    Mazda is really underrated in my opinion. They make great cars. Let me know if you are interested in a 2010 Tacoma or a 2014 Corolla though :wink:

    It's a great daily driver. I have steelies with blizzaks, and run it all winter too. Haven't driven the truck in the snow in the past 2 years.

    Radiator was leaking. So new one going in.

    gonna do front brakes too. A mix and match of oem and aftermarket.

    should have it back tomorrow.


    :fingerscrossed: This is the last issue for a while.


    Top little cars while I consider

    Mazda 3 hatch
    Elantra gt n version
    Gti

    Surprised how drawn I am to the Hyundai. With a stick it seems like a fun ride.:eek:

    might just stay truck only tho.

    If I get a little car I would keep the truck too.

    if I ever do I’ll let ya know tho. At this point I’ve basically rebuilt it and the frame is only 3 years old.

    Everyone I have known who had a GTI had issues with it. Fun, but not without issues. I knew one guy who had 3 water pumps put in his in the first 30k miles.

    I agree I can’t get myself to seriously consider it and it’s the most expensive.

    I like the interior of the Hyundai the best but the outside of the Mazda.

    You guys know anything about modern Mazda quality? Hyundai has a 10yr 100k power train warranty which is nice.
