hey all, i知 pretty new here but i have only owned mazda cars. my first was a black 2008 3 that was my dads. the ac had broke a few years earlier. however when it hit 200,600 miles the transmission died. so i got a new 2010 3 with a stick. i love this car, and i知 planning to stick with mazda for a long time to come

 

Welcome to the forum. I have owned mostly Mazdas, however I have strayed a few times over the years, most recently, enticed by higher horsepower in a Sonata Turbo. While the Sonata was faster, nothing compares to the drive of a Mazda.

How many miles do you have on your 2010 3? Are you looking at the new 3?

 

i知 not really looking at a new car yet cause mine is still going strong. i think it has about 126,200 miles on it and it is serving me well. i do definitely like the new mazda痴 but i kinda fell in love with mine. just the way it drives and the way it puts a smile on my face every time i take a hard corner. but yeah not necessarily looking for a new car until this one gives out

 

Good for you. I am impressed with your willpower. I have 96,000 miles on my 2015 3 with no problems and I love it as well. I am itching to get a new one for no real need to upgrade.

 

yeah. i was thinking about doing a couple minor upgrades like a little turbo or some cosmetic things on the car because it is used and does show on the inside a little.

 

Trust me, there is nothing "minor" about adding a turbocharger to your car. The fact is, the cost of that "minor" modification will cost several times the value of your car.

 

i mean yeah but i don稚 think i will but it痴 just a thought
