Good day everyone!

I am wrapping up day two of owning my first Mazda. I was hoping I could put off buying a newer vehicle until the end of summer, but I didn't think putting more money into my Ford was a good idea if I was planning on replacing it anyway. (Needed alot of front end work)

So luckily I had already done some research and a Mazda 3 was one of my top options. And coming across this forum helped solidify that for me so thank you all.

I got a okay deal on a 2013 GS-Sky that was a former rental at my local dealer. I guess they purchased a lot of them back as they had a group of 2013 used all come in at same time.

So far I love how it drives! I took it out for a little tour to get used to it yesterday and unfortunately took a rock off the windshield and got a chip. (I have bad luck when it comes to windshields and my new cars!) but other than that I am feeling very good about my purchase and I look forward to the continued education from being part of this site.

Thanks for all the welcomes everyone. Being new to Mazda I am curious on what your opinions would be for things to look out for when it comes to these cars?

Krown/Rust Check is most recommended...as for mounts JBR/Corksport will do the trick
