or she could wait a year and get teh euro fofo

I hope it says "Mazdaspeed" on the back.

*wink wink nod nod*

I hope she's getting a white one. I love white mazdaspeed 3's.

Your gf either has great taste in cars, or is being influenced by the right person. Either way, that car will be fun to drive. [headbang]

i wish it said mazdasped. ever since the 3 came out we've been drooling. i couldn't afford one when i needed a car so i bought my st. she has very good taste in cars but she is also influenced by someone who is obsessed with them, me. yes, it will definetly be white. she originally wanted the sedan, but now has taken a liking to the 5 door, i am too.

we are test driving this weekend. by test driving i mean test driving. i saw a guy the other day "test driving" a bmw m3 going 40 in a 50. has anyone heard any bad things with the 3? anything i should look for?

i havent heard anything bad about them, but no one who told me that owns them, so im not exactly the best person to come to with this.

When I had my rental, its was amazing. Just, accidently get a mazdaspeed lol.

Yeah I rented a Mazda3 for a week and that is one fun car! Congrats!

Very nice!

the only bad thing ive ever heard is that they have very thin paint and they scratch easily. good choice though, i really like those cars. especially the interior. i just wish they made a 2 door.

Can't wait for the new 3 to come out huh?

Well, for what its worth. I was advised not to get the white pearl paint. You cannot match it if you need a bit of repair. They have to repaint the whole car. That is the only 'warning' I have ever gotten from a Mazda owner.

i think you should have posted a pic of your girl instead :) :) :)
