I came very close to getting my 4th Mazda in a row before I got the CR-V, but the SkyActive motor and the AT combo is just too darn slow.

I had a long list of crappy company cars prior to my TSX. Hated them all, but saved me a ton of money because I didn't have to pay for the car, maintenance, gas, insurance, rental replacements, etc. That lasted for about 7 years. They kept giving me cars, even after I blew the engine in one of them.
Before that:
2002 RSX Type S (sold it to buy my wife a 2006 Accord)
1994 Chevy Camaro
My first car was some hand-me-down Honda. So old, I don't remember what type or the year. It caught on fire on the freeway. Good times.

Yes I was very much a mazda fan too ... had 3 Mazda's in a row from 626 to Mazda 6 to Mazda 5 (Mazda 5 was my wife's car ... I do have to clarify but there's a common problem with Mazda's, especially in early 2000's - rust. For whatever reason their panels had rust problems, regardless of where they are made too - I had Japanese and American made mazda's and same thing.

I had a 1998 Honda Civic that my was passed down to me. Its been running until earlier this year when I totaled it in the snow (black ice around a curve, thankfully no one was hurt). Just bought a 2nd gen TSX and, I must say, its quite an upgrade from a car that sounded like a Ferrari but ran like a rickshaw.

Only had two previous cars before my TSX:
1995 Honda Accord
2000 Acura 3.2TL
I miss both of them sometimes, that little Accord was a great car and loved that TL too, but I wouldn't trade my TSX for anything right now.

My car list was slow to start but crazy at the end.
1991 Ford Thunderbird (engine fire) led to my Acura phase
1993 Integra LS (Really miss this car)
2001 CL Type S (lots of tranny issues)
2012 Civic SI (had for 2 month's)
2012 TSX SE (black)
2012 Acura TL (worst car)
2013 TSX SE (silver) current car.
Since August of 2011 I have gone through 4 cars by myself. I think I should stop now.

Your lude is beautiful, love the color. Ever thought of getting an OEM front lip? I think that alone completes the look of the car.
