2010 Mazda Mazdaspeed 3 in Velocity Red
---Single owner, lightly modded, two sets of wheels and tires, engine heavily serviced recently---
If you're looking for a fun yet practical car that you have to shift yourself but will leave a smile on your face every time you drive it, I can assure you this is the car for you.
I bought the car new in 2010 and have enjoyed every minute of that ownership.
Now that I have a new toy and with my kids learning to drive, it is with sadness that I must sell the car.

-Small gash on rear bumper (picture)
