Hi guys!
I\'m new here but not to the Mazda3forums. Nice to see a local community.
I gotta say how much I love this new Mazda3. I\'ve owned 3 BMWs in recent years and this car comes pretty close to being my favorite (my \'99 328I was NICE, but that\'s another story...).
I\'ve owned the car now for 1 month and I\'m rally diggin it. I just installed a sub yesterday and last weekend I upgraded my front speakers. That\'s about it for stereo stuff for me but the next step is bigger and nicer rims :)
I\'m also curious to see what kind of gas mileage some of are getting. I have a feeling I\'m getting quite good mileage. Right now I\'m getting 670Kms /per tank (manual trans on a 2.0L engine). Gassing up like this takes 45-50L so I know there is about 5L left in the tank when I do this. Never run out of gas so far, I think I\'ve got the whole thing worked out.
Quite a bit better mileage than my RAV4 I had before (440Kms / tank) Yuck.
Anyhow, I\'m interested in the T.O. meets to see what some of you are doing and to network a bit.
See ya around!
P.S. I\'ve kept my old custom license plate from my BMW Z3 and it seems to work for this new car (Mazda3, Z3...)
