Looks like Christmas came early for a few of us.

'06 Mazda 3 s hatchback in Titanium Grey (my first new car!):











My previous car was a '94 Saturn SL1. Needless to say I'm just a wee bit happier with my new ride. It has amazing handling, a fantastic and responsive engine (great power for a 4-cyl, too), and a great interior with plenty of headroom and lots of cargo room (which my dog will surely appreciate). I ended up buying a little sooner than I first thought, but with a better financing rate than anticipated, and the newer (and more expensive) 07's starting to phase out the 06's, and the fact my Saturn was starting to act up (idling at close to 2k rpm instead of the usual 1k, rattling sounds that weren't there previously...), I figured it was a good time to go.

Now excuse me while I take my new car for a drive.
