Update for everyone. On Friday I picked up a 2017 Mazda 3 hatchback with the 6 speed auto. Soul Red Metallic color.

Today I picked up a 2017 Mazda 3 Touring in soul red metallic. Absolutely gorgeous. I work for Grubhub and I was driving a 2017 Toyota prius which is a good car for it but I got sick of the way it drives and of course the way drivers act around me while I was driving it. The overall stigma...

Transmission d and f?

Hey guys, thanks for all of your input. I now have a 2017 soul red metallic Mazda 3.

I know lol. I haven't gotten a ticket in over 5 years. The good thing about the Mazda is I hear it's fun to drive at pretty much any speed. It's engaging and the 6 speed auto is very responsive. I also hear that it has a decent amount of lower end torque despite not having a turbo.

Agreed.

That's a good suggestion. The problem is in my area, SLC UT, those hold there value well. To get one with under 50k miles is still quite a bit above my 20k budget. I'm most likely going to go with the Mazda 3 today as it has a good mix of everything.

Yes gross. I get to write off 56 cents per mile for taxes so that's awesome. I get what your saying but I have literally never been treated like I have driving the prius in any other vehicle. As I said above, I have found a great deal on a Mazda.

Thanks. Going to a reputable dealer today to check out a 2017 Mazda 3 Touring in the beautiful soul red color. It's a hatchback so that's practical just like the prius. It's listed at 14,700 with 42,000 miles on it. I'll most likely be going home with it. Mazda makes really good cars that are...

I heard the 13 to 17 is great with the 2.4.

Cheap and good. Fast is all relative lol. To lots of people like me, 170 to 200 hp is plenty to go as fast as you need.

Agreed I'm not looking for something flashy, just more engaging and fun to drive while still returning good mpg. What do you drive? What's your primary job?

Right now I'm looking at the Mazda 3 and 6. Looks very fun to drive based on YouTube reviews. However, I don't know about it safely making it to 200k. I am wondering about honda accord and civic getting to 200k. Toyota Corolla and camry also. There's lots of good deals on 18+ camrys. I've heard...
