    Wife finally found a new DD

    Well, my wife wanted something reliable and bigger than her '07 vert Beetle so she did her own research and made her own deal. She even made them throw in and install roof racks and a trailer hitch! Paid $25,261 cash/tags/tax etc for this http://stevensonmazda.com/Wilmington/For-S...ck-SUV/6354305/

    She is happy and I'm happy. So we shall see how it is this weekend, heading to Savannah in it.

    I have heard that these get horrible gas mileage. Hopefully thats not that case. Also I see no trailer hitch or roof racks.... whats the deal?
    Your signature picture has been removed since it contained the Photobucket "upgrade your account" image.
    This is the internet. Just make something up.

          yeah, sucks that it's an SUV that can't do anything.

            On order, apparently they don't normally equip these on the lot...

            Gas mileage, it gets better than what her VW did so I'm okay with that. And can't do anything!?! It can do more than her previous car so that's a plus :p

            Plus no warm CEL glow

              I like mazdas but I don't see how these new ones got released with that goofy grin they are wearing...it's all I can see on them.

                we inherited it after her mom passed a month ago. '01 Park Avenue with all the bells and whistles. Two pluses... The A/C works and I'm not piling on the miles on my ETA now :p

                Even if it is a boat and makes me look like grandpa

                    only the old RX7's and the RX8's have the wankel engines. and yeah, i cant stand the gaping grin of current mazdas. I hate it when car designers try put a face on a car. speakign o which, i noticed the old Chrysler Sebring cars had a face on the back, look closely. god those thing were shit.

                            lol rotary engines. ups and downs like all things. rx8 transmissions are shit. if the engine isnt losing compression and dying on you, your transmission is dead. gah. all rx8s need ls1+t56 swaps. wish i had bought an fd rx7, s2000, e30 m3, z3m, etc etc instead of my rx8. im in need of transmission #3...

                            congrats on the cx7. those are great little suvs. they use the same engine in the speed3 and speed6 and uses the awd from the speed6. nice little turbo 4s. with a few light mods and a tune you can put down 300whp. so i dont know what anyone is saying about useless.
                            AWD > RWD
