Just got me a Mazda 3... Pics Added!
Just bought me a Black Mazda 3i Touring and can't wait until I pick it up today. Coming from a Toyota Tacoma Double Cab, so it will be a different experience. I test drove the Corolla S and Suby Impreza the Mazda was by far the nicest.

Looks just like mine, a 2010...right? I have the i-touring too.
It really is a nice car eh? I've put an unbelievable 45,000 miles on it since like april 2009.
THings that have happened. Mostly good though. I had to take it back at around 30,000 miles because the front rotors were warped and they would only resurface the rotors for me, but free of charge at the dealership.
Take the car to a LOCAL shop or the dealership for OIL CHANGES. Simple idea, but I learned the hard way by dumbly letting walmart do one and, well, they messed up.
Other than that, at 45,000 miles, I've had NO problems at all. Electrical is good, fair gas mileage.
If you get snow, it's kind of not the best car in it, but it's SNOW right? It's slick!
Oh, and the original tires were still good this march but were going to be uninspectible soon, so I replaced them with some goodyear eagle rsa's.
Have fun with your new car.
If you ever have any questions about how mine is doing as it ages, let me know.
Oh, there's a harness recall you can get done free at a dealership. Plus they may update your computer for free too.

I've got an 11 iTouring too, coming from 10 Tacoma DC (given to my daughter). Here is mine. What a difference? so much more fun to drive. The Tacoma is nice to drive on the hwy but sucks in city traffic. Despite the 4 liter, the trans is programmed to save gas and so clumsy and sluggish when trying to accelerate while the car is running. It only responds when you slam on the gas. Toyota always care about how their cars look on paper, not real life driveability.
