[dronesurfboards]

Thumbs up on the car! Its nice to know when galant owners think BIG when looking for another car.

i notice the euro plate on the audi in the background, but lots of people have euro front plates around here lately

[oakrdrs187]

That plate doesn't look euro to me.

Not trying to hijack the thread but... Ray, you crazy son of a bitch! What is up man? Good to see you around here. :)

Dave needs to spill the beans already. lol

[RedGalant2k1]

Spilling the beans, a few select people already knew...lol





The beans are spilled. It is a 2012 Mazda 3s Grand Touring 2.5 I4. It has:

• Heated & leather wrapped MazdaSpeed3 seats,
• Compact Navigation,
• Factory bi-xenon lights,
• LED taillights,
• Push button start,
• Advanced keyless entry (like mitsubishi's Fast Key),
• Bose 10-speaker audio system,
• Rear Lip Spoiler,
• 17" Wheels,
• Dynamic Stability Control,
• Adaptive Front Headlights (turn up to 15* left or right when turning),
• Tilt/Telescoping Steering wheel,
• Power Driver's Seat,
• Much more...

And no, the Fiat 500 Abarth is not out either :) This was a more prudent decision at this time, plus with how much I saved, it really was a no brainer for this Mazda to acquire a spot in my stable. I have gotten up to 35mpg already on this thing!

Congrats and welcome to the Galant/MZ3 family! I was averaging 36 MPG with ours when I was driving it back and forth to school!

It's so happy to be in your driveway!

Nice pickup! Is it true that Mazda is stopping production in the US in 2012, or is it just the Mazda 6? Something about the links with Ford being removed?

The Mazda 6 won't be produced in Flat Rock, MI anymore after 2012. It is slated to be produced in Japan starting 2013. All other Mazda's are to be produced as they currently are.

[tamim13]

Thanks for the info, I was just in the Mazda dealership here in MI, and they were saying something vaguely similar. The features you have listed are great for a nice little i4.

[4g63lover]

The G looks so small next to it. If you were going to lower it, I say go with the Eibach Sportlines. it gave Tegans car a nice drop.

[Blue8g]

I find it ridiculous that what is considered a 'compact car' today is that much bigger than what was a midsize car just a few years ago.

Congrats on the pickup though, Dave.

[RedGalant2k1]

I agree about the subcompacts being as big as midsized cars too...lol
However the Galant is about 8" longer than the Mazda, and it is noticeable in the rear legroom.
