I was at school without a real job and in 2 year I had 5 used cars. So my mother decided to back me on a new car location and my aunt working at Mazda could make me a deal. So Mazda 3 base model it was. Did a lot of mileage in it and it was a location so after 2 years I was already 46 000km over my contract and it was a 4 years contract, so I had to change. But in the 2 years (126 000km or 78 750miles) I had it I was very hard on it and even did some off-road and never had any problem. I really like that car.
