New car: 2010 Mazda3 - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

sfd · 05-09-2009, 11:58 AM

Some of you may know me from the l-town area or the one fall drive I was able to attend with my Escort lx-e. It took me 2 weeks and 6 dealerships to find this exact model in this color. Everyone had them with the $1500 additional sound/moonroof package which I didn't want. So here she is:

2010 Mazda3 i Touring. Power everything, stability control (on and off switch), 5 speed automatic with manual mode, 147hp 33highway, fwd, full bluetooth phone and audio connectivity with voice control, aux input mp3/wma playback capability, black mica with black interior, 16inch alloy on Bridgestones, so on and so forth. I also picked up a car charger with dual USB ports so I can charge my phone and mp3 player at the same time and use my second 12v plug for my gps; highly advise these usb chargers. No more special plugs for all my devices since everything uses USBs anyway.

It's already dirty as ****

Love the car though, the center console has the aux input and the second 12v plug and it's deep as ****. Gauges are red with white needles and that blue around the audio controls lights up and flashes when you change something. Car listed for $19100, payed $17600. Warranty is a bit lacking (5 years/36000 bumper to bumper) but with the resale and quality on Mazda plus I plan dump it in 3 or 4 years, it'll suffice.

Congrats on the purchase. I would take that front bumper license plate holder off. Where does it display the radio channels and all.

it's a nice looking car, but I cant help but laugh at the front end. good luck with it. Maybe with an aftermarket front bumper it would look nice.

The jury is still out for me on these 2010 Mazda's. Every year they start looking more and more spaceship like.

Congrats on the new car - I'm not the biggest fan of the smiling front end but maybe it'll grow on me. Either way, congrats!
