As a child, I spilled milk in the back of my mom’s 91 Protege. The smell of rotten milk came back twice a year for the remainder of the car’s life like some sort of curdled ghost.

Back in ‘10, I got one of these for a rental car. Drove it off the lot, had a Christmas Tree worth of warning lights light up on the dash. Made it a mile before I turned around and went back to the Chrysler 200 they had on the lot.

I was the same about my CX3 and almost wept when I saw the first door ding. After that, I came to my senses that no matter how careful I was, other people genuinely don’t care at all.

Continual tapping of the brake. Some people don’t understand that you can slow down simply by taking your foot off the gas. You don’t have to stamp on the brake all the time.

<<— Millenial, crazy high student loans. Completely independent of my parent, with a decent job. Can't qualify for a house but I qualify easily for new cars. Being a gearhead, it's the one "luxury" I can take advantage of.

My ex had (has?) a 2012 Mustang. On the surface, it’s not too bad, but it was the V6. And it was an Auto.

I instantly think of toothpaste and orange juice. And the taste of that combination.

I was with you up until you said Mazda. Mazda doesn’t even belong in the same sentence as those other two.

I love being underestimated, especially at auto dealerships. One time, this sales guy started talking (to my then bf) about how a crash happened probably because the car had more power than a woman can handle. Needless to say, ex-bf had to pull me out of the doors once I started laying into the jerkface.

This is one of my all time favorite vehicles! Thanks for bringing one back to life!

As a CX-3 owner, I’m looking forward to the comparison review. I chose the CX-3 over the Honda HR-V (why do they all have dashed names?), but I’m looking forward to driving the C-HR just to see the difference.

THIS! I was like.. WTF is that crazy taxi. This arcade game was everything AND I even enjoyed the app. I miss this crazy taxi.

Greyed but still want to play!

Cosign. My first car was that exact one in black. We still have it. Over 175,000 miles and my mom uses it as a backup car to her Camry which has 355,000 miles. It’ll never die haha.

Oh the irony

Max and Kyle are STILL my #relationshipgoals. I’d love to see this come back!

I was about 21-22 and someone had decided to run over my Versa (don’t judge me on that, my mom bought it for me) with their Odyssey while pulling into a parking spot.

I have a ‘16 CX3 and that’s one of my biggest gripes. I will say, the headrests do retract all the way down into the seat back, which is nice, but if someone is sitting back there or leaves the headrest(s) up, it’s friggin impossible to see.

Agreed. We test drove a SHO a couple weeks ago and he was uncomfortable in the driver’s seat (6'2"/230) and I was pretty cramped in the back (5'5"). The car looks huge on the outside but when you’re inside it’s pretty claustrophobic.

My mom had a shadow. Apparently I was in love with that car when I was younger, crying even when the doofus who didn’t know how to drive stick used it as a minor battering ram in a new car lot.
