXACTLY what you want. Remember that you will have it for a long time. Get what you want. I’m a car nut and hate to see people settle for an appliance when you can have an experience.

I went to all three SD Mazda dealers (Escondido, National City, and Hotel Circle). John Hine (hotel circle) had the exact model, color, and features I wanted in a car that had never been even test driven before, based on the odometer reading. I don’t finance and they seemed so happy to accept payment in full that they didn’t even give me BS about the price I wanted, they just gave it. They usually do that “let me talk to my manager” thing.

Jeeze, I’m starting to sound like I work for John Hine. Anyway, I love the Mazda (or perhaps this is just my self-affirmation a la AAngel). I also liked the Honda CR-V a lot and am kind of sad to be selling it after 10 years (I really need to get a wife).

My brother has a Mazda 3 and likes it. It is extremely well rated. I can’t even look at the the Mazda3 or the Civic because I don’t fit comfortable. I had to bump up the the 2 door Accord back in 2000 when I bought my car. I still like the styling better than the new accord body lines. 97000 miles and never had a problem with the car.

My only gripe on cars liek Honda’s are that 7 years after they remodel the cars they stop carring parts which increases the probability of theft. I have had 2 Accords stolen on me. Pisses me off but hey that’s what insurance is for.

There is a reason for this. Actually, Accords and Civics are pretty expensive to insure. A lot of the wannabe-racer-dudes (i won't use the derogatory term to describe them) with civics and accords often steal them to rip off the parts for cars they screw up trying to race. Or the make their hondas look like they can race (for example, the fart can exhausts, the cut springs, the bling bling wheels…We've all seen them on the roads). The problem is that Honda parts are so interchangeable, a used honda chopped up is much more valuable than the car itself. Had someone have his instrument cluster in a Honda stolen while parked in his apartment, because some of the lower trim DX models don't have the tachometer and a lot of those wannabe-racer-dudes want a tachometer in a DX trim, even though the car is an automatic. But at least they were nice and didn't smash the dash to rip it out..The actually  spent the time to disassembled the dash and left all the screws and trim fittings in the car  for us to reassemble.
