No more Mazda. What’s next?

1st goal not to own the car outside of its warranty with TWO major engine manufacturing flaws has been accomplished. Before the very big recall that is sure to come. It’s a bummer, because I really like the car and such decent power. It’s possible I might buy another if and when it becomes clear they have fixed the problems and stood by the affected units (they sold a LOT of cars with the 2.5T last year.)

Next up, fun but practical family car that will also replace the 2.

Terrible time to do this, but the Mazda CarMaxed for a new high. Still somewhat of a loss, but not horrible at all.

(Now I have to hope the 2 keeps going until its service appointment, or at least until my kid shifts over to his other parent this Sunday.

)

I am prepared to limp along with just the 2 for as long as I need to. (It helps that it’s summer soon—at least here.)
