Title: Faster transportation
Post by: Magnum on June 17, 2015, 01:13:42 PM
After 5 years with no car, I bought a 2009 Mazda CX-7.

It has 85,315 miles.

I bought it from a constable and he took great care of it.

I will still ride my bike for exercise and to keep my weight down.  :biggrin:

Mazda engines are the best, at least, in the under $50,000 price range. Last time I had a Mazda, a Millenia S, first month or so I kept making mistake of turning the key to start engine when it was already on - so quiet and smooth u couldn't tell

You are right.

My previous Mazda Protege had 242,045 miles and was getting 28 m.p.g. in the city and 40 on the highway.

It was a standard transmission.

It's kinda of hard to find those now a days.
