In the CarDomain Garage: Mazda3 i Touring 4-Door

Editor-in-Chief

Check out our new copper red mica Mazda3 i Touring 4-Door test car! Ok, so it’s a boring FWD automatic sedan, but that doesn’t mean we can’t have some fun with it. With the auto and the moonroof/6CD/Bose package, the MSRP is pushed up close to $21k. But still, it seems like a pretty decent car for the money. I’ll be driving it around town and then down to Portland this weekend, and will give you my full review next week. Stay tuned…

I’m still trying to figure out the boxing gloves serving as nerf bars on the Studebaker pickup…

I’m embarrassed that you call that shiny Audi dirty when my car is currently brown from dust and has sap stuck all over the roof

street parking sucks ass.

Hey Rob, you should stop by on your way through to or from Portland, I’m like 2 miles off I-5, It would be great to meet the Man, the big boss and all those other names for editor in chief. It would also be great to get a better look at that Mazda, I Used to have one of it’s ancestors an 88 323, be cool to see what time has improved.

A boring FWD? Any kind of Mazda 3, beats a Corolla or Sentra in the fun factor department, everybody knows the most fun comes from a Honda Civic and a Mazda 3 these days.
