[MZ3]

i own a honda odyssey (well parents do) as well.. and this place provides some help.. Also.. i liek to see whats on sale =P

I was gonig to buy a honda... if the civic came in hatch.. and the type R was a little insane and expensive for my liking =)

[m3ntAL_l2]

was driving around in a sp3for couple of weeks and they r beautiful n smooth

nice car!! in the mods area, u mentioned steering wheel contorls and ambient temp? did u swap over parts from another model mazda3?

[MZ3]

i bought them from mazda spare parts..

[Lukey]

What I wanna know is how P platers get there hands on such expensive cars?

[FAT VTI]

hahaha,

3 ways-
1) rich parents
2) apprenticeships
3) part time work + presents(parents) combined.

I payed for my car, and my mum pays for insurance, However my car is prob worth half of that mazda 3, however its twice as good being a honda :D

hahahaa

[SiReal]

now now no need for 'honda arrogance'. I'm sure that mazda is just as good in every way as our car. Its a japanese car company so they follow extremely strict standards regardless.

except for mitsubishi fuso and trucks who knowingly put defect parts into production, killing several customers who had bought their vehicles cos they crashed.

nice man, my friend got one too and its a really good drive in my opinion, smooth comfortable and not too shabby when you need to overtake or even get into merging lane :p

[MZ3]

LOL.. I had an old corolla.. and over year 12.. i invested my money in shares... and my parents told me if i got 90+ uai.. they would double whatever i had in my car budget.. i reached 10k.. which was unexpected for them... so.. i had a total of 20K.. and i traded in my old rollla.. to get my mazda!. I'm not a complete bludger.. i worked my ass off to get that money....

But its been a great car! I never really considered mazda before.. it was always toyota or honda...

Part time work to pay for mods + petrol + insurance.... uni time to enjoy the car! =P

I just wanna say.. i test drove the new civic and new corolla.. and.. for my money.. i thought that the mazda 3 had the best compromise of ride comfort.. power.. and handling.. Civic was too expensive and big... felt like a big ass car.....Corolla was TOO boring..
