New 2018 Mazda3 GS Hatchback owner from Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, Canada. Had a 2012 Mazda3 Hatch (which my wife flipped and totaled - she's ok) and then had a Kia Forte and a Honda HRV before coming back to Mazda. Liked the HRV a lot but really wanted the new advanced safety features, especially the lane watch as you can guess. Will make me more comfortable riding with my wife. Honda's not putting them on the 2018 HRVs and Mazda has them on the GS in Canada. Picking up the new car tomorrow. Really liked the test drive and, of course, all the reviews are top notch. Looking forward to driving it.
Regards to everyone.

Hello rgs, welcome to the forum! These new Mazdas sure are pretty well equipped when it comes to safety, you made a good choice. Wish you that both you and your wife have no such accidents in the future and you will be happy with your new Mazda!

Road Trip - Thanks for those posts on mud flaps. I live on a gravel road too and those posts saved me from getting the OEMs.
