I recently discovered this forum and this is my first post, so hi!

My wife just got a brand new 2006 6 Sport Wagon (base model, automatic) last week, and we love it. This is her 2nd Mazda, as she had a 1994 626 sedan before. Believe it or not, the 626 had only 75,000 miles on it after 12 years. She gave it to her grandmother.

My car is a '98 Saturn SL2, and after seeing the Mazda 3 I want one (preferably a GT w/sunroof, and manual tranny of course). I'm trying to resist the urge to get into car payments again... of course I shouldn't be posting here then I guess.

 

Congrats kpatz on the purchase of a great car for the wife and welcome to the group forum here. I don't think you would be disappointed in that decision to trade the Saturn in for a Mazda 3 GT. Great driving car. Can't blame you about the car payments though.[:@]
