Hi all I've been browsing the site for about 5 weeks now and thought it about time I introduced myself. After giving my last car to my daughter last Xmas I had been trying to decide what to buy next,when,after about 5 months (I'm not very quick) it dawned on me. Having had 4 Mazda pick ups over the last 30 odd years (2 from new) and been more than happy with them all the logical conclusion was 'another Mazda'. Having decided on a 3 the next decision was which model, a diesel? (sensible side) or mps? ( mid life crisis side). The mps side won and after 2 or 3 months looking bought a 07 in black with 34k on the clock. Had it about 3weeks now and really pleased with it, I have no plans to modify it at the moment my thinking is to keep it for 5+ years and it will probably appreciate rather than depreciate if i keep the mileage low. Anyway, thats the theory.Just hope I haven't bought a dog!

to the forum! I am not sure about how long your desires to keep it standard will last. Give it a few months, weeks maybe
