So, my current DD is 10 years old, european, and getting to that point where it needs a fair amount of work. Its a great car, but I'm not 20 anymore, and working on a car regularly doesn't bring me much joy anymore. I already have two other mazdas (MSP #2750, and a 98 B4000). Was looking at other cars, and just happened to pull into the mazda dealership last night, Drove a 2018 Grand touring 3 hatch. White on parchment. It seemed nice. It was small compared to my other car, and, how do I say this... Slow. BUT being that its a daily driver, I don't need a car to be fast, I need it to be reliable, and get fuel economy, and be safe and last along time. But I also don't want to feel like I bought a piece of plastic that is rattling itself apart (something I've found common in lower end cars I've been looking at.) looking at what you don't like about yours, to see if that's something I'm willing to live with.
