2014 Mazda3 S GTNice ride, tif. 2.0 or 2.5L? Manual or auto?
2.5 (technically 2488), auto. (I've had it with manuals, knowing - as dodint will note - that I've forfeited my only anti-theft device.) It's got about 45 more bhp than the Celica, but weighs a good 600 pounds more, too. It has taken a bit to get used to the brakes; they're electronic assist, discs on all four corners (Celica had rear drums), and has an energy recovery system. Pedal can feel a little squishy at times. Sight lines are also a little weird, in that you can't actually see the front edge of the hood. The rake is such that you can't hardly see the hood at all, so corners and parking were a bit of an adventure for a couple days. I found I was parking like a foot from the curb.
