My new ride, not quite what I expected...

My 1997 328is is sold and gone. It had a lot of expensive problems because of its high milage. My goal for awhile now, and why I have been on these forums, has been to get a new 3 series with a warranty so I had nothing to worry about.

Well, when it came down to signing that lease, I just couldn't do it. It would have stretched my budget too thin. So, for the next 36 months I am driving a Mazdaspeed 3. It's a nice car with a solid fit and finish, and it's fast (0-60 5.8s) but it's no BMW. Torque-steer aside, it is really a fun little car. The goal now is to enjoy the 36 months with the Mazdaspeed 3 and hope I can scrape enough money together for my next car to be a M3 :rocks:

Thanks for your support guys, I'll still be around on the forums since my BMW obsession will probably never die.

I think one of those were trying to keep up with me the other day, it was fun I was somewhat surprised at it's speed but what do I know... I can't judge cars by their size and makes all the time :P

M3's a big step up but I guess you got till '08 or '09 if you wait for 2nd year models.
