I bought a new vehicle today, my is250 was beginning to be too expensive for me to run. The cost of premium fuel, cost of maintenance, and the fact my girl friend can not drive standard has convinced me to buy a brand new Mazda 3 GS.

The mazda has everything my car has plus bluetooth, heated seats and rain sensing wipers and is actually going to save me hundreds of dollars a month because of cost of fuel, my payment is slightly cheaper, and my insurance is slightly cheaper.

Im sad to see it go but it has to. Just wanted to say thank you for all the help Ive gotten from this website and wish everyone the best of luck with their vehicles.

Welcome to the club I actually own a 2010 mazda3 s sport hatchback for my daily driving and I love the way this car handles more than my IS and the Bluetooth even streams audio from my iPhone 3GS. But in my case the insurance is actually higher on the mazda than my IS since I drive about 100 miles a day for my commute to work.

Good luck you'll love the car BTW check out Mazda3revolution website for lots of good info.

Sorry to hear you have to let your car go.

I'm in the same boat as you. I just realize how expensive to actually drive a Lexus. Gas isn't cheap any more, plus insurance price keeps going up. That's not even counting my car payments.

To see everyone modding happy left and right leaves me scratching my head. Mods are expensive, I'm doing it slowly and carefully.

Times are tough now... I guess we have to make adjustments and hang in there. Good luck bro!
