Luckily, it was not the new TSX, but an old Mazda MX6 that TSX will be replacing next week.

The disturbing thing is this happened in my own driveway.
I think I may consider getting an upgraded security system for the TSX. It would not really protect the car, but it may be enough of a deterrent.

Good riddance to 2005.

 

ouch, sorry to hear that.

Though i think you made the right choice, what made you chose the TSX over the new mazda6?

Happy New Year!

 

I never really seriously considered getting another Mazda. They are doing a good job with the marketing, RX-8 & 3 have been pretty popular among friends & neighbors.

Though the MX-6 has been a reliable car, I was never impressed by it. It was my wife's car till I sold my Prelude, then she got a Passat.

We looked at a bunch of cars in the summer of 05. We almost got a TL then, but we decided to wait for the 06. She liked the feel of 06 TSX better than TL. TSX provided the best combination of drivability, features & value. It is a nice daily driver. Hopefully, it will be as reliable as the Prelude & MX-6 because Passat has not been despite it drives very well.

 

Congrats on your purchase, and according to the kind folks on this forum, you are really going to enjoy the TSX.

I am almost 100% certain that your TSX is going to see a lot less dealer time than your passat.
