I find the hatch looks too much like a PT Cruiser

I dig the Sedan. I'm waiting for my Black Sedan GT GFX. Should be getting in within a week

Hey Dre, weren't you getting titanium gray? Or did it not impress you in real life (I'm still trying to find a dealer in Toronto that has this so I can see it in real life)

Well, I'm thinking of buying the hatch for practicality and versatality. At least it's shorter in height than the Toyota Corolla and Camry.

Indeed I was, but then I saw one in person last night and it wasn't quite what I was exepecting. I was expecting the Titanium you see on the MSP but it didn't really look the same. It looked too much like grey to me. Not enough metallic in it.

There was also an orange one there which was pretty nice but I'm a pretty plain kinda guy and I would get annoyed by orange after a while. The orange has a really nice metallic finish to it. I'm going back tomorrow morning to test drive one. I'll bring my camera and snap some pics for you guys.

They also have a silver sedan and a silver hatch. Another dealer has a blue, a red, and a white sedan but they are all the low-end model.

If you don't get to a dealership, Mazda3's will be at the AZ International Auto Show at the Civic Plaza this weekend... The show starts on Thursday (Thanksgivnig) and goes until Sunday.

Thanks for the welcome. I'm currenly using my mom's 03 Cavalier to get to and from work while I save some cash to get a car of my own. I'm definitely interested in the Mazda3's. Where i'm located depends on the time of day... work is in extreme north scottsdale and home is around 27th Ave and Bethany Home. (you can see why i need a fuel efficient car) Where is this photo album located?
