Millennial here, most of my cars have been used and under $5k. '21 CX-5 is the most I've spent on a car and the first time I've ever financed a car. Didn't have to, but money would grow faster elsewhere. Old enough I guess to have interior comfort, build quality, materials, etc be a higher priority than other considerations. Also wanting more elegant styling than what other makers are coming out with these days with tons of angles and fake vents and excessive body lines etc. I honestly could've been in a Lexus if only they weren't so ugly. Was on the fence about turbo or NA, but figured since I was going with somewhat higher mileage used, NA would be a safer bet. I've got a dedicated sports car so the Mazda doesn't need to try to be that.
