My 08 Mazda 3 has ruined me for American cars. Their attention to detail and level of quality for the money in regards to the interior blows every single Chevy, Caddy, and Ford I’ve ever been in out of the water.

Even down to not being able to see screw holes in the “oh s*it” handles. I love my Mazda!

My 2008 Mazda3 with the 2.3l has been perfect all the way up to its current 171,xxx miles. It has required zero major mechanical repairs (though I did have to replace that junction box... Cost me $100 on eBay).

CP.

No way. I drove one of those for several years. It was terrible.

That interior looks like it was made out of the largest cat anus in the world.

CP!

At least they don’t put fake testicles on their cars/trucks (presumably to make up for the real ones they’re missing).

Is this a joke?

Woohoo!

I’ve had 5 different used cars. None of them required much maintenance - nothing that couldn’t be handled by myself with my Walmart tools and up to 2 hours.

WRX STI for sure!
Plus, it’ll hold its value, which helps out with the “being smart about money” thing.

$750 starting for a loveseat that looks like it came from Walmart is supposed to be reasonable?

The seller has changed his post to say that his insurance does cover test drivers.

This!

Oh wow - I had a 2005 Outback that, as far as I can tell, looked identical to yours.
It was awful. Constant little problems - brakes, misfires, CV joints, valve cover gasket leaks, head gasket failure, rear suspension failure, front passenger wheel bearing failure... the list could go on.
Sold it with only 50k miles...…

Just a quick search on my local Craigslist tells me big CP on this one, even if it had a paper trail. Too many unknowns and potential issues for that much money.

This describes me and I’m only 29. (Except for the PT Cruiser. Gross.)

I thank God every day that Oldsmobile went out of business. My wife had a 2003 Aurora and it was the biggest POS I’ve ever driven. Everything went wrong with it. At only 104k miles, the suspension was shot, the dash was warping, and there were rattles everywhere. The interior was so cheaply put together I could take…

That interior is repulsive - I feel like that’s what Jabba The Hutt’s insides look like. CP for sure.
