I own a 3 hatchback

[KuRuPT3]

I had never even seen or heard of the Mazda 3 untill i went to look at a used RX7 last night, they were unloading the 3's off a truck and i told the salesman i wanted to drive 1. after the drive i told him that if i wanted a white 1 with a 5 spd, white with sunroof, 6disk changer and the balck and blue seats. It just so happened the only white 1 they were getting was just that so i drove home in that instead of the rx7. This car is very fun to drive, and it turns alot of heads, i have gotten so many compliments in the last 18 hours its crazy. The car carves very hard for a car of its size. and the vvt actually works well with this motor pulls very hard from 4200 rpm. the american cars do not have daytime running lights (thank god) the dash looks cool as **** at night. My car is going to be the test bed for a new exhaust system from CorkSport so i will post again as soon as i have pics or more info, my car had 6 miles on it when i bought it, its at 120 now so dont know about MPG yet but it seems to be doing very well. If you have any questions i will do my best to answer.

Looks fantastic--I usually don't like white cars but the 3 looks pretty sweet in white...

Where do you live and were you able to negotiate on the price?

[Dlovtsur]

Congrats!

Can you tell us what you paid?

Also, how does the stereo sound?

I bought my car from Royal Moore Mazda in Hillsboro OR. They were awsome, i would highly reccomend them to anyone. I payed 18350 for the car

The stereo sounds good for a factory setup not much bass but very clean sound

Did you get the Xenon headlights? From your pictures, it looks like you did, but you didn't mention that option in your initial post. If you didn't get the Xenon's, then it looks like you paid MSRP for the car. Correct me if I'm wrong, but Oregon has no sales tax?

Also, is the white a pure white, or is it pearl (metallic)?
