I loved this car. I call it a Gateway Car - it made me fall in love with driving and all the things that are great about driving other than the speed.
My 2010 Mazda is the first car I ever bought in September 2009.
I had just moved from living in NYC and Tokyo after college, so it's rare for a 30 year old to only have bought their first car at that age, but so be it.

It's engaging, it's fun, you can take it all the way and not be in any danger. It's not fast but if you drive it right, you can feel how quick it is.
The only downside is that the car makes you want more out of driving than it can deliver.
Hope the next person has as much fun as I did.
Brian donated a 2010 Mazda 3 to Marketplace through the Car Talk Vehicle Donation Program.
Thank you, Brian!
