Well sorta, used these forums to do my researched when looking to purchase my mazda. I picked up a 2004 gt hatch, mica black, leather, moon roof, fogs. Had all the bells and whistle minus the tint which I later installed. 20% rear and corners, 32% on the fronts.Paid $9700 out the door and on the road with 54 000km's on it. Was buddies summer car, why so cheap you might ask. Car was in a side impact and both driver side doors have been replaced but no structual damage so I was happy.
I've modded a few things hear and there and have alot more planned for the spring. Grabbed a o.e.m. mazda roof rack not to long ago which looks absolutly amazing, plan on picking up a thule fairing for it soon aswell. Blacked out the emblems, plan on doing the batman mod some time this week.
Very happy with the car I must say, I have a few friends with them and have heard good things. I was always a honda boy (give me a break, I started when I was 17 and I'm not 24) so the mazda was a much needed step up. Needed some reliable, good on gas, decent on insurance and would make me proud to drive again. My civic had it's good days and bad but sadly realised with all the modifications I'd never see the money again so I cut my loses and opt out for newer car. I was considering maybe trading up next year for the MS3 next year when a few tickets drop off my license which is why I'm doing light mods for now until I'm absolutly sure.
Well I wont ramble anymore seeing that you all have the same view on this car...lol. Just wanted to express my new found love for mazda's in general.![]()
