Hi there. I bought a brand new Mazda 3 Sport GS with the 6 speed manual and comfort package. Actually I was originally looking at the Toyota Matrix but was pricing cars and the Mazda dealership was on the way to the Toyota dealership. I've had a friend of mine with an older Mazda 3 model and loved it. My cousin also has a Mazda 3 and loves it too!! So once I test drove the Mazda, I was HOOKED! I thought I'm going to have to get this car. My wife liked it and my 3 children liked it too! Test drove the Matrix afterwards, but still liked the Mazda. I will be getting the car tomorrow, so I am excited and really can't wait till I drive the car. I will post later with pics.
