First in Sep 2016.
If things go as planned will scoop up a used 2018 Mazda6 in 2 years as one of my cars gets tons of miles on it.
Now if only i can find a good indy shop in DFW
I've owned cars since 1970, buying used/paying cash, ranging from a '63 Lincoln to an Austin Healey to a Vega,and more. I've owned 2 new trucks in there somewhere.
I've said it many times, I wish I had discovered the brand before, even buying used. I now see why so many people are brand-loyal. Such great cars.
I have enjoyed all of the Mazda RWD vehicles I have owned:
1980 GLC SPORT
1981 626 DX
1981 626 LX
1982 626 DX
1982 626 LX
1985 RX-7 GSL-SE
1987 RX-7 Turbo II
1992 Miata
1992 Miata
2004 RX-8
This CX-30 is my first Mazda. I have always wanted one in the past, but could never find the ones at the used car dealer that I liked available. I'm talking some of the older models from before the days I could legally drive. Some of those 80s and early 90s models were neat.
'81 RX-7 (still have)
'91 MPV
'96 Protege
'98 Millenia S
'01 MPV
'03 Protege
'99 Protege (wife's that I helped buy used before we were married)
'06 Speed6
'06 RX-8 (wife's)
'00 Miata
'15 CX-5
Quite a few others in our family who have Mazdas, pretty much all based on my recommendation. I have always loved how fun Mazdas are to drive, and for me the value for what you spend is far above anything else in the class.
2017 - purchased 2010 mazda 5 then got totaled by a careless driver in 2020 (gained $400 from insurance after deducted the car purchase price)
2020 - purchased 2015 mazda 5 sport with 70k miles on it. Hasn't put 1k miles for the past 4 months because of COVID.
