automatic or stick?



5 speed automatic. i drive to much traffic to get stick.

Excuses excuses;)

I think the best thing about white cars is the "clean" look. I'm glad I was convinced to get white instead of the dark blue I originally wanted.



would u want to drive stick in a 2 hours of traffic everyday?

I do it because of the fun I have when there isn't traffic. Besides, its a LOT faster car with the stick;)

my p/u is a stick and I drive in alot of traffic, PITA but fun when no traffic. although the smell of burning your clutch isnt the greatest...

In a perfect world I'd probably have an '06 Civic for a commuter car but eh, can't have everything. I'd rather deal with traffic and do 13's then have an auto and MAYBE do 14's;)

Not bad. I like the new Mazada's, the front dose look a bit off though on the 3s though.



im not a big fan of the fog light area. but i love the overall look still.

the fog lights on the hatch look better. but i liked the sedan better.

Yeah, thats what caught my attention too, but it's the only flaw I could find.

It's probably somthing I'd consider as my next car, a MazdaSpeed version would be nice to see.

Very nice. Good choice of color, too. The white looks so good with blacked out headlights/taillights. Is that spoiler a new part for 2006? I don't think I've seen it before.
