today i traded in my 1995 pontiac sunfire and drove away in a shiny, new 2007 mazda 3 sport GT!
zippy-zippy zoom-zoom!
since shopping for cars is not as easy as shopping for shoes, i was armed with a lot of information: articles on car-buying; wholesale reports from CarCostCanada; the latest Best 2007 Cars issue of Consumer Reports.
although i am a very indecisive person by nature, i knew that i wanted a honda or toyota (i didn’t really want a mazda since mazda is owned by ford). i wanted a hatchback. i really wanted a moonroof. i also wanted a hybrid, but even with the tax rebates, the toyota prius was out of my reach. i knew i wanted a car in time to drive it to ALC 2007…
i test drove the toyota matrix, since it met my criteria, and i liked it. i was just about to go buy it, when… at the eleventh hour, i decided that i MUST test drive the mazda 3, just to rule out that i really don’t want a mazda. turns out i really liked the mazda 3!!!
i waffled in great agony between the toyota matrix and the mazda 3. i finally decided on the mazda 3 and then i waffled in great agony over the colour…
black cars look better in the shade!
