I just purchased a 2013 Mazda3 i SV, 2.0L 5 speed automatic 70k miles, southern car, super clean inside no rust underneath. While it’s not perfect and will need a few things to make it my own, it is a vast improvement from the aging tired 2009 Ford Fusion it replaced. It will primarily serve as my work commuter with occasional kiddo transport.

I’ll be meandering the forums to see what there is here, and I’ll be looking for fellow members in the Chicagoland area to bounce ideas off and help steer me in the right direction. I’ve already got my Amazon cart loaded with some maintenance parts to start things off right!

 

Welcome to the forum

We have a lot of members that can help you with advise and suggestion and I believe I have seen one or two members that live in or close to your area.
You may have to post a couple times to get them to respond.

 

Thank you! Hopefully I do run into them, it’s always nice to find fellow owners nearby.
