    Thumbs up Bought my first car: Mazda 3 Hatchback. Hello TorontoMazda3.ca!

    Hi there, I'm David from Toronto! Just got this car about a week ago, loving it so far. Its a 2008 Sport GX 5 speed. I'm getting used to driving manual and it is very fun (aside from the beginning, stalling all the way home was embarrassing). It came with those rims, I personally don't like them on this vehicle so that will probably be my first change to my Mazda 3. After that, I'm not looking to change much more (maybe cold air intake, suspension at the most) as this will be my daily driver/winter car as I look to purchase a first-gen RX7.

    Welcome to TM3! Don't have to write the whole name. It's cooler that way.
    Nice ride. Rims, CAI, and suspension is already quite a bit (of $) .
    Consider a SRI instead of a CAI.

    Thank you for teaching me how to be cool around these parts. Haha!

    A lot of money indeed but "no ragrets" right? Its really all about budgeting. Not like I'll be buying it all at the same time unless I win the lottery next week. ;)

    Welcome. I'm with you on the wheels - I hate those so much I don't understand why people pay money for them. Nearly anything is better looking haha.

    Welcome and Congratulations! I remember my first stick car, was so much fun. But you couldn't pay me to drive stick in today's traffic. Hope you've been practicing you're 1 to 2 and than back to 1 shifts. I use to commute from Mississauga to Vaughan and I would never get beyond 3rd, I don't miss that one bit. Don't let me jade you though, stick is great when you're not in the GTA.
