So, I finally got my first car (been using my parents' 97 Mercury Villager) and it's a 2012 Mazda3.. and I love it!! Finally decided to join this forum too.

 

Welcome to the club! I just purchased my Mazda 3 i Touring with Skyactiv today and the gas mileage is outstanding. I'm 30 years old and have owned many cars. This one is looking the most promising of them all. You made a great decision.

 

Welcome!!

I've been the proud owner of my 2012 Mazda 3 Sport Touring HB since Nov/2011. Sitting at 2,400 miles and it still has that new car smell. This car is FUN! I got the punch of the 2.5L engine at the cost of a few mpgs. No regrets...its my little bmw in cognito...

 

Congrats on the purchase. Just picked up my MS3 this week and love it. Got rid of my truck to do so and miss it dearly but this thing is amazingly fun to drive and gets better gas mileage with my foot to the floor than my truck ever did when I would baby it.

 

Welcome everyone
