Hi Everyone :D


Just got mine Monday evening !

I love it !

White Sport 2012 with a manual tranny, had 10 miles on it when I drove it off the lot.

I find it spunky and spirited.

All the women in my office love it.

I've had a GLC, 323's, Protege's and now a 2.

My top mileage was on a 96 Protege, 1.5 L, manual tranny. I got 387 K on it before I retired it, clutch lasted 325 K ! I did all the maintenance and repairs on it myself to make sure it was gettin done right. Like a friend of mine once said " No one will be more careful with your car than you will "

I drive a lot so I will try to remember to keep tabs on my MPG and report back here.

Really diggin the ride, it's a blast ! I haven't had a new car in 15 years so I am quite beside myself :D

Anyway, I am new to the forum and I just wanted to drop in and say Hi.

Best to all and I look forward to meetin everyone in the course of time :)

I also have a 96 Protege 1.5 Manual tranny right now. It is at 160k and engine still drives like new. But my 2nd gear synchro is bad. I just skip it and go straight to 3rd. I had the car for 6 years now and it has been very reliable.
 
Unzipher -----> Thanks for the Welcome ! My plans are to maintain it well and drive it forever :D



Rijstraket ------> Thanks I Will !


c7scayman ------> Wonderful Car ! All my Mazda's have been very reliable, especially the 96 Protege, you have a great car :D

Hi Colonel :)

Yeah, pics would be good, hehe. :)



Hi Ct,

The blue is beautiful, I could have easily gone either way. The white should help with the heat down here in Texas though.
