Hello New car.
2005 mazda 3 2.3l
5 speed man tranny
and some other options

Quoted: Nice, good luck with the new car. Mazda make some nice cars, my cousin has a Mazda 3. I really like the styling, and they are a pretty good deal for the money. ^_^_^

I hope its as durable as the old 90 camry dx.  that thing took a beating and kept on going.  its bottomed out in pot holes, hit speed bumps, curbs, more potholes, got t boned at an intersection, hit from the rear, plowed into someones rear (about 2 years after my parents bought it new in '90), oil changes after 15k while trying to kill it, black tranny fluid and the list goes on.  Only thing I replaced in the car was the starter (did it myself) and a new transmission computer after I got tboned in nov 03 (had some elctrical issues, mainly the idiot lights and the guage lights turning on and off randomly) and some wicked vibration in the steering wheel after 30mph.  It had over 150k on the clock and had another 100k left in it.  
Back to the 3, I liked both the 4 door and the hatch.  The 4 door would have been easier to get since the hatch with a manual transmission is damn near impossible to find.  2 cars within 100 miles, wayne nj and yonkers.  Next closest were renassaleur and rochester.  I didnt want the moonroof but decided to take it rather than a car with 100+ miles from a dealer swap.

Tom grats and welcome home!

My friend has a Mazda 6 and loves it!  My former had a Mazda 626 and she loved it.  Hope you enjoy your's just as much!
