Decided AWD is required for PA winters? What did you not like about the RWD Toyobaru? Was it a stick?
Well if you really want a sports car, you buy a well cared for previous gen M roadster. That is the last thing I drove that really did the sports car thing for affordable $$$.
My wife and I sat these Mazda and found them tending to claustrophobic with the high beltline. Also hard to find roof racks from the port. Odd looking Duck, mainly due to the proportion, but not as odd as some alien Tesla weirdness spied on the highway.
Wish you good luck with this one, but I find new cars these days soulless tin cans. Yes, I have been thinking about something new and exciting, but cannot get inspired by the insipid.
Having enjoyed Buick's finest hour from the mid sixties, can't say there have been anything better overall 60 years on. The 13 mpg out of the Naillhead is a bit of a downer though, LOL.
