Yup! I thinkhe must. He loves his"Bu," which is OK, but still hangs out w/us... which is still OK.

Hey, "If you ain't laughin', you ain't livin'."

I don't take much seriously anymore, nor do I say anything seriously online. Way I figure it, guys are always gonna chide each other about their cars...so why not have some fun and be imaginative, you know? [8D]

 

'Sounds like a good philosphy to live by to me!!

 

my brother had a 2004 corolla S and he got it about 2 months before i got my 2004 Mazda3 S and when he drove mine he turned sold his car, lost about 3,000 then went and bought a Mazda3 S

it's rediculous how nice it handles.
the price is amazing for what you get
it's a very safe car, i know, mines been hit 3 times. (and no, none of them where my fault)
*safety is a very very important thing for me, after loosing my best friend in a car accident i wouldn't buy a car that wasn't safe. i never want to see anyone go through what my family did so when i bought my car the first thing i looked at was safety features... corolla charged 2,000 for side impact airbags, as apposed to mazda who paired it with ABS breaks for around.. 600.00 i think...*

i think mazda3 is definally a lot nicer then anything in it's class and price range.
it's got looks, gooooood looks, safety, efficency (sp?), and best of all... i could pay mine off before i turned 50! i have friends who'll be paying off their cars for 8 years and by that time their FORD will be broken...

peace

There's no comparing the 3 to a Corolla. Or a Mazda to a Toyota, imo.
The similarities endat overall size and number of cylinders.

 

The only Toyota I'd even consider buying is a Matrix XR AWD. ...it seems like it would handle well, at least on paper.

 

yuck.. corolla.. i wouldnt mind if u drop a AE86 in my lap though..

 

I guess then that you don't read Peter Egan's column in Road & Track.
He traded a Mini S for one, and says it's an OK grocery getter, but boring as hell.

 

Well, I did say "on paper." I was hoping the AWD option would at least win it some points in handling.

 

its jsut a very weird lookin car in my opinion..... honestly dont kno hoo it would appeal to..
