My new 2014 Mazda3s GT!
Last Thursday I traded in my 2012 Focus Titanium hatchback for a 2014 Mazda3s GT (2.5L) hatchback in Soul Red. The full Picasa Web photo album can be found here:

The same gas mileage as my Focus, faster, more fun to drive, and no more annoying shift logic in that Focus' dual-clutch transmission. My daily driver has to have an auto as the agreement I made with my wife when I bought my 09 RX-8 (manual transmission) so that she could drive it when her car is in the shop, etc. If I have to drive an automatic, this one is a good one, and is a blast in Sport mode. |
Pictures must be of Mazda RX8, Op suspended for two weeks, thread closed and moved, proceed to flame car....
all seriousness, congrats, car looks hotness, the wife and I went to look at one but couldnt justify the price and lack of space in the rear seats and trunk, does it have the funky nav? |
Man I really like the look of the new 3 and 6. . . makes me wish they still had the Rx-8 model in the lineup. Also can't wait to see what they do with this design on the new Miata too.
Nice color combo! |
I like it!
|
I went to look at one but I just can't pull the trigger without a 6MT in the S models.
|
Looks freaking awesome! Congrats on that. Hmm, cant wait to see these cars modded
|
I can't see the picture album but the pics posted here are beautiful. The car is gorgeous.
Paul. |
Thanks for the comments, all. Yes, it has nav, although I'm not sure what's funky about it. The display is that one that sticks up out of the dash. The MyFordTouch system in my Focus had more features and was easier to use while you're driving, but it was also much slower.
I will be getting some aftermarket wheels for summer use. I'm not terribly fond of the OEM wheels, especially with the Soul Red Metallic color. Right now I'm leaning toward the TSW rotary forged Interlagos wheels in black. |
Now you have the 'best' car in that segment on the planet from the current production selections.
Nice addition to the garage. |

Foglight housings are the same exact housings found in the RX-8. |
I wanted one, but I couldn't afford it.
OP is a Balla' . . .. I am not :crying: |
New summer wheels for the new 3 arrived last night:

Now I have to stare at them in my basement until next spring. |
nice car and nice wheels
:icon_tup: |
the new 3 and 6 look GREAT and I suspect will continue looking good for a long time - as compared to the new Focus, which is already looking kinda dated
