Aquatic Blue Mica Touring AT. The car will be used for commuting and as transportation for my son to college. Just signed the deal tonight and will pick the car up Monday evening. This is car #59 for me and my last Mazda was a 2006 RX8 Shinka 6MT. I currently also own a 2011 Subaru WRX, 1991 GMC Syclone, 2002 Toyota Sequoia, and a 1965 Corvair Corsa Convertible. I have owned lots of performance cars over the years (S4 Audi's, M3, MCoupe, EVO, various GTI's, a VW R32...well you get the idea). As a result I am pretty jaded as a car guy but when I test drove the 2 this evening I immediately felt comfortable with the car. Sure its not fast (especially with the AT), but it has a nice interior and does handle pretty well in stock form. The test drive put a smile on my face and the blow-out pricing on the 2012's prompted me to buy it over a number of other cars I was considering. Looks like there are a few mods for the car to improve handling and braking, and a few low cost NA engine bolt-on's as well. Should be interesting and will be spending time searching the forum for various information about the car in the near future.
