- 2007 Mazdaspeed3 Sport - Black Mica
A bit about myself:
I am 27, married, from Wilmington, DE. I sell insurance for a living. To attorneys. It's quite exciting.
I had a 1996 Honda Civic EX, 2dr, 5spd, with an intake, exhaust, strut tower bar, and a really nice system (Alpine head, Alpine door speaks, Alpine rear deck speaks, 2 10" JLs w/ 800w Kenwood amp). Then, sometime in April, the engine died. Something about no oil in the thing...
At the time, I was in no position to be buying a car. I was working on paying off a trip to Europe (I leave in 6 days!!!) and had been waiting for the Civic Si Sedan to come out this fall. My father-in-law, being the swell guy he is, gave me his 1999 Grand Am. I really felt like I needed a 4dr car to haul around clients, and this served as a temporary replacement until I could payoff my trip and focus on the Si. Then, by some miracle, I read about the all-new Mazdaspeed3. I thought I had died and gone to Japan.
A bit about my search fulfilled:
I lurked on these boards for a while reading about what people thought of the 3, and I was happy with what I heard. Yesterday, upon reading that another Delawarean put down his deposit, I headed over to the only Mazdaspeed dealer in DE and put down my $500 on a 2007 MS3 Sport, Black. They were actually planning on ordering a Red one, and I love Red, but I'm married. And the wife doesn't like Red. End of story.
I'll be around for a while now, hopefully participating, but definitely lurking and reading about everyone's experience with my future rocketship.
I'm off to wash my bad GM product. Later.
