My father will be getting the Magnum with the BIG engine in it as soon as it's available. We went to the autoshow some months back to decide on a new car for him, and that's the one he decided on even though he could get just about anything he wanted.

Elara, I would seriously consider the VW or in particular Audi suggestions I made. They will give your hubby that german car feel and it won't be a BMW.

Elara specifically said it can't be a girly-car.

Since it's Tuesday I figured I'd be safe saying that.

I was surprised to learn this after all the improvements Mazda did to the 3. I checked out the goverment and insurance websites ... and sadly found out that the Protege had better results which wasn't that great (The Focus and Civic were at the top)!

I love everything else about the 3, but not when it comes to the crash tests.

So please withdraw my vote for the 3.
