Haven't driven one yet, but am sure I'll be satisfied. Anything is better than a Cavalier Coupe, and I am sure this car is worlds better.

I have looked at them at the dealership and fell instantly in love with these cars. The exterior styling is top notch for a car in this price range. The interior styling is probably the best I have seen in a car in this price range.

I would go test drive today on my day off, but I don't want to tease myself any further. I have my eye on a 4-door S model with 4-speed auto & ABS/SAB/SAC Package. Can't really decide on the color. The titanium grey and strato blue look cool. Yellow is nice, but the car i have now is yellow. Time for something low key.

I was thinking of the Lancer Ralliart, but the interior looks no where near as nice as the 3's interior. Exterior looks ugly, i like the 3's exterior better. The engine and suspension are have gotten good reviews.

If Mazda was offering 0% interest & a little cash back I could get one right now. We'll have to wait and see if there are any end of the model year closeouts come October or November.

The wait will kill but I have a feeling it will be well worth it.

"Anything is better than a Cavalier Coupe"

True that! I'm sure you'll love your new car. I was stuck in a Impala loaner vehicle for a week and a bit and it just re-affirmed my absolute hatred for GM vehicles outside of the older GMC pickups.

I was thinking about the Lancer Ralliart too when I was car shopping back in March. I had a week full of test drives where I drove a Focus, Jetta 1.8T, and Mazda3. I was going to test the Ralliart on Friday, the day after the Mazda3 but I didn't need to. By then, I already knew which car I wanted and there was no point in test driving anything else. :lol:

Go with winning blue or velocity red. The paint is absolutely immaculate! I have received so many compliments on my winning blue sedan...

Aw hell, I am going to the dealership after lunch to browse, chit chat with a salesman and get a brochure.

I'll look just won't touch(drive).

lol

I'm in the same boat as you for test drives. There was a reason I didn't test drive the Mach1 or the RX-8 I was thinking about because I would have left the dealership with one.
