I didnt think it would actually happen though.
And for an auto 3? I test drove one of those things a few months ago - the steering and handling was more numb than almost anything I've ever driven.
At least you've still got the 335, right?

Its funny how no one said a word when I bought the S2k which was actually costing me MORE to own than the Mazda3. Even though money wasnt really the issue about me dumping it.
Hate me cuz you aint me

I don't see any hate per se...I just see alot of people who're more on the side of the fence.
If you're going to post something about what you did, expect feedback...and if you get all your panties up in a knot over feedback that is not to your liking, well...gee...

does it feel wierd going b/w stick and auto all the time?
One thing that messess(?) me up is switching b/w my car the wifes. In the 335 the breaks are so frickin touchy. In my wifes car (a passat) i have to put my foot thru the firewall to get the thing to stop. Lotta fun on the days i switch back and forth

Jesal- I know you said it was an "impulse" buy but why the 3 over others in the class?

New 3 has a nice exterior (specially the hatch) but the interior is only ok.
The new civic looks hot in and out. I love the interior.
Sentra...what a boring econobox.

Interest rate on a used car most of the time is always higher.
Unless you find a dealer is who is offering specials on slightly used models. Plus insurance was pricey on the s2k. I just didnt want to keep it for many reasons.
Anyways, topic has been beaten to death. Time to move on, I will make a new thread in the future either about a month review or what I buy next.

It's just merely a dime-a-dozen sporty coupe that I see every 3-5 times each day. Wait...it's about 10-15 times since I'm working out of Vancouver these days.
So, not really sure why you'd pump in the $ in the first place to get the Mazda 3.
For the cost of buying this "DD" as you would call it (which IMO you ALREADY own a DD in the 335), why don't you put that into something that appreciates and earns you money...like...property?

Talking about the design. the 3 is nice, but too busy for my tastes. I could live it if I was rocking a MS3. But I love the interior design of the new civic. Its like being a in a spaceship.

The MS3 is such an awesome little car. Sadly, I am in no need of another turbo FWD hatch otherwise it would be mine.
Crazy Sellout - I dont see a problem with switching cars out often. Most people on this board would love to. I just think your contentment with you car just varies depending on the day. Some days you want something, next week you want something else next month youre back to where you started, until tomorrow.
I have that personal bias - drive what you love. Period. Nothing less should do. An end goal should be in mind, otherwise youre just spending a lot of extra money testing the waters.

Name another car besides the S2k that I have been like that with? From day one i was wishy-washy with the S2k about keeping or selling. Never like that with any other car I had bought.
I wanted a track only car but i changed my priorities and now needed something for work that was 4 doors. Plain and simple.
Now my 335i will have to pull track duty on the few times i make it out on the track. Woe is me.

To me, that will always be the definition of busy ... What seems like hundreds of inscrutable buttons with no logical layout. Kinda like this:

I don't think anyone is bashing Jesal and if they were I'd be one of the first to defend him. Half the people here love giving him a hard time because, well, he's been here so long and we know him so well.
