Thanks, guys.

After purchasing a 2016 Mazda3 on advice from this sub and living with it for a week, my entire view of driving has changed.Background: 05 Civic, 08 Jetta, now this. Maybe it should be obvious, but I've always viewed cars as a utility, not a toy.But oh boy. Oooooh boy. This car. This damn car. The steering is so responsive, the acceleration is so quick and smooth, and the interior is so well designed. I can't get over how comfortable the seats are. The fact that I ever drove a Jetta feels utterly shameful.No longer are my commutes and daily drives repetitive slogs of stop and go. Now I'm weaving, throttling, whippin' it around turns. My previous car, the Jetta, had a sport mode, while my Mazda3 i touring does not. But it doesn't need it. It's like it's always in sport mode. I'm always just one footfall away from being pressed into the seat (One thing I really love is how the seats are angled to catch you when you turn).And I could go on for days about how sexy it is. God, those curves.So thanks everyone. I wouldn't have gone for the 3 without this sub, and I'm so glad I did. It's the start of a new driving enthusiasm. via /r/cars http://ift.tt/2tavs2W
