I tried, really I did. She had no interest. She wanted a car that was "Good on gas" and "Cute".

Have to admit though...it is a fun little car to whip around in.

And if I feel the need for speed..I always have my MS6.

What's the factory name for the color? It looks kind of like a greenish-grey mist of some sort.

before I ended up with my 06 6MT tsx my other choice was a mazdaspeed 6. Went to the local mazda dealer and told the salesperson exactly what I wanted. He preceded to show me a silver one (I wanted red). He tried to get me to buy it. I told him I wanted to check out the tsx first. Ended up with my tsx-love it. Our last mazda was a 1991 (bought new) Mazda MX-6 GT. When we sold it almost 2 years ago for $5,000, it had almost 250,000 miles. It had the original turbo, engine, clutch, transmission and ran excellent.

It just came out through the last half of the 2008 Model Year. "Golden Sand Metallic".

In person it has no green in it at all. I think its my shitty cameras fault.

Great choice... while I really want to like the civic in this class, the Mazda's interior is way better... and the hatch gives you quite a bit of utility....

I got 34mpg highway and probably very high 20s combined in my 2004 Mazda3 5-dr with a 5-speed manual.

Looks nice Killer!

I just hit 3,000 miles on my 07 3s. It's still a fun little car and amazing that us taller people can fit into them comfortably. I'm averaging about 27mpg mixed.
