Hello!

Name's Dan! I used to float around here under the old monicker "archangelptx" years ago as an '05 owner before she went elsewhere as I moved to a 2000 NB. Can't get back into that account, and to be honest, I don't think little 17-18 year old me really fits the old persona anyway.

Now I'm back with a 2016 Mazda 3 i Touring, go figure. >:)

Anyway, just droppin' in to say howdy, time to go see what I've missed out on over the years and get caught up. Here she is (at a terrible angle though, heh). Zoom zoom!



:grin2:

Welcome back; I recently returned myself. I'm a former 2009 Mazda3 i Touring Value Edition and now moving up to a 2016 5-Door; the car should be here any week now. :)


I'd like to hear your thoughts on how your two Mazda3s compare.

Welcome back yourself, good sir!

It's night and day, but mainly due to having my choice of what I wanted this time around, versus having the '05 provided when I went off to college (with my parents' older tastes).

Biggest two differences were going from automatic with tiptronic on the '05 to 6-speed on the '16 (every vehicle I've owned since the '05 has been manual) and finally getting black interior over the tan. I can't stand the tan.

Certainly feels way more tightened up than the older generation as well, which I'm having a blast with. Jumping up a whole decade in terms of automotive technology certainly makes a massive difference. ;)
