Like I said in my previous post about buying a new 1:1, I'm Going to really mis my Scion TC coupe which had served me for 10 years without any problems.....


But this new Mazda 3S "Touring" 5 door I brought home from the dealerships just this last Thursday is just head over shoulders above the Scion TC when it comes to performance and all the electronic goodies that came with the car!!
Along with the fresh styling, there's just so much value to this car and I've been really having fun with the sport mode settings on the auto trans plus it's paddle shifters!






I was actually trying to buy a six pseed manual, but the dealers were not cooperative at all with trying to locate one for me, but then I figured, the better pricing I was actually getting with the auto, plus the better fuel mileage ratings from it (37 MPG Highway), the auto became a better choice for me in the end. So much content/value for the money!
The car really "zoom-zooms" on sport mode and I was able to beat off a Subaru BRZ and a 3 series BMW when the challenged me on the road (This car seem to attract attention). The acceleration on sport mode reminds me of my motorcycle, as the car literally rockets forward when you put on the gas.....
If I'm not careful, I'd be getting tickets with this car very soon...
If everything goes well, this would be a start of another long term relationship with my Mazda, maybe as long as I had with the Scion!... :^))
