thought I'd go ahead and say hi now lol
been lurking around here for months while eying the new Mazda3 Hatchbacks.....well, a couple of weeks ago some car trouble prompted me to go ahead and pull the trigger on getting one :cheesy:
2014 Mazda3 sGT in Titanium Flash Mica with Almond interior
I've been in various Subaru WRX's for the past decade, so this is quite a change for me...
I'm loving the better mileage on the cheaper gas, of course, but it's taking some getting used to on the lower power, FWD and automatic transmission.
Will definitely be looking to improve the handling, get better tires and a rear swaybar. Also looking at the CorkSport exhaust, this car is just too quiet lol
Aside from that, just planning a few cosmetic changes, turn the chrome accents into black chrome, decide on a new set of wheels, get some tint.....maybe do something about those damn piano black accents on the inside, but need to give that some thought first
Would love to squeeze a little more power out of it, but will wait patiently until the cars have been out long enough for a more solid baseline for aftermarket parts and tuning
And a few pics :thumbup 1:
Don't mind the rims, was trying to decide if I like gold against the brown, debating on the OZ Ultraleggerra 18x8 in gold, but this is a photoshop of what I'm thinking of doing with the chrome trim
