Talking Test Drives

With the day off work and nothing to do I decided to blow sometime and test drive some cars.

2006 Mazda mx-5. Sweet ride. Handles great and feels bigger inside then it is.
2010 VW golf TDI. Tons of torque. Puts your head back when you step on it.
Just not a VW person.
2003 mr-2. Really fun car to drive but no power
2006 mini S. Blah. Not impressed. Only car I drove without an auto. Fun to
drive, handles great, but just no power.

And.......we ended up coming home with a new Mazda 3. 2011 metallic blue hatchback.

I went out for something to do and ended up trading our Mazda 3 for a new one. Still scratching my head on how that happened. But heck it's an awesome car.

I know better than to go look at cars because I always leave with a new one. In fact I've only owned one car long enough that the warranty expired. The HHR will be the second. Maybe.

Yep guys , There's some nice stuff out there , If someone said here is a new CX7 , will you give up the BATRIDE , Dam , I might . She loves it (which makes me love it LOL) It's so tight and smooth , And the dash is one of the nicest ever. 2012 is the last year for the CX7 , 0 % fin. I do like it .
