same model, same exterior color, same interior color, same wheel size :confused: The old one is perfectly fine with low mileage.

my parents just bought a Impreza yesterday... I don't know why they didn't buy a manual (my dad drives manual and loves it, but mom said the shitty sportshift was the same thing)

!SG 08-31-2009 08:03 AM

After selling their Protege 5 to my sister, my parents were looking at the Matrix. I told them that it was a weak ass car, took my dad to test drive the Matrix, then test drive the Mazda3 right afterwards. Parents were impressed, I did all the talking and everything was setup. All they had to do was go in and sign the papers. They came home with a Mazda6

i bet you wouldn't be annoyed if the word "speed" was between "Mazda" and "6". ;)

Is this the new gen mazda6?

Our family has a Dodge Caravan from 1996. My dad wants to trade it in and get a new Caravan. :(

unit 08-31-2009 11:19 AM

^my dad has a 2000 caravan with 300k on it for his work. the rad leaked and he went to trade it in they said they'd give him $500. he got the rad fixed for cheap. really reliable car! 300k and this is its first problem. his next van will be another caravan.

Nah, this was back in '05. I wouldn't tell my parents to buy the current Mazda's, they're too ricey for people in their late 50's.

caravans are amazingly reliable my friend have a 1992 one ... tht thing was unstoppeable .. went to mexico and back no problem had 160k on it and he abuses it like crazy

My dad bought a MDX over a SRT Cherokee, because it is an Acura and has lots of power according to his idiotic friends.

hk20000 08-31-2009 07:48 PM

2GR-FE? Good choice. Your parents are awesome. They are trading up from a 3.0 to a 3.5 that's like 286bhp. You'll weep if they decide to race your SLK.
