Hi everyone,

As some of you may know, i used to drive the Strato Blue Mazda 3 around....

Now i drive this! 2004 BMW Z4 3.0i Loaded!

I still got my Mazda but my brother is driving it now, sometimes my dad, or me sometimes when i need more space and seats.

To everyone wondering if they should buy a Mazda 3 or why i changed the car (maybe it was not reliable). Here is the truth, I sat in the Mazda last night, and my gosh is it alot more comfortable... easy to get in and get out.. My car has 123,000KM and never had a single problem, oil change required only. Still drives like new, no funny noises what so ever. Great car...

I will be around still! and selling some of old Mazda parts! haha.

the car has about 39,000 miles when i bought it... it was a private sale.... no warranty.

the car looks, feels and drive spanking new... the last owners really babied it, the engine bay is spotless... until i started driving it in the rain.

i had it for about 3000 miles.. (can't stop driving)...

Oil change (5w-40) with oil filter.. 8 qtz of oil.. approx.. $110 (not at dealer)
Air Filter approx $35

Tank is 50L same as the mazda 3.. travelling distance is about the same.. 400-440KM.. but the warning light comes on when there is 80KM left in the tank.. Only difference is you got to fill it up with premium gas.

As for driving experience, is one hell of a car.. it will accelerate to 200km/hr without hesitation, and will keep going... i never tried, cuz it freaks the shit out of me at about 190km/hr...

Turn off DTC and u can do slight drift, and the DSC will kicks in to stabilize the car.. Really makes you look like you know how to drive...

Can't stop driving with the top down.. you feel great.. other drivers admire you.. is a different experience.

hmm oil change at dealer is 120 anywyas, might as well spend the extra 10 and get free drinks and snacks while looking at newer beemers at a dealership lol.

on a side note, the mazda3 has a 50l tank??? i swear my 3 had a 40l tank.
